My Beloved and My Friend ~ Hal & Melanie Young

This is one of the fundamental truths of marriage – it takes two individuals and makes them into a new, unified entity. He and She become We.Pg. 225

If you are looking for a great eye opener to the ups and downs of marriage, well here it is! Hal & Melanie Young (authors of Raising Real Men) have placed within the covers of this book a vast wealth of spiritual knowledge and personal hard-knocks. This book will take you into the places of:

  • Leaving and Cleaving
  • Submission
  • Communication
  • Division of Labor
  • Affection
  • Love life

Through using the Bible as a guide and incorporating todays fast paced life, Hal & Melanie have shown through careful work on both parts, that you can be married to your best friend.

Basic understand matters.  Commitment to fundamental truth, in spite of constant small temptations and distractions, matters.  Skill can be learned, and it takes practice.  It’s true of football, true of life in general, and true of marriage in particular. pg.5

No matter how long you have been married, or if it is something that may be coming up for you, this book will bring awareness to the fact that marriage ~

It’s like two handfuls of clay kneaded together by a potter to fashion a single object. pg. 13

Nothing is held back as they use Gods word to show a clear path to being a Godly couple and having a marriage that show it as well.

In other words, wives are told to submit, but husbands are told to die. At least, that’s the measure of love Christ gave to us in the church. There’s no room for selfishness in any degree… pg. 77

When we let ourselves get too busy, too distracted, or to misdirected to spend time together physically, we open the door to temptation. God expects us to be lovers, and to be regular about it.

I would highly recommend this book to any couple that especially is approaching marriage or has been there for years!  The life lessons that are passed down are truly priceless and Godly in principle.
