What Did You Expect?? by Paul David Tripp


This is a book explaining how our expectations going into marriage can be different than reality.  Tripp explains how marriage should be Christ-centered and he gives six commitments that couples should make by God's grace.
This book would be helpful especially for younger engaged couples or newlyweds, especially if they are not as grounded in the faith.
There are a couple things I would have liked to have seen explained more in this book.
1. A Biblical explanation of the roles of husbands and wives since misunderstanding in this area can lead to problems.
2. What to do if your spouse is not a believer or not committed to the things discussed in this book (as in I Peter 3).  (Crossway provided me with a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a fair critique).

My rating: 4 out of 5 stars
