Customer Reviews

Energizing your Marriage
We all have busy lives and tend not to broach those important topics very often that deepen our marriages. This book lays out times to build or develop marriage skills and just enjoy one another in a nonthreatening atmosphere. These marriage building times are connected to dating so that makes it even more fun.

Great Book!!!
We were looking at new things to do in our marriage to make it a little stronger and just some new ideas. We got this book from our church who offered free child care while we had to read from the book and do that date every week. IT WAS GREAT! Me and my husband enjoyed reading from the book and it has been FUN! SOo if you would like to help the communication and get date ideas then this is the book for you!!! It talks about improving and/or keeping your marriage alive - it focus on communication but also touches on if you have kids, working, and finding time for your marriage. Overall i would reccommend it to any married couple!

Not what I was expecting
Don't buy this book as a gift, unless you want to tell the recipients their marriage is on the rocks.

I got this book as a present for my sister-in-law and her husband, thinking it would be a lighthearted list of FUN ideas for things to do in their new free time. Wrong-o.

This book might be excellent for couples who are really, really fixated with their relationship, but for couples who just want to enjoy each other's company ... keep looking!
