Summary: Terrific insights into relationships
Comment: I wish this book had been written a year ago when my own "starter marriage" was falling apart. There were so many instances in the book where I could point to a passage and say, "Yep! That's us." "That's totally what happened to us too!" etc. It might have saved my marriage. But I'm glad to have read this book later rather than never. With an impressive understanding of human nature, Viorst touches upon the many delicate interrelational factors that causes strain in people's marriages as well as second (and third) marriages, and why seemingly happy couples divorce while destructive, unhappy couples stay together. This is a worthwhile, mandatory read for every couple who plans to get married or is already married or might be thinking of divorce. Do your loved ones a favor and give this book to a future bride or bridegroom as a wedding gift. It's one of the best relationship tune-ups you'll read.

Summary: Good book on marriage
Comment: In the movie "Good Will Hunting" the therapist defines soulmate as "someone who challenges you". At first I was puzzled at this definition but I soon found out what this meant by reading this book and living out my own marriage. A marriage is a constant learning experience just like life. We are challenged to change, adapt, and grow everyday and this is what really makes us mature as indivuduals as well as happy in our marriages. This book convincingly showed me that a marital relationship is a process and a neverending opportunity to mature as a human being. Yes, sometimes it seen as a place for comfort and acceptance but it is mostly a challenge, a challenge to grow. A challenge to let go of our insecurities and defenses and open up more and more as we become more and more emotionally intimate with one another. And this certainly requires growth and maturation. Overall, this is a great book that convicingly explains this process. If you are looking for more information about how to let go of our insecurities, open up to our partners and grow as human beings, I'd recommend, "Rhythm, Relationships, and Transcendence" by Toru Sato. It is also a fantastic book on relationships. You'll love it!
