Reviews

. . . consistently friendly, with a hopeful tone.
Kirkus Reviews

Marriage Minded encourages readers beyond the initial realm of dating and selection and into the marriage itself, creating a thought-provoking review that will appeal to women (and also men) who are both single and looking, and married and seeking to improve their relationship. Marriage Minded thus is recommended reading for a wide audience of women (and men, too): daters of any age, and also those who are already married and who want to make better choices and decisions that support the relationship.
Midwest Book Review

Marriage Minded is uplifting and positive. It steers women in the right direction for what to look for in a partner and how to create a happy, lasting marriage. This book is light but certainly not lightweight. A wealth of thoughtful information is presented in small bits, which makes this book very reader friendly.
Linda Bloom, coauthor of 101 Things I Wish I Knew When I Got Married

This is the most important book to come out on dating and marriage and certainly long overdue. I am buying it to give to so many people who will benefit from its wisdom. It addresses so many different aspects of dating, marriage, and it does so in a language that is both elegant yet so relevant.I wish it could be required reading for college students as well. They certainly need the sage advice and common sense coaching it presents.

Berger's writing is professional and informative. She offers knowledge of relationships, self-psychology, and inner awareness. Her tone gives the reader a sense of talking with a wise and trusted friend at their kitchen table. This book is relevant to both men and women, single and married.
