Book Review: Love And War by John and Stasi Eldredge
Love and War: Finding the Marriage You’ve Dreamed Of by John Eldredge
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
John and Stasi Eldredge have written a very good book here.
With amazing transparency, wisdom, and painful reflection on their own lives they give us much needed direction.
Marriage is not only about love. There is the need for a commitment to loving and cleaving to each other. For a couple to truly make it and have a happy marriage, they will have to fight. We must war for good marriage.
Sadly, too many approach marriage with a romantic sort of story book mentality and then give up when the going gets rough, or they settle into a marriage of commitment without joy. The Eldredges call for us to settle for nothing but a great marriage, and they call for us to fight for it.
They tell us their own story and also tell us how they battled (and still battle) for a good marriage.
Money, looks, temptation, sex, the past, and more are addressed in a very easy to read manner.
Touching, convicting, humorous, and Biblical, LOVE AND WAR is a book to read if one is desirous of a good marriage.
