"Unstuck: Escaping the Rut of a Lifeless Marriage" by author Barry D Ham, Ph. D. is a 234 page paperback. This Christian marriage book is written as encouragement for marriages that have grown stagnant or stuck in the doldrums.
Using real life examples the author shows how various couples were able to get "unstuck" in their marriage. He uses suggestions on how to get closer to your spouse, communicate better, get your spark back, and stay committed. This is a biblically based book, and scripture is referred to often. At the end of his book the author has included scripture references that were mentioned in texts. In each chapter the author asks you to engage – to reflect, to talk about, and to take action. He has written an interactive study guide with unstuck that will offer insight and help for any marriage, fledgling or seasoned.
Author Ham has a nice writing style that is easy to follow and understand. His chapters and book are well organized and researched. The personal stories were a great touch to hold readers' attention. The advice and tools given were practical and urged couples to keep trying to get unstuck rather than give up.
The author stresses that couples need to put God at the center of their marriage in order for it to be successful.
I would recommend this marriage guide to any marriage couple, especially one that feels their marriage needs some help. Even a couple with a good marriage will glean some ideas to use. This would make a nice book for a church library. I rated it a 5 out of 5 stars. A copy of "Unstuck" was provided by The Book Club Network for my honest review.

Unstuck: Escaping the Rut of a Lifeless Marriage by Barry D Ham, Ph. D is awesome. The author follows a couple from newlywed to life after their children are grown giving examples of the struggles they had, that so many couples experience. The authors points out the importance of commitment instead of enduring. I especially enjoyed the chapter “Relearning The Dance”. In this chapter he compared working on a marriage to learning how to dance. I liked the examples of look into her eyes, lead and protect, moving as one, and make each other look good. This is so true.
This is such a good book. Even though a lot of people buying the book will do so because their marriage is not what they would like it to be, it would be a great book for every couple. I will be recommending this book to my friends, it is that good!
I received a copy of the book from the author and Book Club Network for an honest review.

This book is a great resource for those who feel "stuck" in their marriage. It is also great to read for ideas on how to communicate with your spouse in different ways. We all need a little push sometimes. While reading this wonderful book I couldn't help but be brought back to a time when my husband and I were "Stuck". It has been a very long time ago but I will never forget how close I came to loosing the love of my life and best friend. Counseling was our life line as well as a closer relationship to God and family.
This book gives you different couples and their stories how they worked through their differences and came out on the other side. I know everyone feels that this will never happen to me, I have the best marriage in the world. People need to realize that marriage is work and not something to neglect just like our relationship with God. I would recommend this book to people thinking about marriage and those that are married for a great resource. Always remember why you got married and have God at the center of your lives.
At the end of this book there is a great section on all the biblical references that were mentioned in texts.
