As someone who is currently engaged I figured
this book could help point me in the right direction before I ever could run
into problems to begin with. “7 Secrets to an Awesome Marriage: Strengthen Your
Most Intimate Relationship” By Kim Kimberling, PhD, Craig and Amy Groeschel points
out 7 key areas in marriage that often lead to conflict and strife and how to
deal with them. Those 7 key areas (secrets)
that the book lists, that I am about to make not so secret (in my own words),
are: 1. Stop our insanities 2. Start putting God first 3. Connect with each
other 4. Fight correctly 5. Balance our time better 6. Have meaningful sex 7.
Fight together against something not against each other.
I have read many marriage, dating, and other
relationship books before this one and have heard countless pastors preach on
this topic so I was excited to receive this book and read it with my fiancé to
see what new information we can find and implement into our lives. As we were
reading though our interest kind of waned. It wasn’t that it did not contain
good advice and it wasn’t that we disagreed with anything we read but we felt
that not to much of what was written pertained to us (and not just because we
weren’t married yet). On top of that we have heard or read elsewhere everything
that this books contains so nothing here was new to us.
It was still a very good book, and we recommend it
to anyone facing difficulties in marriage or wanting to strengthen their
marriage but if you already have a solid relationship together and with God,
there wont be too much new things to take away from this book, especially if
you have read other Christian marriage/ relationship books. Thank you to
Zondervan for providing us with a copy of this book and helping us grow.
