I received a copy
of this book from the authors through a giveaway on LibraryThing and the
following is my honest opinion for it.
Unlike most books
on this subject which have been written either by a man or a woman, David and
Elizabeth Lewis, a husband and a wife, have joined forces to write about their
own experiences and to share it with others.
One of the things
which have played a vital part in their experience is their equal religious
beliefs in G-d; which can be seen as they’re continuously using appropriate quotes
from the bible and relating them to the aspect they’re writing about.
As can be seen by
the table of contents the book is divided into two segments, the Female’s
Perspective and the Male’s Perspective. They’re each then followed by an
introduction which deals with how society and sexes look at relationships and
marriage. This is this is then followed with questions each sex should be
asking themselves before walking down the aisle and entering into the bounds of
matrimony.
I read this book
twice; first with reading the biblical quotations and then skipping over them.
What I found is that even without them this book still gives simple sound
advice we all need to listen to before having to answer those “I DOs.”
Without being
disrespectful to the book’s authors, touting the religious aspects of this book,
I believe, diminishes the possible audience this book can actually get.
In the end, I’m
left debating whether I should give this book 4 or 5 STARS. But since I need to
look at the precise audience these authors have written the book for, I’m accordingly
giving it 5 STARS.
