This book has formulaes. It's not anything new to me, but please don't take this as a proud statement. If you have gone for enough seminars about BGR & marriage, I would think you haven't missed out anything, except that they put it in 5 points each - for both men & women.
Barbara writes to the men, on behalf of women, and Dr Gary vice versa. It's a well written book, and comes with much grace I would say. Not too heavy, easy to understand and a good switch every chapter with the authors taking turns to write their minds & experiences.
They paint a somewhat realistic picture of marriage. It's not impossible to do the things they advocate for, and they're biblical. The onus then is on the readers to apply according to their personal situations. Blind application without some measure of consideration will just harm the person and the marriage.
For an unmarried person, this is a good book to begin with, to give yourself a picture of the commitment that is expected of us to each another. Don't be afraid to read and to be challenged - the authors took many years themselves to come to this place of wisdom and grace in their own relationship. And don't stay away from relationships upon seeing the expectations. =)
Relationships are meant to be beautiful.
