I am going through deep crisis in my marriage, so the book was like a hot tea on a cold winter day for me. It warmed me up a bit. Here is my journey through the book. Chapter 1 - Time to rip up the score sheet "It is going to be easier to change your mindset than to change your mate". "Step 1 is to acknowledge that you are 50% of the marriage and that you have an ability to change your thoughts and actions" That's exactly what I'm doing now, reading books and educating myself on building happy and h I am going through deep crisis in my marriage, so the book was like a hot tea on a cold winter day for me. It warmed me up a bit. Here is my journey through the book. Chapter 1 - Time to rip up the score sheet "It is going to be easier to change your mindset than to change your mate". "Step 1 is to acknowledge that you are 50% of the marriage and that you have an ability to change your thoughts and actions" That's exactly what I'm doing now, reading books and educating myself on building happy and healthy marriage. Chapter 2 - Focus on what you want The most valuable part for me was an exercise of writing down 10 reasons why I want to fix my marriage. I am glad they turned to be positive reasons. It's important to develop the habit of focusing on what you DO WANT, things you want to MOVE TOWARDS, not move away. I appreciate that each chapter ends with "Things to Do Today". Chapter 3 - Is it time to unplug Absolutely true, all iPhone/Android/Tablets should be out of the bedroom! Chapter 4 - Do you need a Purple Bracelet? "Stop talking to you spouse about what they do that bothers you" Interesting idea with ordering a bracelet, I'll consider that. Chapter 5 - What's on your list? Yep, share with your spouse why you appreciate him/her (As I remember it's one of 5 love languages). "Women have a need to feel appreciated and men have a need to feel respected and admired" Chapter 6 - Laughing Yoga, Anyone? Actually, it's my strength in our marriage - creating special moments to connect and having fun together. Nothing really new for me in this chapter. Chapter 7 - Where do you crave to be touched Great chapter on sexual intimacy! Probably you should right the whole separate book on the topic ;) And TED's video was touchy as well. Chapter 8 - Pick a Chore, any Chore Isn't it that Emotional bank recording contradicts the idea of "Rip up the score sheet". Hm... It's something I am missing here. However I did enjoyed ""Things to Do Today" , especially Pick one chore from your spouse's list. It can be especially fun to pick a chore that goes against established gender stereotypes. For example, should the wife always cook an the husband mow the lawn. Chapter 9 - Do you fight fair? "Hate isn't the opposite of love, indifference is" That's about my situation, where the beach had looked peaceful and sunny before the tsunami came. Good advice about not threatening to divorce, I agree with that. Chapter 10 - Be happy anyway Well, it sound smart "Be happy anyway. Recognize that happiness is a state of consciousness, not a circumstance". I don't know how to be happy, if my soulmate is unhappy. Something, I did not get here. But I do live healthy and sleep enough. If fact I am awesome stress manager as I seldom feel depressed or annoyed. Thank you for the recommendation of "What makes love last", I added it to my wish list. Conclusion: It takes one evening to read it. The writing style is light and easy. The book has number of practical things at the end of each Chapter. I hope my marriage will be OK. I am very happy that I came across this book and bought it. Thank you! Leo Ostapiv

So I'm still going through a list of books that our pastor friend recommended to my Husband and I. At first I wasn't sure why he thought we should read this, but after reading it, I thought it was actually quite good -- even as a preventative book. Where my marriage isn't going through any sort of crisis, I thought that implementing a lot of the strategies (like throwing out score sheets etc) were very helpful and even the 21 days of not complaining was great. I like that his book was on the kin So I'm still going through a list of books that our pastor friend recommended to my Husband and I.

I like that his book was on the kindle, and even better that it was a quick, straight to the point, and easy to read. If you're already married, or about to get married, or still early in your marriage, this is definitely worth a read.

A decent book. Good advice. Not much is new here for me, but it was a good reminder of the things I've slacked on, and a good encouragement for the areas I've been working on. The advice is sound, the book is well written, and it's a quick read. A decent book. Good advice.
