 A Boost for the Start of Your Marriage October 19, 2004
14 out of 16 found this review helpful
I have used this title by James Dobson numerous times as a premarital recommendation for young couples looking to get a good start on their marriage. Dr. Dobson does a great job of covering all the bases for a solid Christian marriage. It is readable, believable and attractively presented by the publisher. It is the type of book a young couple serious about their marriage can have as a keepsake and reference book as they progress in their early years of marriage. 5 stars in my book.
Time doesn't change God's design... February 27, 2004
20 out of 23 found this review helpful
After reading other reviews of this book I feel compelled to add my two cents. Some say this book presents women in a cowardly and foolish light and that the principals contained in it are outdated; that Dr. Dobson needs to enter the 21st century. However, time doesn't change God's design and plan for males and females. He did, in fact, make us different and no liberal social agenda can change that. What Dobson has to say IS still relevant today and IS valuable to both Christians and non-Christians that are considering marriage. I would highly recommend it as reading prior to the big day.

This is a GREAT book for engaged couples. Some of those that have written negative reviews (primarily, of Dr. Dobson himself) are the ones with the agenda. I wonder if they've even read this book. I just read this book and, as a Christian, I find it to be an easy-read and touches on major elements that couples must address... BEFORE THE BIG DAY. Dr. Dobson brings a good deal of experience, knowledge, and spirituality into this piece. I wish the book kept going. That is my only complaint. RECOMMENDED! I recommend it to ALL couples, but especially to Christians. If you're not a Christian, I think you will find value in this but please EXPECT Christian principles to be present.

Anytime the Christian Right has a chance to undermine women,it will take that chance and run with it.Please read "The Myth Of Gender" by Fausto- Sterling.Your eyes will be open to new possiblities for your life and family.The whole point of Dobson's book is to controll people so they fall into a limited mindset - male or female,with no room for the individual.The individual is reality not this sexist nonsense.I have always found it more easy to be out in the world and explore.Dobson makes women sound like natural cowards and fools.Very insulting.
Good for those thinking of marriage, Christian or otherwise January 11, 2002

This is a short, easy to read book, intended to give some advice to young couples contemplating marriage. This slow reader began and finished the book within a couple hours, but the length of time reading the book does not reflect how useful the book is. Some of Dobson's main points are: keep Christ as the center of your relationship (Dobson being an evengelical Christian, writing to others who strongly value Christ); make sure you see eye-to-eye on the big things and be prepared to get into big fights about little things; men and women think differently and it would benefit you greatly to learn the way the other sex thinks. Dobson writes in a fluid style and liberally sprinkles in anecdotes, research, and selections from others' works to make his points. In doing this, he makes his main points stand out and makes his book a fun, lighthearted one written about a subject that is anything but light. Recommended.
