Real Marriage is For Real

Mark and Grace Driscoll have graciously stepped into the ring and turned the spotlight on their own marriage in order to minister to the untold number of couples who are currently need in of some straight talk about real marriage. I have been married for thirty years and have read quite a few marriage books in that time. I have never read a book that has been as open and honest as this one. Mark and Grace don't have a perfect marriage, but it is better than it was, and they willingly discuss the biblical principles that have helped them.
I found this book to be great biblically based marriage advice. Others may feel it is a little "TMI"(too much information) concerning the sexual aspect of marriage. I would urge those who feel that way to remember that God created sex for marriage and our society does just about everything possible to ruin this beautiful gift. The only way that Christians can reclaim this beautiful gift is by understanding what the Bible teaches.
This is a good book for those considering marriage or for those who have been married for a while. I think that many marriages would take a turn for the better if couples would seriously consider the advice in this book.
I received this book for free as part of a book review program in exchange for giving my honest opinion.
