That is when God laid it on my heart to seek out what it meant to be a godly wife, and start fixing our brand new marriage by starting with my own self first.

Best marriage book after many good books

My wife and I have read many good books on marriage. This has been the best for us and the most biblically insightful. It encourages a practical out working of biblical principles because in nails the roles and responsibilities of the sexes so well. The teaching on abdication and the role of man towards the task/plow and wife towards the man have been very helpful in our marriage.

Paperback

One of the best books on marriage

I feel like this kinda of literature isn’t broad
The common instruct on marriage that I’ve learn didn’t have much meat.
When reading this book I felt like it was untouched recourses just waiting to be tapped into.
Very thankful

Paperback

God's design

This book remains superior in its exhortation to husbands toward efficacious love in imitation of Christ's love on the cross vs. the modern church's emphasis of the inefficacious "sentiment of Christ's love" (p. 148). Its countercultural exhortation to wives toward their God-given roles as helpers and respecters of their husbands to whom God has given the covenantal responsibility for their households is most needed today. Doug Wilson speaks plainly and effectively on what this looks like so that even if a couple is not there yet, each spouse can see the marriage-path toward glorifying God laid out in His Word. When we line ourselves up with God's design, the power of the cross is effective! We need this straight talk.

Reforming Marriage

My husband and I both read this book and absolutley loved it. We have been married for almost 28 years and we have never found a resource that opened our eyes to biblical marriage than this book. We are now reading through it again together, one chapter at a time at night and then we discuss. I highly reccomend this book no matter what stage you are in your marriage. I’ve recommended it to my 19 yr old to read so they have a mindset of what biblical marriage is. I wish this had a study guide because as part of our church’s marriage ministry team, we’d love to teach this in a small group.

Paperback

Really challenging but so sweet!

My husband and I listened to this together on the Canon app, then bought a hard copy for a family member. This book applies scripture to marriage in a way that challenges me to consider whether I’m willing to take God’s words seriously. The Lord has blessed us with joy as we have learned to live by these principles. Our pastor loves this book and so do we!

The best marriage book

This is hands down the best marriage book my husband and I have ever read. I wish we had known about it years ago when we were newly married. I’m thankful that God is using it to bless our marriage 12 years later and we have recommend this book to several other couples in our church.

Love Reforming Marriage!

Since I read this book, I've bought several! I'm giving them to every young couple I know planning to get married! I wish I'd read it before I married years ago, but man, it's powerful and mighty and will change marriages. Stronger Godly marriages will change the world!

Paperback

Great gift for an engaged couple!

I read this book with my husband as part of our pre-marriage preparation. I also just purchased it for someone who is newly engaged. I highly recommend this book for any engaged or married couples!

First Things First

Most counselors place special emphasis on a lack of communicating skills as the reason most couples struggle with their marriage. However, that is like starting in on the middle of the page. The book itself places blame on the couples lack of understanding the roles of the husband and wife. As you begin to read, it is obvious a proper understanding of the roles must occupy first place if the marriage is to survive. The writer places special emphasis on the role of the husband as does the Word of God. Once a counselor starts at the beginning, as God does, the marriage begins to flourish. May I suggest that all of Christianity is struggling today because believers are starting in on the middle of the page and never build a proper foundation.
