Customer Reviews

Must Read for Christian Men
This book is a great reminder of the attacks on marriage, and what we can do to protect against them. As a Pastor, I am all to aware of the attacks that come daily against marriages, and have recommended this book for newlyweds as well as those who have been married for years!

Great book for any married, or soon to be married, man
This book was purchased after a nearly marriage ending situation that creeped up on our family without me ever realizing. Recommended by Focus on the Family, this book is a key instrument to the success of any marriage. Our marriage is, and was, great and still it was just as much a target for infidelity as any other. Hedges are needed in any marriage, especially the ones that last a life time. Thank you Jerry Jenkins for writing a candid yet powerful text that has helped me reestablish my boundaries and save my marriage!

Sound advice for protecting your marriage.
Long before he received acclaim for his popular Left Behind series of books (and films), Jerry Jenkins was helping couples solidify their marriages. This volume of HEDGES: LOVING YOUR MARRIAGE ENOUGH TO PROTECT IT, is an updated version of Jenkins' book originally published in 1989.

The primary focus here is teaching couples how to avoid falling under the pitfalls of infidelity, which permeates far too many marriages. Many young couples might scoff at the notion, but before you do, just stop and think of how many other young people you grew up with who came from single parent homes. For many of those children of broken homes, infidelity was the cause. This is not just a problem that faces only a select group either. Prominent evangelists, judges, even US Presidents have fallen prey to infidelity. This is a growing problem that can and does affect us all in some way or another.

Here, Jenkins teaches how to, as he terms it, plant hedges to protect ourselves, our spouses and our children from becoming victims to a temporary wave of seemingly uncontrollable libido. The advice is practical and easily implementable. Given that over the past couple of generations, almost all men and women find themselves interacting more and more with the opposite sex, coupled with a rather cavalier social attitude toward infidelity (thank you Mr. Clinton), it is more important today than ever before to know how to prevent falling into such situations.

Don't think for one minute "this will never happen to me". It certainly can happen to anyone. Knowing how to plant the hedges of protection will prepare you to know how to avoid such possibilities. You made a promise before God to be true and faithful to your spouse. You owe it to him or her and you owe it to your children to be prepared if and when you are tempted.
