An Effective, Practical and Personal Guide

This is a how 'to do' book, to help you keep saying 'I Do'. I love the way Bishop McBath uses his own experinces in a way that make the book trusting and inviting. The author made it so that anyone can read it (saved/unsaved)and made it easy to read, that anyone can apply the principles in this book to maximize their commitment to marriage. I particularly like the wisdom and insight that God gave him to place in the middle of the book (p54) "An Invitation". Members of our church, my wife and I are maximizing our marriage daily. My wife just calls me "Mr. Max". This book lives up to its title. You got to get it and use it!

A REFRESHING STRETCH!

Stretching is something I do all the time and it feels good and refreshing. This book gave me a husband stretch that I haven't experienced in a long time and awakened me too a new world of marraige. Chapter one helped me look within and evaluate my attitude as to what degree I wanted to be pleased by my wife verses wanting to please her. I'm now trying new forms of pleasure like cooking, cleaning, etc., etc.. If my wife keeps swelling my head about my cooking she may never cook again, and she would like that. I want say I'm the typical man, but chapter four's title motivated me to keep reading and it didn't let me down. Chapter four was a tool source to initiate emotional healing from past hurts and abuses, and it helped us open up and share some hurts from our past that we've never told each other. Cahpter six encouraged us to attend a marraige retreat. We attended our first one a little over amonth ago and found it refreshing. It was good to see and hear other couples sharing some of the same experiences. By going to this retreat we were encourage by a couple that is still enjoying marraige after 54 years of wedding bliss. Sometimes we do need an overhaul, we do it to our cars and air conditions. "Maximize Your Marraige" helped me to understand some of the reasons why its been hard for me as a person to say I'm sorry first and be consistent at it. I recommend this book to all married people and those who are engaged to be married. There's so much to learn in it that I'll read it over and over again to glean from the experience and wisdom of Dr. B.C. McBath. We're enjoying marraige much more. If you want your marraige to be a notch above the rest get this book and read it from cover to cover. Dr. McBath thank you for sharing your world of marraige with us. God Bless you!

Excellent Book If You Want A Wonderful, Fulfilling Marriage!

This book is one of the most poignant and practical books I have ever read related to maintaining a happy, fulfilling, and enduring marriage. In addition to helping you see how important healthy communication is, it does not mince words related to avoiding divorce, having regular sexual intimacy, apologizing when you're wrong, and other issues often avoided or glossed over by other "spiritual" books on the subject. The book offers a fresh new perspective on marriage by actually encouraging you to make pleasing your spouse and helping them fulfill their hopes and dreams your number one goal---instead of focusing on how your spouse can meet your needs. At the core of the book is an emphasis on having a strong spiritual foundation, which, according to the book's author, is the primary key to ensuring that you truly "maximize your marriage." I'd recommend the book to anyone - whether they're single and plan to be married, are newly wed, or have been married for twenty years. If you haven't already, you've got to read Maximize Your Marriage!

Building a Healthy Marriage

I just wanted to let couples, Christian or not, know that the contents revealed in this book will help the faltering, or the strong marriage, get even better. It is easy to read and the chapters are short enough to keep a mans attention. I strongly urge you to read this as a couple and then employ the concepts to your marriage. It will build you up!!
