Appropriate that I finished reading this book on Valentine's Day.

This book was hard for me to rate, because it didn't fit into the boxes I expect. It wasn't a Christian book about marriage. It wasn't a scientific or sociological study on marriage. It wasn't a self-help book on marriage. It wasn't purely anecdotal. It bridged a number of genres and format.

But I found myself mesmerized by it. There weren't a lot of new ideas in the book, but I appreciated the new presentation of the ideas, the way that sacred, exclusive, dynamic, and responsive marriages was framed in accessible, simple, and profound ways. I appreciated the honesty between Rob and Kristen, and yet the overarching theme that marriage is good, and it is worth it.

I think this is an interesting book because of it's accessibility, and I wonder if that's the whole point.
