Stasi and john eldredge6/24/2023 Companionship is essential to a healthy marriage.(They claim if more married couples would recognize this fact, their marriages could very well take a turn for the better!) We live in a love story (God’s story) but the setting is a war.They cover several ideas about marriage that are important to recognize: The book is clearly ‘Eldredge’ - I mean that in a good way - they make many references to themes the have covered in other books like: “Strength and Beauty”, The man’s desire to be believed in, to have someone to share an adventure with and a beauty to join with him., a woman’s desire to be known, to have someone to share life with, and to be able to lean on for strength. John and Stasi Eldredge write individually about their marriage (there are clear distinctions between the two) and the things they have learned thru 25 years together, and nearly two divorces. If you have read ‘Wild at Heart’,’Epic’, or ‘Captivating’ by John Eldredge, you might be able to relate to what I mean. Love and War is a look at marriage through the eyes of two great writers who captivate mind and heart with the stories from their marriage, and mental images that they present. “Maybe we ought to just start this book here: Marriage is fabulously hard.” – John and Stasi Eldredge
