Fabulous Read

Rick Johnson has written a great book identifing the differences in our spouse that can pull us apart if we are not aware of them. He shows the reader that working to celebrate your differences and use them as strengths in your marriage is something obtainable. He splits our differences into 7 modes for men, such as the sex and work and 7 moods of women, such as the importance of girlfriends and nesting. The reading is easy and uplifting, with practical help, words and ideas to apply to your marriage right now. I love that he points out that if you are looking for the perfect person, to bad. You will not find that person here on earth. Yet if you look at your husband or wife, God created him or her to be the one that hones you and helps you grow closer to your spouse and God if you listen and respond to God. A good read and highly recommended insight to apply to any marriage, failing or growing!

Great Marriage Foundation

I liked the easy way Rick has in explaining the differences between men and women. How they actually do make a marriage very strong. Love the 'read it together' - it is great to have many conversations around this material period!! Very enjoyable. Good chapter on sex too! Thanks for another great book.

Another Excellent book by Rick Jonhson!

What an amazing read this book was! Not only was it full of useful and insightful information for enhancing and enriching marriages, it was funny and easy to read as well! Whether you read it on your own or as a couple you will be inspired to love better. From the first page to the end, I could not put it down because I could not wait to find out more. Mr. Johnson writes as though he is sitting across from you at Starbucks sharing great Godly advice, all the while inspiring you to be the best spouse you can possibly be. He doesn't just tell you "what" you should do he tells you "how" to accomplish it by giving you so many tools to make it happen. I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone; no matter what your age, marital status, or how good or bad your relationship might be.In fact, I am giving this inspiring book to newly engaged couples so that they might start their marriages off right! Thank You Mr. Johnson for another amazing book!

Differences Can Multiply Relational Strength

Author Rick Johnson proves once again that he's not only adept at mentoring men, he's keenly aware of the dynamic differences between the sexes. In this fine book, Johnson offers men and women generous practical suggestions for rethinking and retooling their marital relationship. The author, with some humor and wit, shares what makes men uniquely male and what makes women uniquely female...and he does it so well that readers will find themselves thinking gratefully, "Mystery solved!" Johnson's text is encouraging and enlightening. Excellent resource for marrieds and singles alike. Burdens Do a Body Good: Meeting Life's Challenges With Strength and Soul
