Marriage: 6 Gospel Commitments Every Couple Needs to Make Hardcover – April 20, 2021

This book is amazing. I don't care if you are engaged or been married for 20 years, you need to read this book. If you feel like your marriage is struggling, this is the book for you. Is your marriage great? This is the book for you. But be warned, it's extremely convicting, and it's going to bring you down a peg. I mean that in a good way. His stories are almost too relatable and he's diagnosis is spot on. I will say no book is a magic bullet, I'm not a perfect husband because I read this book. But it is a tool to help me be a more Godly husband. I hope you buy it and it blesses you as much as it has me. I'll read it and reread and hopefully walk with other people as they read it.

Great Book! Every couple should read this book.

Amazing book. Recommend it for anyone getting married or currently married. It will open your perspective on your marriage.

Great book. Very insightful. If you are leading a bible study on marriage or premarital classes, this is a great resource to have

My husband & I read out loud before bed dailyI appreciate all the wisdom this book gives & the easy conversation that follows.Would highly recommend

I'm no marriage expert as my own marriage is only a few years old, but I've come to learn that getting married is the easy part--building a strong, healthy marriage is much harder. In this book, Tripp refers back to six core commitments as he builds a vision for a healthy, gospel-based framework for marriage. Each of the commitments build on and intertwine with the others as the book progresses. One thing I enjoy about Tripp's books is that even though they are full of advice and wisdom, they don't revolve around a list of rules or things that you absolutely must do if you want to change an aspect of your life. He always goes back to the gospel and reminds me that I am incapable of changing my marriage on my own, that it's only through God's work in both my life and my husband's life that our marriage will grow stronger which is a freeing way to look at things.Tripp is also a good storyteller. I particularly appreciated a lot of the stories that he shared and could empathize with some of the different struggles the couples went through. If I had any criticism, it would be that I didn't find a lot of value in the bonus chapters included in this revised edition, but with how rich the rest of the book is, I didn't feel like anything was missing and I'm sure that the bonus chapters will be timely and helpful for many other people who read this book.Overall, this is a really good book on marriage. I plan on reading it again with my husband, and I will certainly be recommending this book to others.Thank you to Paul David Tripp, Crossway, and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and honestly review this book!

It great

Excellant exposition on the realities about marriage perspectives, but the authors perspective on God is Calvinist (that God causes difficulties in people's lives - which I don'tagree with). That is mostly in the opening chapters. If that offends you don't get this book.In my understanding of scripture difficulties result from sin in the world (not necessarily personal sin). However, excluding his doctrine (which can be offensive) it is excellent practical advice on marriage.
