Story Behind the Book
For every ten marriages in America today, five will end in bitter conflict and divorce. And only one or two couples in ten will achieve what might be called "intimacy" in their marriages. This book helps keep readers from being passive victims in the unfolding drama of their lives together. They can build a stable, satisfying, intimate relationship that will withstand the storms of life. All they need is a little wise counsel...and a burning desire to succeed. Based on information from a panel of successfully married couples, on the research of respected experts in the field, and on the principles endorsed by the Creator of families Himself, Love for a Lifetime is designed to help couples do just that.

that book was delightful. no, no... it was brilliant. no, no, no... there is no word to describe its perfection so i'm forced to make one up. and i'm going to do so right now... scrumtrilescent. Love for a Lifetime was absolutely scrumtrilescent. a book so scrumtrilescent, i can barely move.
Dr. Dobson, i am born anew in your genius.

My wife, two daughters ages 14 and 16, and I are currently working through a chapter a day with this book. I read aloud the chapter and we discuss points brought up and expierences from our own marriage. It works very good for this. The chapters are not too long except for chapter 5 "Fundamentals of a Christain Marriage" which we broke into sections.
This would be a great way to hold a study with your children as my wife and I are doing, with young couples, and with singles who hope to marry one day and go the distance.
My wife and two daughters do not see any demeaning of women as a couple of the negative reviews indicated. Those two people must be seriously biased for some reason.
Highly recommended for those who want to go the distance with a life long mate!
 Love for a Lifetime: Building a Marriage That Will Go the Distance December 19, 2005

I found this book to not only be shallow and poorly written, but also insidiously demeaning to women. Rather than focusing on the individual strengths and weaknesses men and women bring to relationships, the author focused on the weakness and instability of women. In addition, his examples and analogies were often misplaced and poorly devised... certainly not illustrative of his points or of a healthy marriage. I found the content much too general with overuse of stereotypes. My fiancee and I have read Chapman's Five Love Languages and got a great deal more out of that exercise.
Great book!! December 2, 2005

Love for a Lifetime is a great gift September 26, 2005

We think this book has a lot of good advice and thoughts for engaged or newly married couples - or really anyone. We give it as a gift at bridal showers and weddings often. Commitment, Communication and Christ are 3 of the things Dobson stresses as essential to a loving, lifelong marriage.
