This is the first book I read of Dr. Eggerichs. He seems to have dealt seriously with the subject of communication in marriage throughout the book. I did find his referrals to his previous book all too frequent. There are chapters in the book that held my attention and some I found to “beat a dead horse.” Dr. Eggerichs’ approach using the three cycles does clarify times that couples go through. He also uses several acronyms to enable the ready to connect and practice his theory of improved communication. I find no fault in his use of such strategy but with so much information on each of them I will more than likely forget their significance. Overall I would say the book is a textual piece of literature on communication for married people. Dr. Eggerichs establishes the well known differences in men and women, i.e., thinking “pink” and “blue”. The book would be an excellent reference for any marriage counselor and should be in the pastor’s library.
