Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. While both men and women deserve both love and respect, in the midst of conflict the driving need for a woman is love and the driving need for a man is respect. When either of these needs isn’t met, things get crazy.

Few subjects are as compelling-or as endlessly variable-as love and marriage. The Bible is filled with references to husbands and wives, from the story of Adam and Eve to advice in the New Testament, each open to interpretation. In The Meaning of Marriage, Timothy Keller, pastor of New York's Redeemer Presbyterian Church and bestselling author of The Reason for God, uses the scriptures as his guide to show readers what God's call to marriage is, and why this is such a powerful call.

An affair: It can rob a couple of their relationship, their happiness, their very identity. And yet this extremely common human experience is so poorly understood. Adultery has existed since marriage was invented, and so, too, the prohibition against it - in fact it has a tenacity that marriage can only envy. Iconic couples' therapist and best-selling author of Mating in Captivity Esther Perel returns with a groundbreaking and provocative look at infidelity, arguing for a more nuanced and less judgmental conversation about our transgressions.

"The mood of the book is conversational, scriptural, with a touch of humor," Michelle says. "It's the kind of book I wanted but couldn't find, so I had to write it!"

Infidelity, deceit, distrust, and shame. Unfortunately, these are recurring themes in many of today's marriages in America - even in the family-values-promoting, Christian-based Robertson family. With a romance that began in junior high, the couple got off to a rocky start but soon settled into married life and had two baby girls. Alan became a pastor in the church where his family had been members for years. Then, when Lisa had an affair, the heartache and the tension was very public.

Forgiveness will unleash a power in your life that is underrated and often ignored. It is underrated mainly because it is underused. We fail to capture the power of forgiveness because we are afraid of it, because we have grown comfortable in our familiar wounds, or because we are sinfully stubborn. But the power is there waiting for us. This little book, and the 11 real life stories in it, will help you capture that power. Because everybody needs to forgive somebody.

For the first time in history, the average age for an American woman having her first child, 26, is younger than the average age of her first marriage, 27. More children than ever are growing up in fatherless homes, despite the overwhelming evidence that in every measurable way this is bad for the child. The Center for Disease Control also recently reported a dramatic rise in sexually transmitted disease nationwide. In Rhode Island alone, since the onset of online dating, reported cases of Syphilis has risen 79%, and HIV has increased by 33%.

Christian faith isn't blind obedience to a set of rules and regulations; it is entering into a relationship with a God who pursues us - not to punish, but to love. As the leader of Central Christian Church in the self-proclaimed "Sin City, U.S.A.", Jud Wilhite has seen it all, and he knows that no matter how far someone has strayed from God, God always remains in passionate pursuit.

Get out of Jail FREE!
Would you listen to Report to Briselda again? Why?
Yes... If I'm ever in "hot water" with my lover, I'd go back and reference some really "cool" things to say to make things better. This book is either written by the most prolific lover since Don Juan... or the ultimate "silver tongued" devil. A master of the spoken word...
What other book might you compare Report to Briselda to and why?
Cyrano DE Bergerac? Don Juan? Like I said... Totally smooth responses to an ultra suspicious woman's questions about the sincerity of her suitor.
Which scene was your favorite?
When she asks him about his infidelity to TWO of his former wives... She painted him into a corner... and he makes it out!... Unstained!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Throughout the book, there is a sense of intensity with which the principal pursues the "love of his life"... Briselda. His apparent undying love drives him to bare his not-so-lily-white soul in an effort to convince her that he is NOT the man he once was. That whole undercurrent was pretty moving...
Any additional comments?
A new "tone" for narrator Al Benelli. I've listened to many of his books and he generally sounds like a New York newscaster, but this time he sounded more like a southern preacher... almost like Morgan Freeman playing the role of a minister.

Hopeless and relentless romantic
Where does Report to Briselda rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Report to Briselda ranks at the top of all of the audiobooks I've listened to so far. Don Peavy seems hopelessly determined to find love and marriage at his own peril!
What other book might you compare Report to Briselda to and why?
I wouldn't compare the plot to Romeo and Juliette, but I do see similar intensity to find and share love. Mr. Peavy is determined to be married at all costs, and it seems as though nothing or nobody will stand in his way to accomplish his goal.
What does A. T. Al Benelli bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
A. T. Al Benelli's voice inflections and expressions certainly added life and meaning to what this author must have been feeling. Mr. Benelli sounded like he was telling his own life story, as though he felt the pain and disappointment in each of Mr. Peavy's marriages.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The most touching moment in the book for me was when Mr. Peavy left and divorced PC to find that her terminal cancer had returned. That had to play heavily on his heart and mind for a long time, especially since she lived such a short time after he left her.
Any additional comments?
I commend Mr. Peavy on such a well-written and moving narrative, with all of the special effects of life, love, marriage and disappointments. His style and content set a new bar for a lover pursuing the woman he so desperately wants to be his wife.I commend Mr. Benelli for his excellent portrayal of the person who lived through such love and marriage ordeals. If there were not different names for the author and the narrator, one would think Mr. Benelli was narrating his autobiography. Both artists did outstanding jobs in his perspective role.
