A Must Read Book for Young Couples October 19, 2013

This well written book should be read by every young couple contemplating marriage. This is the best marriage manual ever written. I would recommend the book not only for young couples, but also for newlyweds or anyone who wants to strengthen their marriage. I wish I had read this book many years ago. From calamity to cash to challenges, this book covers every issue a married couple might face. In spite of changes, couples always...Read More

This well written book should be read by every young couple contemplating marriage. This is the best marriage manual ever written. I would recommend the book not only for young couples, but also for newlyweds or anyone who wants to strengthen their marriage. I wish I had read this book many years ago. From calamity to cash to challenges, this book covers every issue a married couple might face. In spite of changes, couples always need to remember that marriage is "for better or for worse". Love is patient, and true love never gives up. Chivalry is not dead (although it seems that way many times). It was refreshing to read that "marriage is between a man and a woman". I especially liked the chapter on clemency, going the extra mile and the need to get rid of clutter, both mental clutter and physical clutter. No one just falls out of love. The author has a good understanding of women, what makes them tick, and what they are looking for in a marriage. Many men don't "get it". This book would be an appropriate wedding gift for young couples.

Thomas Baker reviewed C Through Marriage Extraordinary Book: Promotes Reflection November 13, 2013 C Through Marriage' by Author Jim Hughes is an extraordinary book that promotes reflection on marriage for couples or future married couples. I liked that its message is supported by holy scripture. "C Through Marriage" is written using scenarios which could easily be real if they were not hypotheticals. The intention is to exemplify what God intended marriage to be like. Thus, a point of reference is given for the reader to compare and contrast your own reality with. In my case, I found this book to be a must-read for every married couple, especially if your marriage does not need help. In my opinion, that's the best time to read this book, but if your marriage is not everything you want it to be, this book will be a source of inspiration for you. I most enthusiastically recommend this book. I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Five Stars And Thumbs Up For This Much Needed Book For Married Couples November 20, 2013

This book is so thorough on the needs of marriage. Jim Hughes' insight about marriage can benefit husbands and wives alike.

This book is so thorough on the needs of marriage. Jim Hughes' insight about marriage can benefit husbands and wives alike. His views are so balanced, not placing more accountability on men than women or women than men. It's so refreshing to find a read like this. And there are other good books out there like this. But as a wife, I find that there aren't enough marriage books that examine the hearts and needs of a woman in the same regard as they are examined for the husbands. Well, this book does that - while remaining Biblical. I appreciate this author's diligence in validating the unspoken issues that can too often plague a marriage.

This is actually formatted for private devotion as well as for couples' group devotions. The chapters, which are all very relevant and essential discussion points, takes readers through lessons of reality and encouragement. As a lengthy book, it serves as a timely read. I'd recommend it, not only as a excellent read for couples (preferably as devotion together), but also as a much needed reference. Couples who could greatly benefit, learn, mature, and especially develop self-examination through reading C Through Marriage would be those who are in troubled marriages (even in crises), engaged couples, and even happily married couples. Keep it. Shelve it. Refer back to it. And by all means, tell other couples about it.

Now, I have to go back and re-read it out loud with my husband.
