And suddenly you don’t feel so inferior, only humbled and oh-so grateful. He’s telling stories, she interjects they smile and humbly share the good, the bad, and the ugly about their marriage. Like their other books, I know I’ll be reading Love & War again and recommending it to all my married friends.īeing conversational in nature, it makes you feel like John and Stasi are sitting there with you, having coffee.

It also felt like if a couple like John and Stasi can admit their own marriage struggles and thoughts of divorce, then there’s hope for the rest of us. John and Stasi use Scriptures, quotes from other great writers, fairy tales we’ve all heard and movies we’ve all watched, and their own experience to illustrate the concepts they discuss in Love & War. It can feel like desperately trying to mix oil and water. Love & War also shows the reality of marriage, how hard it is for two completely different people to live so close together: Marriage is the perfect fulfillment of the deepest desires of the hearts of men and women-in a perfect Eden. Taking the concepts they discussed in Wild at Heart and Captivating, they show how these affect our marriage relationships. They point out that the Bible begins and ends with a marriage that marriage is a reflection of God’s deep desire for relationship and that anything God deems important, Satan attacks. With their usual openness about their own struggles (including the difficulties of writing a book about marriage together) and a good dose of humour, John and Stasi delve into what marriage means to God.

What the Eldredge bestsellers Wild at Heart did for men and Captivating did for women, Love & War will do for married couples everywhere.

My husband and I have several of other Eldredge books-and those books are ones I have read or will read more than once. When I saw that John and Stasi Eldredge’s book Love & War: Finding the Marriage You Dream Of, I jumped at the chance to review it.
