Overview
Marriage is not just about two people. It involves our parents and our past - the experiences that play roles in our emotional health and the way we interact, or fail to, with one another. To determine our emotional health and that of our spouse strengthens our marriage. To fail to do so brings destruction and pain.
In this compelling, one-of-a-kind series, Jimmy Evans draws on his own experience of counseling couples over the past 20 years to give you sound, practical advice for "Building an Emotionally Healthy Marriage".

Discover how to set realistic expectations in your marriage - how to meet the needs of your spouse and work through issues together, instead of against one another.
Find out how to determine emotional trouble spots in your marriage and how to deal with them.
Hear how to create an atmosphere of emotional openness in your marriage - how to have the best marriage in the world.

Great Series!

If you haven't invited Christ into your marriage - then this series isn't for you. This is a biblical based marriage course. When we got saved and christ entered our marriage, a lot of what they talk about in this series came to light and we ended up in counseling separately. (and got a healed marriage) There are four CD's, all different teachings - all great. The third one, emotional baggage is the most powerful one, if you get this book - you could listen to that one independantly of the others if you want. It talks about six ways that marriages begin to crumble and all of them are true! This series gives a good practical, biblical identification of the real issues marriages face. The last CD is the "signs of a healthy marriage" one and it's written for people who have already dealt through issues mentioned in the 3rd CD. If your marriage is made up of you, your spouse and Jesus Christ - then this book is great! I really enjoyed it!
Building an Emotionally Healthy Marriage

This book started out with some very good information; i.e.: taking responsibility for your actions; HOWEVER, it very quickly detoured into a "bible-thumping" book that totally turned me off, and any good advice was lost in the wake of "the holy spirit"! I would not recommend this to people in general that are interested in realistic solutions to everyday issues in relationships.

I felt like I was being preached to. I was interested in my marriage, not going to church.

very helpful not just only toward healthy marriage, but also toward life in general.
Great Insights
Written by Mrs. Morgan in Az on January 28th, 2007
- Book Rating: 4/5
I found this book to have MANY great insights. It is strongly religious and spiritual so if you listen to it be aware. I did not share some of the same religious beliefs but the insights were still interesting and easy to understand. I gleaned a lot of great wisdom from it and some really great tips that were well thought out. As in most marriage counseling and help books, you try what sounds like it will work, take the advice that inspires you, and try as much of it out until you find what works. There is no ONE right way to do anything. This book does have some good advice and it is worth listening too.

I didn't realise this would be a Bible-based program. I'm so glad I didn't turn it off right away. I found the speaker to be very insightful and his observations and suggestions to be on point. It opened my eyes to improvements I can make in my marriage even though I listened to the Bible references as metaphorical.

I thought some ideas where good, however the answers to the issues were too conversative religious based.

This book was informative, I wasn't aware it was a lecture series or that it contained as much spiritual content as it did.
