Who would imagine being friends with Eve - the woman who’s been held responsible for the fall of humanity (and cramps) for thousands of years? Certainly not Sarah Jakes Roberts. That is, not until Sarah discovered she is more like Eve than she cares to admit. Everyone faces trials, and everyone will mess up. But failure should not be the focus. Your focus should not be on who you were but rather the pursuit of who you can become.

Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. While both men and women deserve both love and respect, in the midst of conflict the driving need for a woman is love and the driving need for a man is respect. When either of these needs isn’t met, things get crazy.

Publisher's Summary
Proven principles - drawn from real-life failures and successes - for building and sustaining a loving, healthy relationship in today’s trying times, from celebrity life coach and motivational speaker Tony Gaskins, Jr.
After speaking out about how weak and insecure men control women in relationships in 2009 on several globally televised shows, Tony Gaskins launched his career as a life coach and relationship counselor. Since then, Gaskins, who has been a faithful and committed husband for more than a decade, has counseled thousands and inspired millions online, becoming one of America’s foremost experts on love and relationships.
Practical and accessible, and delivered in the empowering, empathetic tone his devoted following has come to love and trust, Make It Work walks you through a series of essential lessons on how to maintain a healthy and long-lasting relationship. Drawing inspiration from the Bible and from his own personal failures and successes, Gaskins offers a framework for how to recognize the right person to settle down with, how to set standards that promote loving relationships - and what to avoid in a successful union.
Make It Work arrives as a hopeful response to a culture where breakups and divorces are all too common, and it serves as a vital resource to help your relationship thrive today.

Wonderful!!
This is wonderful. One day in 2016, I was riding in my car listening to 88.1. A young man was on the radio talking about the word of God and his book "Real Love." I immediately downloaded the book. After reading that book, I read his book "Broke Minded."
@tonygaskins has done it again his new book "Make it Work." This book is for people who are single, married, separated, and/or divorced. I received my preordered audible on yesterday, but began listening today. He gives sound biblical teaching, scripture, and holy spirit inspired advice on life and relationships.
I wish that my soon to be ex husband and I had this book or even had someone in our lives during the beginning and throughout our marriage, to help us like this book will help others. Praying that it blesses everyone that reads it. It has blessed me!

Really good listen
I love the lessons given to us by Tony in this book. It's common sense and faith-based, which seem to he two things individuals struggle with and lack. My only complaint would be that is it mostly geared towards married couples. I see ways to implement this into my single life when determining what to look for in a partner, but a lot may not actually come into play until marriage. Overall, I think this book will help a lot of couples with their relationships.

Thought provoking!
I finished this book in 1 day, it's very insightful and it made me take a cold hard look at myself in the relationship. I've notice negative behavior we both exhibit buy my God when it came to me I realized I've been doing it all wrong. Im going to listen to it with my fiancee and hopefully she can see the error in her ways as well. this book is a must read for any man, woman, and young adults. This is the type of knowledge most parents need to pass down to their children...

Grateful for Tony’s wisdom and sharing of knowledge
I initially purchased this book (first time even trying audible) because I wanted to make it work with someone SO bad but turns out, he didn’t. I still read it because I KNOW he’s not my husband and one day, I will be able to apply what I’ve learned with the man who is. I’m so eternally grateful for finding Tony Gaskins, his raw wisdom and for helping me realize a lot about myself and the men I have dealt with.

This book is a must have no matter what age you are , whether you're single, engaged, married ,divorced , you need this book in your life! I watch the author on YouTube and find him highly amusing however the serious side never fails to make me challenge my thinking . He doesn't hide the fact that he's a Christian. That doesn't take away the quality of the book, in fact it enhances it . I would say anyone of any faith would find this and amazing read. Tony A Gaskins thank you for this gift!

There are some concepts in this book which are 100% unbiblical unfortunately, and that is the only reason I didn't give it a straight five star but other than that there is a lot of great advice and godly wisdom being shared, and praise God for that.

For all regardless of relationship status
I thought this was for married couples trying to “make it work” but this book really does give great advice whatever your relationship status. I like that it’s speaks to both men and women. Very insightful and needed in this day and age.
