There are many stories of marriage life from his counseling sessions. These real life examples help you recognize the love type of you and your spouse. From just reading the stories, I could almost pinpoint what love type I was and my wife was.
The one negative thing about the book was a feeling of it being an advertisement. This is scattered throughout the book so it became a bit of a distraction. I am all for giving credit where credit is due for an idea or concept but I feel it was a little too much. If you can get by this one distraction the book has great potential to change your marriage for the better.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your great review of " This is Your Brain in Love".One of the great insights that God gave me as I have worked on the theme of spirituality and sexuality in scripture is this...when you are looking at a passage of scripture that has to do with marriage research what is a Jewish view on sexuality, marriage, etc. It brings a new depth to that passage.
Send me an email at drearlh@gmail.com and give me some examples of what you mean about it being an advertisement. I probably do go over board on giving credit to what I have learned by working with Dr. Amen these past 14 years...if that is what you mean that is helpful to know.
Thank you again for your support of this book. I do believe it will help many of God's hurting children!!
