This is a great book previously released as "Going All the Way" to use for pre-marital counseling. It helps gives warning to those who may be thinking of jumping the gun before tying the knot or not stepping up and being the husband or wife God created them to be. Tactfully written, Craig shares as only he can (in very humorous and thinking out loud kind of ways) why we should be seeking the scriptures for guidance and advice and not the movies we watch or even our friends and family. Peer pressure is all around us but he shares honestly this marriage relationship doesn’t come easy. We make choices every day to either step up or relinquish responsibility.
I did find a couple of instances where it did resemble things that were said in a couple of his other works However, over all this was an excellent read for couples who are especially just getting started. The reality is love, sex, and happily ever after doesn’t just happen. It is a gift to one another and for one another from our Heavenly Father.
Some people may not care for a book on relationships or marriage thinking they already have it down, but I would strongly encourage any marriage could use a little fine tuning. This book does contain a study guide in the back which would be helpful for couples to work through the issues brought up in the book. I wish to thank Blogging for Books and Multnomah Publishing for supplying this book for review.
