Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - The pursuit of my deepest desires is not obedience
The pursuit of my deepest desires is not obedience. I agreed with a lot of what Dr Crab has to say, but point 2 of chapter 7 I cannot agree with. Jesus obeyed the Father and it was definitely not His greatest desire. He would have been happy to skip the cross if it could have been God's will. I believe that in some cases divorce is God's will.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Marriage Builder is the best marriage book out there!
The Marriage Builder by Larry Crabb is the best marriage book out there. It bypasses all the normal "band-aids", and hones in on the real issue: that marriage is a ministry to another person. Marriage is meant to minister to your spouse's needs, not to selfishly minister to your needs (although that IS an added bonus when that happens!) I have read other marriage books, but this one, for the Christian, is the real deal. It is a must have for all couples, especially Christian ones, and should ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Helpful Guide for a biblical marriage
Excellent and realistic guide to create a biblical marriage that would be pleasing to God



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Be Careful!
Crabb appeals to our sense of self with statements like this one: "In Christ, I am significant and secure; therefore I can live responsibly before God no matter what happens."

There are some neat analogies in this book, but I would caution readers to be aware of Crabb's humanistic view of people and marriage. There is no Biblical basis for the claims that we all have ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Best Book on Marriage...EVER!!!
This is the Best book on Marriage you'll ever read! I am a Pastor and I use this book in all of my Pre-Marital Counseling. Dr. Crabb is so piercingly accurate in his assessment of the Insecurities and Insignificance that each couple wrestles with! His solutions are NOT FORMULAS, they are insights and journey's with questions to discover and opportunities to serve one another regardless of their response toward us. This is also so thoroughly developed it not only prepares you for marriage it can ... Read More
