I had the honor of taking a class at Gordon Conwell with Dr. Hugenberger and he is nothing short of remarkable. The same goes for his book (I have read the printed edition) as it is chocked full of marital insight from Malachi that often goes unnoticed. He writes in a scholarly way but is very understandable and a delight to read. He presents a solid, Biblical perspective of how God intends marriage and this is a must-have when doing marital and pre-marital counseling!
