My Review:
Save Your Marriage in Five Minutes a Day by Bonnie Jacobson and Alexia Paul is a book that offers "simple strategies to transform your relationship."
I was looking forward to receiving this book, not because I have problems in my marriage, but to see what ideas were offered and learn anything new to make my marriage that much better. Sadly, I was disappointed. This book does provide readers with basic ways to improve their relationship with their spouse. For couples who have been in a long-term marriages, this book can be a reminder on how to regain that closeness, though for those who are having a troubled marriage, this book may provide ways to begin communication and get past some conflict, but only a greater commitment to the marriage will help to restore trust.
The book is broken into helpful sections and addresses issues such as communication, children, physical and sexual relationships. I am not saying that every idea and suggestion in the book was a waste, I just did not feel that there were any earth shattering revelations that we have not heard on any afternoon talk show.
Overall, I would give this a 3 out of 5.
Disclosure: I was provided with a copy of this book from Book Sneeze in exchange for my review. I was not required to submit a positive review.
