A gradual loss of love and intimacy affects most couples, slowly eroding their marriage.
What causes the loss of love? What drives a spouse into the arms of another? What factors propel couples who once sincerely pledged their love for one another to divorce court? The common response is to blame one's spouse, but is this really true? In The Three Marriage Enigmas, Kevin Foster, MTh, reveals the hidden and insidious forces that sap marriages of love and intimacy.

Above average marital advice
Revisado: 09-30-19
I thought the advice given was pretty solid. I wish the author would have spent a little more time validating that women often have a reason for refusing to have sex with their husbands instead of just saying like he did that she needs to suck it up and give her husband what he needs to feel loved because then he’ll start loving on her more. That’s just not the case for most marriages. Plus, don’t all husbands hate duty/pity sex? I just don’t find that advice to be very helpful, and it seems to be the #1 go-to advice given by all Christian marriage counsellors. Very disappointing. Perhaps he should have spent more time teaching men how to treat their wives so that the wives WANT to have sex more with their husbands. Also, he REALLY should’ve talked more about the female orgasm and how important it is for the wife to actually orgasm in order to want to continue having sex with her husband. I feel like that topic is especially glazed over in the church. Other than those things, I found the book really helpful and enlightening. It was a good read and gave me many moments of self-reflections.

Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. While both men and women deserve both love and respect, in the midst of conflict the driving need for a woman is love and the driving need for a man is respect. When either of these needs isn’t met, things get crazy. Based on over three decades of counseling, as well as scientific and biblical research, Love and Respect is for anyone.

Tedious and one dimensional
Revisado: 04-27-19
This book could have been written in at least half, maybe even a quarter, of the words actually used. It’s poorly written, but portrays an overall okay concept of how to approach discord in marriage. The narration is decent and the author has a pleasant reading voice. However, the way the author explains his points is rather one dimensional and misses a lot of the nuances of marriage. What about marriages where one or both spouses genuinely do not want the best for their spouse? What about abuse circumstances? The advice he gives (aka always assume your spouse has the best intentions) could be extremely detrimental in those circumstances. Also, I really wish he’d developed the topic of sex more, because to me, it sounded an awful lot like sex in marriage is for the husband’s sexual release and the wife is to love her husband with her body but he is not required to do the same for her. How sad and one-sided. If couples follow that advice, they are missing out on SO much of what God intended sex to be.
