A Lasting Promise: A Christian Guide to Fighting for Your Marriage is an excellent book for those considering marriage or already married.  The authors of this book present a very Biblical view of marriage alongside practical advice supported by clinical research.  While the credentials of the authors might indicate a more cerebral work, this book is very approachable and helpful for any married couple.  This book is not heavy on theory or philosophy but on reality and practice.  As soon as you pick this up you can start using it and applying it in your home.

This book is broken down into good sized chapters which focus on real needs couples have.  There are exercises in this book for a couple to practice.  Reading this book and following along its prescribed exercises is like going to a counselor and doing their homework.  While this book is definitely not a cure-all nor a substitute for counseling, a couple who practices the principles and techniques in this book will find it a great benefit.

Couples who need a tune-up in their relationship should read this.  Couples who are having conflict should read this.  Husband and wife should each read a chapter a day and then go through the practice portion together.  Doing so will greatly enhance anyone’s marriage.  I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for help in their marriage or looking to give help to those who are married, you won’t be disappointed.-
