The Zimzum of Love: A New Way of Understanding Marriage by Rob Bell, Kristen Bell

2.0

It's not a bad book; it's just also not really what it advertises to be either. Nothing in here is really new or profound and not necessarily exclusively about married couples. The behavior patterns and mindsets they talk about are basically respecting another person for who they are and creating space for them to be themselves with you. I'd say that's true of any kind of healthy relationship. I like a lot of what Rob Bell has to say but sometimes it concerns me with how he seems to need to take the "but this is new and sexy" angle vs this isn't new but it's something we need to be reminded of and this is what helps me; also his penchant for unnecessarily vague and flowery language...
