I loved this book. It hit home.... I could relate with so much of this couples story, especially the first scene in the book. I love books that explain real life, with kids, jobs, dogs, problems, cellulite, etc... The only thing that bothered me with this story was the writing style, but the story has stuck with me for days.

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!

This is an excellent book for married couples to read. The 7 strategies shared to keep your marriage in or bring your marriage back to a healthy, positive one are great!  I highly recomend this book.

This book was truly a road map and a must read for every married couple! I have learned not to play the blame game! It's the Woman You Gave me open our eyes to God's purpose for our marriage! Thanks Shon Hyneman!

I was blessed to come across this book and would highly recommend it. Jennifer acknowledges the realness of the emotions a wife might be going through, but directs us to focus on God,  His word and promises instead of the emotions that could ruin us. I love the scripture references and the prayer prompts where a wife can learn to write out  prayers of her own using scripture. God's word is active and living! He said it will not return void but accomplish what He sent it to do! I encourage wives to get this book and began to pray the word of God over themselves, their husbands and family and trust God to do His word no matter what you may see in the natural, know that He is working!

"Wedding Sanity Savers" is a must read for anybody who is planning a wedding or needs an engagement or shower gift.  I've read it and am recommending it all new brides who need to get through everything from pre-wedding jitters to dealing with divorced parents, money and those testy bridesmaids.  In fact, last week I saw Dr. Atkins, one of the co-authors, on the Today show talking about in-laws. I wish this book had been around when I was getting married!

This book is amazing. Without twisting scripture as so many so-called "marriage" books are apt to do today, this book uses Biblical truth to encourage you to do your part in your marriage. This book really taught me that marriage is not 50%-50%, but requires 100% on my part no matter how much my husband is putting in to it. And in putting in my 100%, one of the blessings is that my husband wants to do his share as well! I can't recommend this book enough. It's my go-to wedding gift.

For the naysayers, I think if you are looking for a book that's not the Bible to give you all of the answers you will be sadly disappointed. Of course the book is written by a person, and that person has a perspective - for example, if your husband cheats on you, yes you can leave. But having an eternal perspective of your marriage and working things out could benefit not only your husband, and not only your kids, but YOU! This book cannot force you to do anything, but points out that God hates divorce - which really means that divorce is very serious and we should all view it as such.

This book has helped me to be a better wife, a better mom, and to get closer to God. I am so thankful for the Pearl's ministry and writings. If not for them, I fear I would have remained blind to God's words for me and been divorced years ago. Instead, I have a happy family, a happy husband, and I am one happy woman! This book really taught me not to be selfish, which, while you would think that is an easy concept to grasp, was very difficult for me. I hope every woman who reads this book is as blessed as I am.

This book is amazing! Definitely worth the purchase and I actually just bought 9 more copies so I can give them to friends and family who are getting married, already are, or someday will be married. I got it in the mail yesterday with the two day shipping which was awesome and read through it in one sitting already to get a full gist of it. It has only biblical principles and as I can see and understand will only help encourage your wife and give even more life to your marriage. Might I say too, numbers 98, 99, and 100 are key, but really so are all the rest. You won't find what is in this book in a lot of others, and the way that this book makes it all so simple, not just seem but clearly how truly simple it all is, is definitely worth the buy. I would recommend this book to all men, current husbands, but even more so for husbands to be so that they can rightfully learn how to cherish and love the woman God gives them and begin that journey before they even do get married. God has blessed this book I believe and I know will use it and the principles within it to enhance the marriage I will have with my future wife. I'm grateful for this book and check out the website husbandrevolution.com if you want to see more great stuff too. But get the book!! You'll be grateful you did :)

Women need to read this book.  More married couples need to have this book in their library. It has opened my eyes to certain issues and questions about marital relationships. This book is not afraid to hit all the questions most Christians don't ask or even know to ask.  I would recommend it to other married women.

My son's girlfriend asked him to read this book, I kept sneaking it from his room to read, it was so good. I am now reading it to my husband and we've been married almost 30 years! It sheds light on so many issues we've experienced firsthand. I reccomend this book to any single or married person who wants to better understand God's plan for healthy, beautiful intimacy in marriage...its never too late!

I LOVE this book!!! I bought it for my now sister in-law when she got married for a bridal shower gift. I read half the book before I gave it to her and fell in love so I got it at the library to read the rest. I plan to buy it for myself when I get a chance.

The author has a very sweet and realistic sense of humor as well as a lot of great incite. She is very Christian based and quotes scriptures in this book but I think that's awesome even though my beliefs are alittle different. She also isn't affraid to tell it how it is.

This book is aimed at newlyweds but was a great eye opener and reminder to me who has been married for over a year. I thought our marriage and sex life was already perfect, but after reading this book it got even better! This book helps you realize how precious intimacy really is and that to your husband it can be how he feels loved and in my case it was. I definitely looked at not being in the mood differently after reading this book.

I will recommend this book to anyone getting married!

I was fortunate enough to receive an Advanced Copy of this book. This is an AMAZING book that's raw, emotional and relatable. Jeff and Alyssa cover an array of relatable issues found in love, dating, marriage and sex. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every chapter prefaced by a song title. I'm a Wedding DJ and love being a part of a couple's big day! I also enjoyed how Jeff and Alyssa took turns writing a chapter. It felt like I was having a conversation with you. My fianc and I have a blended family and finding balance is a lot of work. I realized while reading this book that we have been stagnant for a long time. You know, "going through the motions." I've found that we're a team and in this for the long run. I used to say that we're never going to get married. It boiled down to finances and the impact it would have on taxes. My mindset has changed from never to when we get married. I felt called to purchase the 31 Ways to Love and Encourage bundle. We're both reading and practicing those principles. If you're in any kind relationship, read this book. It's helped transform me into the man I am today and becoming. (less)

I loved reading Amanda Beth's book. It's a blessing and I plan on reading it again when I'm done with a couple other books. Her guidance and Bible shared through out the whole book encouraged me in my relationship with my husband. When I got to the part about divorce, what she had to say was so different from the its okay to divorce and get remarried Christian mentality that's out there today! I was so excited to share it with a family member who is having marital problems. I'm sure it will bless her immensely because she desires to follow the Lord in all matters and I think this will give her a foundation that will really strengthen her resolve and trust in the Lord for her husband and her marriage. So thankful for how it has helped my attitude and heart in my marriage too and my walk with the Lord! Truly blessed and thankful I found this book!

This book has jump started my marriage. As newlyweds, there was so many issues going into a sexual relationship and this book has helped my husband and I TREMENDOUSLY! We are comfortable and it got us talking about a lot of things that we thought we had handled but really needed to address more. Anyone who has remained pure in any fashion until marriage has to read this book in order to unveil what God has in store for your intimate relationship  in marriage.

Just to give perspective, I have read or listened to many dating and marriage books and one thing I really appreciate about Debra Fileta is that she discusses topics in a very balanced and full pictured way. I loved reading her book True Love Dates and was excited to hear that she was coming out with Choosing Marriage. Even though I am not married yet, I was convicted of different issues I see in my life and was encouraged to discover them and start dealing with them now instead of after getting married. This book goes to the core and helps discover heart issues that need to be healed to have a healthy and thriving marriage as well as talking through the misconceptions we often have of marriage and the actual reality of day-to-day life once married. Marriage really is about making many choices of loving another even when you don't feel like it and also learning to discuss both of your needs with each other so you can both meet those needs in a balanced and healthy way. Both partners need to be on the same page and choose marriage. Very well written book! I will definitely add this to my books to re-listen to (I bought the Audiobook version) and would definitely recommend this to married couples, those who are dating, and singles.
