My Review:
 Marriage isn't easy and if someone tells you that it is then they are indeed mistaken. I have been married to the love of my life for 20 years and yes it has seen its share of struggles. But as even I have had to learn, a great marriage begins with God at its center and with accessing my own attitude&trying constantly to keep it in check.

 Gary Chapman, the author shows us that even though a good, solid, strong marriage is hard to come by these days it very well can be achieved. But only with diligence, perseverance, and above all with God at the heart of it. He uses the verses in Matthew 7:1-5 as a base for this teaching. This was where Jesus spoke about judging others and how we should remove the plank from our own eye before we judge the speck in our partners eye.

 The author has done an outstanding job as always to approach marriage from the standpoint it was intended, from a Biblical one. If you would like to win a copy of The Marriage You've Always Wanted, please enter below.
