review 1: The authors really meant the "war" part of the title. Their thesis is that human marriage so thoroughly reflects God's character and His plan for Christ and the Church that it MUST be at the center of Satan's attack. As such, we are not to be surprised that our marriage is warred against. The surprise, it turns out, is that so many of us don't recognize the war or fight it as such. We tend to agree with the falsehoods the enemy offers to our minds to readily and to the evermore unreliable conclusions they lead to. We then avoid areas of tension rather than praying against areas of spiritual interference, and our marriages grow perpetually weaker. This book will certainly inspire the prayer life of any couple or married individual that is paying attention t... moreo it.
review 2: As a fan of both John and Staci, I went into this book with very high expectations, and I was not disappointed. The Eldredge's write about a compelling love story that starts with marriage, in the Garden of Eden, and ends with marriage, in Revelations; the love story of God and his bride. They go on to reveal how marriage is God's gift to us, to show His love for us. Fantastic read filled with advice, conviction and freedom from our "agreements" that hold us from living out marriage the way God intended. less
