Foundations For A Successful Marriage

About the Book

This book covers five key areas which will determine if a marriage has the greatest potential of being rewarding. Marriage is a balance of these factors which will either add or detract from the relationship. The better these areas function together the more rewarding the relationship can be. Although these five areas are typically common to books on marriage, the author seeks to look at the core issues behind each topic. For example, communication is more than just talking. Communication must include being willing to hear your partner rather than just listening to them. The goal is to maintain a positive attitude while understanding that no couple will have a marriage free of problems. With this foundation, the couple can better understand the weakest areas in their marriage and work on improving them.
