The Purpose and Power of Love and Marriage Paperback – March 28, 2013

My husband and I celebrate 25 years of marriage this year!! When I first began reading this book, I wondered where this book was 25 years ago when we first were talking about marriage. I then began to pray, "Lord why am I reading this book?" He quickly showed me I have daughter who is in a serious dating relationship. She was genuinely excited when I asked her if she and her boyfriend would consider reading the book. So, I have ordered two more copies. Part One lays some great foundational work to discuss before marriage or early on in a marriage.Part two talks about what love is and why we were created. Much of this was review for me, but I so enjoyed the refresher.Part three includes very helpful information no matter how long you have been married. Things that as the years go by can sometimes be forgotten or in the rush of everyday life overlooked.I recommend this book for both engaged couples, newly weds and those who have shared many years together already.

I’ve self reflected as I read my book and I underlined what stood out to me and I reread chapters over just to truly soak in what I’m learning. It’s about learning how to apply self to the purpose and power of love and marriage in your life obviously if it applies to the plans God has for you. But we’re always learning so it’s best to learn the truth, God has given His men and women of God such awesome ways of braking things down and Dr Myles Munroe is one of the few I’ve learned so much about the kingdom of God from.

I absolutely love this book. It has answered so many questions that I have had about every aspect of relationships. This book has even answered questions that I never thought to ask, but I am sure they will be very relevant at some point in my life. I have researched Myles Munroe and he is an awesome man of God. Myles Munore is filled with the Holy Spirit and it is obvious how Holy Spirit filled this book is. This book is filled with so much wisdom. I encourage you to read it even before you get into a relationship because it is also very informative in terms of taking preventative measures as well. I am a Christian and I love God. I am serious about living for God in every aspect of my life. So if you are serious about having a Holy Spirit filled, loving, peaceful, knowledgeable relationship during engagement and marriage, definitely read this book! This book will bless you. If you don't read anything else, read this book! I strongly feel that the wisdom from this book with the direction of the Holy Spirit will tremendously bless your relationship. It is a must read for sure and honestly after reading it I would have been willing to pay more for all the wisdom that I have obtained from it. It's AWESOME! BUY THIS BOOK!

My husband and I have been happily-not perfectly-married for forty-one years, so I'm not sure what first drew me in to read this book...perhaps the hope that my two daughters might also be blessed as we have been. Looking back on how we've come this far, I think Myles Munroe pretty much nails "it" in Purpose and Power of Love and Marriage. There were times I'd just nod my head and say, "Yep, we learned that one the hard way!"I bought two hard copies of the book to present to my daughters and their husband/fiance. I think the book holds a wealth of information for both the engaged (preferably) and the already married (to help understand the bumpy periods) to use as springboards for honest discussion between them.The book is built upon Biblical teachings in an uplifting and enriching way. I mention that only because the author bases his entire logic on the tenet that both the husband and wife believe in God and Christ. However, I think an "open-minded" tolerant non-believer could also glean some beneficial, relationship-strengthening wisdom should he/she choose to read the book.

After 50 yrs of marriage with my first wife massing away with MS after 30 yrs and now 20 yrs with my new wife. Thru success and failures, blessings and failures this writing has helped me understand what i have done well and where i have messed up. The one thing i have learned is that in both marriages intimacy was only in the first few yrs i didn’t realize how much it affected me thinking i wasn’t loved and how it drove me to try really hard to earn love. Reality i was loved only in their own way and i did not understand that. Thank you for truths well written
