Real Marriage The Truth About Sex, Friendship, & Life Together by Mark and Grace Driscoll


This book has been an absolute pleasure to read. Real Marriage The Truth About Sex, Friendship, & Life Together by Mark and Grace Driscoll has truly been a one of a kind book to read. Although this book is geared toward married couples, I (a single male) have nonetheless found this book to be incredibly valuable in the way I view marriage and how I should act in my relationships.
Real Marriage addresses those topics that few, if anyone dare to touch on. Topics that I find relevant to all couples, and can see myself having questions about in my marriage. It’s hard, if not embarrassing, to go to your pastor and ask them about masturbation or oral sex, well this book address those and many other topics.

I have read a number of books on relationships but this has got to be one of the most helpful in my growth and understanding of what it means to be a God centered boyfriend and husband and how to repair broken relationships. Real Love also makes valuable points on the pitfalls that we must watch out for.

All that I mentioned above is great, but the cherry on top for me was the fact that Real Love was so biblically oriented and uses the bible to support their points. Highly recommended book for singles, dating, and married couples – you will need this information at one point or another!

This book has also gotten great reviews from:
Pastor and author Andy Stanley, Dr. James McDonald, and many other world-renowned pastors as well as relationship experts Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott.
This book has been provided to me by Thomas Nelson for an honest review. All the opinions expressed are my honest thoughts.
