  • "The Four Seasons of Marriage is an insightful look at marriage and relationships from a Christian perspective. It is not overly religious or "preachy," but it is rooted in scripture as well as psychology. The analogies seem apt, and the strategies outlined for enhancing any marriage appear quite sound. This is a very well-written book...and it made an excellent Valentine's Day read!"

      " I picked up this book during the Amazon.com $.99-$2.99 sale recently, and thought it might be interesting, particularly given its many good reviews. I had no idea at the time that it was a Christianity-based guide to marriage, so imagine my shock at the first reference to Satan entering a couple's relationship! That worldview pervades the book, so if you're a Christian, this may be the marriage book for you. While many of the overarching concepts are certainly applicable to any marriage, I found the references to religion difficult to relate to as a non-believer. "

      " I read this book because I see so many marriages falling apart around me. I thought this was a very good look into the ever-changing seasons of a marriage. I will read it again when I can apply the principals to my marriage, but for now I can apply them to all of my other relationships. "
