There are a lot of topics covered in these pages: showing honor/respect, understanding gender differences, communication, connecting spiritually, sex, resolving conflict/anger, forgiveness, and perspective. For someone who does not read much on marriage, this book touches on many important topics and may be very beneficial. However, I have read many marriage books. In order to keep my interest I need information to be presented in an engaging way - helping me to look at things from a different angle. I had a hard time staying focused because this book just seemed to summarize things I'd already read in other sources.
One theme that can be found throughout the book is that in order to create a better marriage, a woman needs to start with the one thing she can change - herself! In all of the "keys" mentioned, the authors talk about how a woman can apply the topic to herself, how she can help her husband, and finally how it impacts the marriage as a whole.
This book is a collaborative effort, written by a married couple (Erin & Greg), and Greg's father, Gary. The benefit of having multiple authors is being able to present a variety of perspectives. However, this got to be very confusing for me. I like to know who is writing. While the authors tried to indicate which person was writing, there were many times I wasn't sure. I would have preferred reading a book from Erin alone (seeing as she is the only wife out of the bunch).
Even though I didn't connect well with this book, it does contain some great information over many topics that impact marriages. Give it a try - it might be right for you :)
