A must have book for any marriage!

Recently I was given the opportunity to review Dr. Gary Chapman's new book titled Life Promises for Couples. I immediately jumped at the chance. If you have ever been to a marriage seminar or retreat through the Military, you probably already know the name Dr. Gary Chapman, or at least the title of his best selling book, The Five Love Languages. Speaking of, how's your love tank today?

Life Promises for Couples would best be described as a marriage bible or your go to book for inspiration. It has inspirational quotes and "tips" designed to encourage and inspire couples of all ages. It's small and can easily fit into your nightstand or purse. Men, you could easily and discretely stick this in your toolbox (hey don't get all macho now, we know you read Cosmo trying to figure us out, and this book will serve you much better).

This book gives you hope and courage even on your worst day. In fact I don't think I can describe in words what this book "brings to the table" in a marriage. This book does have a religious bearing to it, but not overbearing by any means. My husband is a man who refuses to go to church or talk God, but he loves the books Dr. Gary Chapman publishes. I must also confess that I read this book daily, not for marital reasons, but for reasons of trying to keep my sanity during a stressful workday!

This is a must read for all married couples!  Dont let the subject matter scare you away.  This book is well written, easy to follow, informative and has a Christian point of view.  I gave this book 5/5 stars.  I liked how the book was laid out, very organized.  I also liked that the author made the subject matter factual yet with a loving attitude.  I would recommend this book for all couples, maybe a Sunday School class or even a Bible study book to read through.

I would like to thank the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading.  I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

This book has changed my marriage and my life. It teaches, through simple ways, how to turn your marriage into a truly celestial one. A friend recommended it to me and I had my doubts that it could really be that fantastic. But it really is. Now I tell anyone that will listen to buy this book, read it with a humble heart and then apply its teachings. My husband has never read this book but knows that I have ready it and have applied its teachings and so now he is believer too. He loves the changes he has seen in me and the way I treat him. It's up to you....if you want to know specific ways to make your husband truly adore you and your marriage a happy one, you've got to read this book!

Elaine's Book "We All Married Idiots" was like a marriage refresher course for me.  My Honey and I celebrated 55 years
of marriage this year and I recognized both of us many times in the pages of this terrific book.  Elaine uses humor, personal
stories, common sense, scripture, prayer and serious challenges to bring the reader to an awareness of areas we cannot
change and those we can in our marriages.  Her book is filled with Godly advise for couples of all ages.  It is a book to be read and reread over and over again.  "We All Married Idiots" is also a great asset for Pastors and Marriage Counselors
in their ministry to couples.  Only eternity will reveal how many lives were touched by this inspirational book.

This book is amazing. I have a very good marriage already that God transformed. And I totally agree with all the advice she gives in this book.  This is exactly how God restored my marriage by changing me first into a woman who submitted to her husband. I would give this book 10 stars if I was able to.  I am also purchasing 5 more books to give to some woman that struggle in their marriage. May God Bless this woman and keep on using her.

This is a must read for every mother, wife or soon to be wife! It will help you see past all the feminist liberal propaganda and see where God really designed you to be! It will help you grow past your own immature selfishness and grow into a happy fulfilled woman honoring God!

I recomend this book to everyone I know and I am going to get copies for my daughters for when they are old enough to start considering marriage. I will also get a copy for my son's some day wife so that she will know what God expects of her as a Help Meet!

Love it!

I keep reading it again and again! Even my husband says he can tell that I love him unselfishly now and our already wonderful marriage is now breathtaking!

The Man's Handbook for Choosing the Right Woman is a must have for those who have marriage on the mind, whether it's next year or within the next 10 years.  This is a very easy read because it is extremely well written however it has depth and content that will force you to evaluate and re-evaluate your past, present, and future relationships!

I highly recommend this book to both men and women, young and old, single and divorced.  I guarantee you will learn at least one thing about yourself in relationships that you did not know before!

I can honestly say this book has really helped, no this book saved my marriage. Of course my wife and I did the work. But the tools on communication. And the biblical inspiration, along with the platform the Joel & Naomi laid out to follow is tremendously helpful. I encourage all couples married and engaged to be married to read this book. It will help you

Anyone who wants to improve, brush up on, learn more about, or be encouraged about marriage should read this book! Amazing biblical teaching straight from the heart of a woman of God! She is also an amazing speaker! Plus, she likes giggling, I met her in person at Auburn Alliance Women's conference this year! :O) So funny and sweet!

Well Done! This book was written more than a decade ago but is still one of the most relevant and thought provoking marriage books out there.  Gary covers all aspects of marriage and is great for any engaged couples to couples who have been married for 40 plus years!  My favorite yet I also see it as the most challenging of Gary's tools...asking yourself, "How can I love my spouse today like he or she has never been loved?" You will find this and many more real world applicable strategies for your marriage. The book Sacred Marriage is obviously geared toward Christian marriages but given that the divorce rate is the highest its ever been among Christian marriages, I believe its a must read! I will continue to strongly recommend it to couples who I see for therapy in my psychology practice and speaking engagements.--Dr. Nicole Caldwell, Clinical Psychologist
