Hello people.
With so many marriage issues abounding in the world today,
there can never be too many books on the subject of love and marriage. This week's book, Behold Your
Missing Rib by Revd. Chuks Eden, deals with the subject of love and marriage albeit with a twist.
In the introductory chapter of the book, Revd. Chuks promises that
the book will empower readers to overcome all barriers to marriage; a very
heavy claim indeed.
Using scriptural verses as a framework to support his
postulates, he suggests, in chapter one, seven primary reasons why marriages
fail using different case studies to back up his claims.
In subsequent chapters, the author describes various traits a
person must look out for in a prospective partner if they wish to marry and
live happily ever after.
It is at this point that the book gets interesting, although I must confess that I found it difficult agreeing with some of the things written in the book; for example, the author advises that a person should not marry a man who is not working, or a man whose work one is not comfortable with. While I understand what the author is trying to say, I also know that a few women were fortunate enough to marry men who were not working at the time of the wedding but who got jobs soon afterwards.

The author also advises that it’s best to marry someone not
just of your own faith, but even of your own denomination if possible. Again, though
this does make sense when viewed from one perspective [imagine a Deeper Lifer
marrying a House on the Rock member]; I believe there are still exceptions to the
rule.
These are but a few of the controversial issues contained in
the book. It also contains insightful statements however, for instance, in the
chapter on physical appearance, the author states that no matter how loud a person’s
inner beauty shouts, a would-be suitor will not hear the sound unless they are
first captivated by the outward packaging of the person.
Behold Your Missing Rib is entertaining and insightful once
a person can get past the controversial issues in the
book. Readers who wish to buy the book can purchase it on Okadabooks by clicking
