"This is one of those books that you wish could be put into the hands of every married couple and those contemplating marriage...If the contents of this book were put into practice, society would become more stable and broken homes would be few and far between." --The Gospel Witness
"...one of the finest among the flood of such books flowing off the presses...The book [has] a theological depth and seriousness often lacking in non-Reformed books on this subject." --Reformed Herald
"A book that says many biblical things about sex, children, family, the mystery of marriage. Recommended for laypersons and preachers alike." --The Reformed Journal
"This book does faithfully reflect the teachings of God's Word on marriage." --The Banner
"A pastor, husband, and father speaks of marriage and its relationships in terms that few want to hear today-even in the church." --Moody
"...there is much to be learned from this book for it touches upon much where the rubber hits the road in marriage. The chapters 'The Christian Man as Husband' and 'The Christian Woman as
Wife' serve as excellent mirrors and may also serve the reader to discover where he or she fails in honouring the special God-designed role in marriage." --Trowel and Sword
"If ever there is a book which is vital reading for the church in our day, it is this one...This book is essential reading...and particularly should it be part of the staple diet offered to young people contemplating marriage...[This book] challenged my views on the vexed subject of divorce and remarriage...[it] also caused me to re-examine my whole attitude to marriage in general and my own marriage in particular, and to re-appraise my role as husband, lover and head of the family." --British Reformed Journal
"...Engelsma's book is ideal for any who has an interest in the subject...Ministers, elders, deacons, husbands, wives, parents, young people, and engaged couples, especially engaged couples, should read it. They will do so with life-long profit." --The Tamar Reformed Witness
"...Engelsma...presents a rich, biblically based view of marriage." --New Oxford Review
"...Engelsma...provides what may well be the clearest expression of God's heart on the matter of marriage in print today. In simple, readable form, the author sets out the biblical view of marriage."
--Charles Crisimier III in the Standard Bearer
