Success
in Marriage
The mystery of success
in marriage is gone. Here is an understandable description of what
sanctifies the marital relationship and what pollutes it. The information
is learnable for those who wish to do so.
Many of us learn what
works well by practice and absorption in our family growing up.
Our parents knew how to relate well, and we learned from them. Even
so, our parents were probably not perfect and we could learn a bit
more to make our marriage even richer.
Others of us survived
much pain from learning how to survive in our browing up years,
and now are in the position of teaching ourselves the positives
our parents didn't have to give us.
This book will stimulate
your awareness of what works and what doesn't, and suggest some
ways to build the positives into your most intimate relationsihp.
