Description
The truly joyful marriage is rooted in Christ.
A plumber's license takes two years to earn. A wedding license takes
two willing bodies and a blood test.
That observation may not be earth-shattering, but the emotional
inexperience it implies certainly is. And it's one reason, says Gary
Smalley, that fulfilling marriages are so hard to come by.
In this combination of Smalley's earlier published works, If Only He
Knew and For Better or For Best, the psychologist/author offers dozens of
reasons for the struggles between husbands and wives. And he suggests
several proven effective techniques for saving strained marital relation-
ships.
The first section of this informative two-part marital how-to guide is
devoted to men; the second, to women.
The book explains the differences between the sexes- men are, in fact,
more violent when angry while women are more verbal-and the
consequences of both. It offers new insights into the reasons a wife is
likely to nurture a relationship, even though her husband doesn't carry
the "instinctive awareness" of what that relationship should be.
Every relationship can be fulfilling. Any marriage is salvageable. The
secret lies in knowing your mate, understanding your mate, and in
honoring your mate.
Whether married two weeks or twenty years, this book carries
important facts for loving couples and their lives together.
