Publisher's summary

A gradual loss of love and intimacy affects most couples, slowly eroding their marriage.

What causes the loss of love? What drives a spouse into the arms of another? What factors propel couples who once sincerely pledged their love for one another to divorce court? The common response is to blame one's spouse, but is this really true?

In The Three Marriage Enigmas, Kevin Foster, MTh, reveals the hidden and insidious forces that sap marriages of love and intimacy. These forces operate behind the scenes without the knowledge of either spouse. Left unchecked, these marriage enigmas destroy what were once happy, healthy, and loving relationships.

Once you understand these destructive forces, you'll understand why your spouse acts the way he or she does and how your own actions are perceived. You'll learn to forgive one another and begin working to reclaim the beautiful love you once shared through a specific, step-by-step system that removes uncertainty and guesswork.

The road is not always easy. You must be willing to learn and do the work needed to restore your marriage. But the rewards - oh, the rewards - are priceless!

Very helpful

It is written with a humble heart, to encourage and shield us from pain. I liked how he never held back or softened the message, I needed that kind of straight talk.

Above average marital advice

I thought the advice given was pretty solid. I wish the author would have spent a little more time validating that women often have a reason for refusing to have sex with their husbands instead of just saying like he did that she needs to suck it up and give her husband what he needs to feel loved because then he’ll start loving on her more. That’s just not the case for most marriages. Plus, don’t all husbands hate duty/pity sex? I just don’t find that advice to be very helpful, and it seems to be the #1 go-to advice given by all Christian marriage counsellors. Very disappointing. Perhaps he should have spent more time teaching men how to treat their wives so that the wives WANT to have sex more with their husbands. Also, he REALLY should’ve talked more about the female orgasm and how important it is for the wife to actually orgasm in order to want to continue having sex with her husband. I feel like that topic is especially glazed over in the church. Other than those things, I found the book really helpful and enlightening. It was a good read and gave me many moments of self-reflections.

I recommend this book to every couple.

This book named the major problems in my marriage and how to solve them. I feel like I'm in a successful marriage but this book pointed out many ways I can improve my marriage. I believe that one of the most important things a person can do to improve his situation is learn true principles and realize you can only change you. Most of the time when you improve you, the people around you follow your lead.
