Hmmm....

Heads up, this book is supposed to be accompanied by several workbooks. You’ll soon find out, though because half of this book is just the authors referencing and trying to sell those workbooks. But don’t worry, they’ll give you a code for $5 off it on their website.
I know the authors say they did extensive research before writing this book, but it is hard to take second marriage advise from people who have not been through a first marriage coming apart. Especially when their book seems like they just paraphrased their first book (saving your marriage...) and inserted 2nd into the advice.
I don’t know if the authors are truly trained psychologists or just self proclaimed counselors that feel qualified because they “know the Bible.” At one point the wife narrator says “if you are depressed, it’s not your spouse’s fault, it’s because you CHOSE to be depressed”. Who chooses to be depressed? Where in the mental health textbooks do they teach that depression is a choice? Can I choose to not be depressed and magically feel all better?, because that would be great. While I agree that you shouldn’t blame depression on your spouse and think that if they would just change or go away your depression would be cured, but depression is not a choice.
The book is a pretty typical Christian based marriage book. It does not dig deep, nor get into the nitty gritty of abuse or the really deep tragic stuff that can make or break a marriage.
One thing I will say, though that is positive is they don’t preach: wifely respect and submission to their husbands.; which can be pretty standard from Christian marriage books. In fact they go a different direction and talk about how much women need respect. That was really cool. Also the back and forth narration by the two authors was good and made for easy listening.

Are the complications of second marriage threatening the foundations of your relationship? Pick up this powerful guide for restoring your love. We all long for love and connection, but outside influences, past memories, and stepfamily adjustment make marriage especially challenging for those who were previously married.

A gritty look at second marriage from someone who has been there
Revisado: 10-13-20
Finally, a marriage book from someone who has been there. The author has been through hard times. Other marriage books focus on the silly “who left the toilet seat up” arguments as if those are the biggest issues a marriage will have. She acknowledges that some things are make or break for marriages and even that the first two years can be the hardest for couples. This is very different from other marriage books, especially Christian ones. The religious base is very well done, she shares her faith in a non-preachy way and offers practical advice that sounds like it comes from experts not just self-proclaimed “biblical counselors”. Non-Christians and Christians alike will get something out of this book.
Criticism would be that I wanted more. More stories to relate to the topic and more advise on how to handle issues. It seemed to just gloss the surface of topics before going into the exorcises from the workbook that apparently is supposed to accompany the book. The good news is, that, unlike some other books in this genre, the workbook is free, and she does not spend half the time trying to sell it. The narrator seemed a bit detached and her reading style was a bit monotone for my taste. Overall, I was happy with this book.
