This book has some interesting sociological comments on modern culture, but lacks substance and follow through on the 'advice' presented. I would not recommend this book to a couple looking to strengthen their marriage. ( )

The book offers some good pointers scattered throughout the short chapters, but it drags on a bit. Also, it discusses "The Internet" as if the Internet were some kind of foreign entity that forces people to do its will. It's almost not worth mentioning that the book is heterocentrist (the title does include the word "Married"), but on top of that, the authors assume that men cheat and women don't and that porn is something that only men consume while feeling alone and guiltily so. All of that isn't so surprising when you get towards the end of the book and the authors start waxing poetic on how believing in the Christian god is some sort of amazing and scary challenge for only the brave, just like how they think marriage is. If I wanted a Christian book, I would have gotten an explicitly religious one, not one that does not denote itself as such; furthermore, in a society dominated by the religious and where atheists are the least trusted minority despite evidence that we commit far fewer crimes than religious people, it's far scarier to be an atheist than a mainstream Christian theist. If there were a Jesus fish on the cover of this book or some similar sort of warning, then this book would have escaped my negative review and low rating, but as it stands, I wish I hadn't wasted my time on it.
