He Said. She Said. by Jay and Laura Laffoon

This book will provide 8 powerful phrases to strengthen your marriage. The Laffoon's have created another marriage-saver book for Christians.

In He Said. She Said, you will discover the points of view from both husbands and wives with each party including their thoughts for each chapter.

These phrases are:

She needs to hear "I Love you"
He needs to hear "I'm Proud of You"
She needs to hear "I Respect You"
He needs to hear "I Need (blank) from You"
She needs to hear "I Desire You"
He needs to hear "I Want You"
She needs to hear "I Cherish You"
He needs to hear "I Believe in You"

I don't know what to say when our Christian culture has such a strong need for books explaining how to have a successful marriage. It seems as if these phrases are so simple and common sense things that you would take for granted; perhaps you assume this is wired into people's brains but, as the high divorce rate proves, even Christians are in need of something to survive marriage.

I appreciated the author's candor. You will not find two people who are afraid to spell their ideas out for you. They aren't afraid to tackle the touchy topics either.

While it may seem easy to skip right to the "sex" chapters, I would recommend every couple read this book together and actually progress through the discussion topics at the end of each chapter.
