Although written
in 1986, the Neuenschwanders still stand by the the insights presented in this book after forty-three years of marriage. As
stated in Two Friends in Love: Growing Together in Marriage, they still believe that "whereas romance is the
heart of marriage, friendship is the heart of romance." Like
a prism, this book puts on display the true colors of romance. It reflects not the shallow ideas most of us have absorbed,
but the pure light of biblical truth concerning interpersonal intimacy. With that foundation, Ed and Carol draw you into a
realistic understanding of how to cultivate mature romantic love. That means romance of the deepest kind--what they call "the
intimate contact of two living souls, which creates its own inspiration." Gain your way to a face-to-face, soul-to-soul
enjoyment of each other with the practical, caring counsel presented here. In this thriving relationship, you'll find much
to offer--and far more to receive.

When Charles R. Swindoll wrote the forward
to Two Friends in Love, he said the following: "With a great deal of scriptural support and practical insight,
Ed and Carol Neuenschwander have gone beneath the symptomatic surface and addressed the crucial issues that lead to weakness
and disease in marriage. Then with wisdom and skill, they have provided realistic prescriptions that will bring back to health
and happiness a relationship that has come dangerously near death. What they suggest isn't easy and won't come naturally (it
certainly isn't being followed by the majority), but it will work. I know for a fact. As proof, I can name at least one couple
whose marriage is a model of these principles. Their lives are as creative and tasteful as the book you now have the privilege
of reading."
