Narration Toward Books Letters to Karen: On Keeping Love in Marriage (Abingdon Classics Series)
I rate this book 2.5 stars!Not what I was expecting. Although some good points in the letters, there were also some I disagree with. For example I felt that this book was too traditional where the woman in the marriage is the housewife and the man is the breadwinner. Even though I love keeping things traditional, in this day and time roles have change. I also found the style of writing and humour used as weird, and didn't feel I connect with the author. This is definitely one of those books where you take what you want and leave the rest. Unfortunately there will be more I leave behind than take with me.

I couldn't find the English version of this book on Goodreads, so this will have to do. I thought this book had several gems of wisdom in it from a fatherly and seemingly Christian point of view. Charlie Shedd wrote a series of letters to his daughter in response to her question, "Daddy, how can I keep him loving me forever?" Kind of a sappy question, I guess, but I think it turned out to be a pretty nice book.As I said with his other book, Letters to Phillip, it does read as though it wereThe subtitle for this book is "On Keeping Love in Marriage," which is a good description of the book. These are letters written by a pastor to his daughter upon her engagement. My fiance and I are reading them together and we are really enjoying the conversations they spark.
I love this little book. It has been so helpful in our marriage. Miguel and I got hooked on Charlie shedd books with letters to Phil and so I got letters to Karen. Dr shedd really is a master of "homespun wisdom"
Really good advice- I would recommend this to every woman out there!
I read this book along with the companion book, Letters to Philip, years ago as part of a Marriage & Family class in college. Letters to Karen is a collection of letters from a father to his daughter giving practical advice for marriage. The book is very practical and easy to read. Although some of the roles for women have changed through the years, the book offers great advice & wisdom sprinkled with touches of humor which are still applicable in modern day marriages. Great little book
This book has some very practical advice but alongside some very misleading ideas and explanations of life. Over all this is a very sentimental and typical marriage book. It is very sincere but one could be sincerely wrong. This book does not focus on God being the one that sustains the marriage and that marriage is not to make us happy but holy. "All things are from him and through him and to him" (Romans 11:36) and this includes marriage! This book does not mention the gospel and the main
great book for guidance in relating with any guy, but especially boyfriend/husband. it's one of those books i'll probably want to read once a year. quick, easy, and enjoyable read.
