Customer Reviews

A must read for anyone seeking an honest look at having a fulfilling relationship

Scott Stanley is an incredible researcher and writer, this book does not disappoint. If you read "Fighting for you Marriage" this book is just as jam-packed with usable information. There is a lot of solid research to back up his propositions, but the book is written in a way that anyone could understand.

Commitment is the Key to Marriage Success

I believe that this book is must reading for people who are starting to get involved in a relationship. The dismal success rate for marriages in this country is related to the lack of commitment. The author calls this the "Maybe I do" generation. People don't make commimtment and don't even plan to make a commitment. I have given copies of this book to two young couples who will be getting married in the next twelve months.
