    It is a guide on how to love one another.

    Give the male wife-beating or female oppression tips?

    I’d pick something less misogynistic for a marital aid of the non-sexual variety, in all honesty.

    Bible readings would only help if their marriage is based on delusional thinking.

    The answers are in no book created by mankind. Marriages have to be worked at constantly and that’s what keeps it strong and encourages it to last. Not a book, but the two people in that marriage and the work they both put in for and with each other.

    If both the husband and wife are Bible believers, than reading it together can help them remain of one mind. In the same way, taking a daily walk in the park, or spending a few minutes in meaningful conversation can be of just as much value.

    Equality of confusion

    Have you ever scene the movie Fireproof. It is about a husband and wife who are having marriage problems and they are getting a divorce because they can not see eye to eye on much of anything and the husband gets a book from his dad called “The Love Dare.” where he has to read the book 40 days and each day the book gives him messages out of the bible on how he should treat his wife.
