From AudioFile:

Maurice Englands slight Southern accent is pleasing to the ear as he delivers Chapmans discussion of how to negotiate change in your spouse, using a Christian perspective. The book is divided into three sections, and Matthew 7:8, about the speck in your brothers eye versus the plank in your own, serves as the foundation. With an empathetic tone, England explains Chapmans three-step process for overcoming bad habits: personal examination, admitting the problem, and asking your spouse for forgiveness for past failures. Chapman emphasizes the importance of timing and of learning to speak your spouses love language to encourage negotiation and change without arguments, blame, or manipulation.
