Incredibly Helpful Marriage Book

By now Swindoll is a little larger than life. His powerful sermons and insightful books have influenced an entire generation of Christ-followers. But in this little known early work he offers timeless advice that stands up 16 years later. In fact I consider his chapter on "Fighting Fair" to be the best advice I've ever heard, seen or read on how to manage conflict in a God-honoring way. Great stuff!

A must read

This book should be read by couples with problems as well as those who think they are doing fine. It is a must read for newlywed couples.

This is the most helpful book I have read on marriage.

I have quoted from Charles Swindoll's Strike the Original Match Published by Multnomah Press 1980, Pages 19, 22 in a book I've written, ready to be published in a few weeks. How and whom do I contact to gain permission to use these quotes? Thank you for your help.

Caution! This book will transform your marriage!

This book is packed with so much excellent advice! The best thing about it is it's source - our main Handbook for Life, the Bible. This book gives us the practical applications for the principles that God has given us in His Word, so that we can experience His best for us. I've heard so many people wish for an instruction book when encountering one of life's biggest or most important experiences, and I can heartily recommend this book as an excellent instruction book for having success in your marriage experience. It is as simple as putting the principles to work with a sincere, whole heart. Study it - chapter by chapter, alone or with your spouse - and let your marriage be transformed!
