Series ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Marriage Spirit
Evelyn Moschetta & Paul Moschetta · 1998
🎙 Narrated by Paul Moschetta and Evelyn Moschetta (self-narrated)
55/100
👎 Skip It
Evelyn and Paul Moschetta lean on nearly three decades of counseling experience, and there are real, concrete exercises in here, but reader reception on their actual approach is mixed and the material dates back to 1998. The 'soul-centered' language leans more New Age-adjacent than any specific faith tradition, so that's worth knowing before you pick this one. The authors narrate it themselves, which is personal but not the smoothest professional listen.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Uses New-Age-adjacent spiritual language ('sacred place,' 'higher spiritual self') not tied to any specific faith tradition rather than an explicitly faith-based framework — worth flagging for faith-conscious listeners.. We still scored it 55; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
▶ Listen to a sample
🎙 Narration: fine Self-narrated by both therapist-authors (Simon & Schuster Audio, 1998); personal but not polished professional narration, and dated in places.
