Product Description
Each for the Other offers hope and invaluable instruction for married and engaged couples and for counselors and pastors who desire to promote healthy, grace-filled families. Bryan Chapell illustrates clearly how offering Christs unconditional love to a mate can transform an individual and build a spiritual foundation that binds partners together as one. Most people understand that self-sacrifice promotes healthy relationships, but Chapell gently uncovers the biblical motivation for sacrificially serving your marriage partner as Christ chose to serve the church. Male or female, youll discover that Each for the Other isnt your typical how-to guide or fix-it manual. Chapell writes, As we live for each other, we re-enact the story of Jesus sacrifice that lifts us from the bottomless pit of self-indulgence to a purposeful life with God.

Good overview

Good intro but does not delve very intellectually into the topics of headship and submission. Book does a good job of explaining servant leadership.

Good marriage advice with religious basis.

I'm not what you'd call emphatically religious but found this book a terrific guide for men caught between what they want and what is right for their marriage. If you're married, this book can help keep the peace, but only if you have an open mind and heart! If you plan to be married, this book can be a guide and conversation starter between you and your betrothed when discussing real life marriage issues. You don't have to agree with absolutely everything the book says to come away with information that can save, improve, or build up your marriage.

Excellent Overview of Christian Marriage

I use and would recommend "Each for the Other" for both pre-marital and marital counselling. Dr.Chapell approaches the subject matter from a biblical and pastoral perspective. He explains and contextualizes the biblical concepts of marriage with contemporary life situations. He clearly explains the healthy biblical relationships between headship/authority and submission which is misunderstood and misapplied in the Christian culture and detested by contemporary secular culture. Both errors have had damaging effects upon marriages and families. Chapell takes a wholistic approach by looking at "Each for the Other" in terms of what it means to be a husband, what it means to be a wife, what it means to be parents to children, what it means to be a married couple in society and what it means to be "Each for the Other" "until death do us part."

I've been married nearly 17 years and have found this book has given me so much inspiration! I have read many marriage enrichment books but I have to say this is the tops! (Yes, I am a woman, and did NOT feel the least bit intimidated by what he said). I have been challenged to be more serving to my husband and my children, which in turn, is serving my God. It is also a challenge to the husband as well to nuture and nourish his wife and children and this will cause the wife to respond in a way that she wants to serve. I could go on and on and on. I picked up the book to read the back cover and before I knew it I was half way through the book! Other than the Bible, it's right at the top in my opinion.

The book is very benefitial. My fiance and I are getting married next weekend, and the chaplain that is marrying us, suggested this book for the both of us to read. It helps keep into perspective the way you are to treat your spouse. Somewhat repetitive at times, but overall, I think it is a great book.
