I received a copy of this book as a gift when I was engaged. It was an excellent way to help prepare for marriage, not just the wedding day. Now we give it to almost all the young couples we know when they get married. It is easy to read but full of excellent PRACTICAL advice on how to have a wonderful marriage. I highly recommend it!
This book should be read continuiously throughout all phases of marriage. It is exceptional, light reading which brings its points across quickly and easily for all to ponder and reflect on. After being married for some years, I see what paths I have taken and where I haven't. It lets you now your not alone in the frustrations to reaching successful fulfillment of a Christian marriage. To Mrs Von Hildebrand, thank you.
Excellent book that prepares you to be a wife and have a healthy relationship with your spouse.
I love this book! The first year(s) of marriage can be challenging, it's unknown territory. This book has helped me by reminding me to not be so selfish and it really encouraged me to know that I am not the first to go through some of marriages challenges. Also, this book helped keep me mindful of my husbands perspective. I think it helped me be respectful to my husband (even when I didn't want to) and also made me realize that in doing so it really made me happy and feel loved. I highly recommend this book!
Such an awesome resource for young brides! As a bride-to-be myself, I read this book to prepare for marriage, and I plan on reading it over and over throughout my married life. When two young people who are deeply in love decide to get married, even if they prepare for it as much as possible and think they have everything figured out, they will still make mistakes, and they will still have to figure out how to live with and love one another, even though neither is perfect. As the title suggests, the book gives guidelines for how to let your love for your husband, and those little (or sometimes big) trials in marriage, make you into a better person, the person that God made you to be.Alice von Hildebrand is an incredibly wise woman, and an excellent philosopher in the tradition of her late husband Dietrich. But even if philosophy is not your strong point, don't worry. This book is surprisingly easy to read, and very down-to-earth and practical. If you are a married or engaged woman, and want to pursue holiness within your vocation, do yourself a favor and read "By Love Refined." It will help immensely
My wife received this as a gift and she commented a few times on the practicality of the author's advice, and the engaging manner in which she writes
