Mad About Us

Having worked with couples for more than 20 years, this book by the Olivers is a great resource for couples who want to discover the dynamics of marital conflict and what to do about it. Written in a way that is easy for anyone to understand, the ideas and suggestions for dealing with conflict and the emotions that are associated with it can be quickly applied. The practical suggestions and end-of-chapter questions make it ideal for use in small groups or church settings as well. The way in which Gary and Carrie weave their own story into the information they present makes for enjoyable reading. A valuable book for couples who want to learn how to make the most of conflicts in drawing them closer together!

Both Gary and Carrie Oliver speak from such experience the entire book rings true. It is presented in an easy to read (not necessarily easy to accomplish) way. Well, it is easy to accomplish if both partners read the book and are willing to work from "anger to intimacy"

This book is such a profound gift of transparent experience and Godly wisdom. It is required reading for all couples who desire to fulfill the ultimate purpose of their marriage. We ordered fifty copies for marriage ministry.

This is a real-life practical relationship book that has application even beyond marriage. After 20 years of marriage, there are still so many things to learn about making our relationship richer and better. This book provides real help for real world relationships. This book was a gift to me... so I have decided to give away a copy for every year of marriage (20) that this book could have helped me with! John

Every couple should have this book! This is the most powerful and practical book I've ever read on dealing with anger in marriage. It shows how to make anger "work for you" to move from conflict to intimacy. You can tell that the authors have lived what they have written, for the book includes their own life experiences and carries an authenticity that is genuine, refreshing and inspiring. 'Mad About Us' will be a gift to your marriage that will last a lifetime!
