Every Man's Marriage: An Every Man's Guide to Winning ... (ISBN 1578567157)

fantastic:
I think this book is a must read for any man trying to make his marriage a happy one. I saw myself in several of the examples they provided. I wish I had been provided this book when I was first married. It would have helped me to better understand the innate differences between men and women. And I would have been a better communicator and helpmate.

Read this even if you're not married:
I have currently been dating my girlfriend for over 4 months. Having made dating mistakes in the past i've made sure i've committed this relationship fully to God, making Him the center of everything. And it's been such a blessing and learning experience. I bought this book along with other books on relationships. I read this soon after i read "every man's battle" which i highly recommend as well (it expands on some of the things touched upon in Every Man's Marriage). This book drove home a lesson that God has been teaching me throughout my new relationship, which is to grow a servant's heart. Each woman wants one thing in life, and that is to be loved and know they are loved by their husband. How do they feel loved? By us consciously showing it through our actions. For a guy, it makes total sense to just say "i love you" and expect our mates to know we mean it. I've learned time and time again that those words are not enough. It's up to the man to serve his wife and to submit all he is to making her know that she is loved and they are one. If she knows this, she will return her respect and submit to your leadership in the relationship. Romans 14:13-23 is the bedrock to this whole idea and this book. If we put a stumbling block in the way of our wives feeling at one with us, we are not acting in love. We are to love them as Christ loves the church, in essence, lay down our lives for them. this book was great. and has lots of examples of other men's triumphs and failings we can all relate to. I highly recommend this book as a learning tool and a challenge to every man to live life devoted to God and our mates.

Good book for Christian men:
A good book for Christian men, perhaps for couples to read together. I felt that while most of the front chapters outlined and emphasized the need for men to "submit" for the sake of oneness in marriage, the latter chapter emphasized too much on oneness in sex. It became like we men are doing all these to achieve oneness in marriage so that we can have blissful sex. Also, the 2nd last chapter of the "letter to women" talked about men's need for sex again. Shouldn't Christian men have more than just sex in their minds? I agree with some of the reviewers (especially that 1, 2-stars reviewers) that the book may have given a stereotypical view of women, ie, they are demure, submissive, "need men", etc. I can see why they are upset, but the authors are painting a picture of what God intended for men and women to be... ie, Men to love their women, and women submit to their men.

Every Mans Marriage:
This book is amazing it will give you a whole new outlook on marriage,and if you are struggling with yours i would strongly recomend it. This book s is a book that really uses God's word a lot. The author is constantly backing up what he says with scripture. Its a great book to give you a new outlook on how as men we should treat our spouses. And even if your not married this book is still an amazing read...

A Great Book for Husbands - Buy It, Read It, and Pass It On!:
I recently finished reading Every Man's Marriage and my synopsis is "Wow!" I have been married for almost 25 years and I thought I was a pretty good husband. Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker "schooled" me on things that I had never considered or thought out. Both authors do a great job of making this a compelling read and keeping your attention, even if you are easily distracted. I have read Every Man's Battle: Winning the War on Sexual Temptation One Victory at a Time (The Every Man Series) and I appreciated how both authors shared personal experiences. They continue with that same transparency in this book. Every Man's Marriage has altered my thinking on a number of marriage issues. The theme of "oneness" is easy to pick up on as you are reading the book and makes an impact on how you think about every aspect of your relationship with your wife. I plan to buy a copy for each of my sons to read when they start thinking about marriage.
