I thought this was a really good book, especially if you are having specific problems in your marriage.  I thought it was easy to read and I feel that you could get a lot out of reading just a few of the chapters.  I really got a lot out of the Reality Living section.  In this section, Dr. Gary Chapman stresses that our emotions do not control our actions and that our actions are more important than our emotions.
