Reviews

The greatest response I’ve heard about Simple Marriage comes from ordinary married people. People just like you who have experienced the ebb and flow of marriage and have put in the work necessary to create a great relationship.

What People Say

I have been enjoying your Simple Marriage feeds for a while now. I’m much older (married 33 years), not a Christian, and a woman. In these ways we are different. But I like your groundedness, your embrace of healthy sexuality, and your vision of marriage more as an opportunity for growth and less a place to seek selfish happiness. I appreciate a Red State Christian wearing his faith so lightly and in such a meaningfully integrated way. It works completely for this Blue State agnostic! Thanks for your contribution to our growth.

I have shared so many of your blog posts with others because they have provoked me to really think about changing behaviors in my own life. I have read and re-read your posts on the Nice Guy several times thinking about the men I know who fall into this trap. I’ve also thought a lot about what I’ve done to push them into the trap or trap them there because of a lack of encouragement on my part. Thank you again. I look forward to learning more from you.

I’m feeling better about who I am, and I who I want to be right now than I have in a year or so after reading the whole of the “Nice Guy” posts. I guess you could peg me as a recovering nice guy. Either way, I now have a clearer picture on what worked for me in the past, and what didn’t and more importantly: WHY. I can’t thank you enough. Thanks a million.

I’m a long-time reader of your site and absolutely love it.  It is unquestionably the best relationship blog that I know of and has provided invaluable advice and guidance to my girlfriend and I.

I have to STOP and e-mail you to let you know that this particular post touched my heart more than you will ever know. The post, “Who Has the Power in Your Marriage?” describes OUR situation that we are currently in. It’s like you are living with us and seeing everything that is going on in our lives. I can’t tell you how WONDERFUL it feels for someone to finally put into words EXACTLY what we are feeling/going through. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
May God BLESS you as much as you are BLESSING others!

I enjoy your blog posts very much – thank you. They have helped my husband and I get over a two year phase of turbulence. My husband still has on our fridge your list of 50 Things to improve marriage.
