Linda and Charlie Bloom are psychotherapists who specialize in relationship counseling. They have written an easy-to-read, inspirational book based on personal experience as well as the experiences of their clients. The 101 lessons are presented in a devotional format. They are well written and a pleasure to read. The topics are realistic and provide encouragement through story. This book, written for married couples and those contemplating marriage, is appropriate for congregational and academic libraries and would be a top choice for bibliotherapy with married couples. It could also provide devotionals in programs directed toward marriage enrichment.
