 Timeless Wisdom for Marriages of All Seasons
I pulled this book off my shelf looking for wise words for an engaged friend at her wedding shower. I was blown away by the depth, wisdom and transparency of Wangerin. How I got the book or why I'd not yet read it, I don't know. Wangerin has been one of my favorite authors, and he does not disappoint in this book, offering marriage tools that are nothing like the self-help tips of other books in this class. His words are born from experience and a mixture of both pain and joy in marriage. He speaks as a pastor, a friend and counselor, offering priestly wisdom to marriages that are struggling or doing well. Every marriage can benefit from this Christ-centered model of forgiveness, repentance and long-suffering love. The book would make a great study book for small groups or a weekend marriage retreat and includes study questions and retreat suggestions. I wish I'd read it early in my marriage, but I'm grateful I read it 15 years in; perhaps with some years behind us, I can appreciate more what is behind the wisdom Wangerin shares. I heartily recommend to every couple at any stage.
Marriage Guide
This books presents a number of "tasks" that face every marriage and examines ways to handle and resolve problems that arise around each task. The author is generous in sharing his own experiences and those of people he has counselled. He presents this material from a Christian perspective and view of life, including the topics of sin and forgiveness. I feel this is an excellent guide for marriage and I wish I had found this book earlier in my marriage. Even those who don't agree with the information about sin might find the chapters on forgiveness and tasks very helpful.

amazing book
so many wonderful things to say i'm not sure where to start. definitely a must have for every couple regardless of how many years you've been married (whether 2 or 20). very well written. nice to hear his own stories/issues that he and his wife had to deal with. very in depth information on marriage and the break down of communication, division of labor etc. wonderfully done topics, wonderfully laid out. very understandable. not over your head information. all his concepts are biblically based. with christ at the center of your marriage you can over come the hard times and thrive in the good times.
 Helpful and encouraging
I recommend this book. It has some great illustrations and is full of practical advice for any couple who wants to strengthen their marriage.
 Lots of good advice coupled with some terrible advice
My husband and I read this book for a bible study class and I really liked what I read. However, there were some chapters that were left out which I later read on my own. Of some of the terrible advice in this book, Wangerin advises cheating spouses, rather than confess to their spouse, to confess to a responsible, trustworthy Christian, in order to save the spouse from hurt. Also, he advises spouses who are beaten by their spouses to give their spouses several chances to stop abusing before kicking them out. Even then, he advises them to still give them another chance.
