living, laughing and loving thru marriage
Unfortunately, too many couples get married without the proper preparation.
They mistakenly feel that the romantic love of courtship lasts forever. Many
overlook, or deny seeing the faults in their prospective spouse and just go
along and have the wedding because the date was set.
This according to Dr Corr
is the primary reason why the divorce rate in the US has reached the 50% mark.
In this book, Dr Corr not only helps couples avoid the initial mistake of marrying
the wrong person, but also gives guidelines to the average couple to help them
grow in their marriage. Knowing yourself and spouse totally is the first step.
Making the commitment and keeping it is relatively easy, if couples learn conflict-resolution
skills, know how to meet each other’s needs and learn to accept the other
spouse just as they are.
By sharing his insights and stories from his own marriage
the author demonstrates that living in a committed relationship is not only hard
work at times but can also be a lot of fun.
