Outdated but still applicable

Revisado: 02-02-25

I will probably have to buy the 3rd edition of this book (this one is the version published in 2002 - the year I graduated from high school!) and while a lot has changed about social dynamics (to put it mildly) I do see how the topics discussed still play out.

I'm glad I listened to the audio book because I don't have a lot of time to sit and read books cover to cover, and now if I get my hands on a physical copy of the new version, I can easily find the sections I need at any given time.

Important to read

Revisado: 08-06-24

This isn't a fun book by any stretch of the imagination, but it's important. I think I'm going to have my siblings all read this too, even though it will hopefully be a long time before we need to put it to use. the steps lined out are very sensible and well-organized, in addition to being full of compassion.

Honest, raw, funny, heartbreaking, inspiring.

If you're tired of only hearing the socially acceptable versions of what marriage is like and how people have managed to stay together, this is for you.

If you're very sensitive to mild profanity, it's not for you.

I laughed out loud a lot during this book, and wept a few times too. It's an equally ugly and beautiful look into a marriage, and the power of community support or the lack thereof.

This book challengeda lot of my subconscious beliefs about God and changed the way I pray. I need to read through the physical book now and highlight and take notes.

A welcome and needed perspective

Revisado: 05-09-23

This book was not only informative, but inspiring. I've been wrestling with how to find a balance between truth and love for the sake of someone who I love very dearly and is struggling with gender questions. I appreciate that this book addresses the many nuances and always points back to what's most important: connecting with the individual person in a way that shows God's love and makes them feel valued.

A sweet story

It started out a little slow for me, but by the second half I found myself trying to steal away to listen to more.

Wonderful

Possibly the most touching story I've ever read (or heard) It's funny at times without trying too hard, and JK Simmons is the perfect choice for narrator.
