In
Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married, the author writes, "Most
people spend far more time in preparation for their vocation than they do in preparation
for marriage." No wonder the divorce rate hovers around fifty percent. Bestselling
author and marriage counselor Gary Chapman hopes to change that with his newest
book. Gary, with more than 35 years of experience counseling couples, believes that
divorce is the lack of preparation for marriage and the failure to learn the skills
of working together as intimate teammates. So he put together this practical little
book, packed with wisdom and tips that will help many develop the loving, supportive
and mutually beneficial marriage men and women long for. It's the type of information
Gary himself wished he had before he got married. The material lends itself to heart-felt
discussions by dating or engaged couples. To jump-start the exchanges, each short
chapter includes insightful "Talking it Over" questions and suggestions. And, the
book includes information on interactive websites as well as books that will enhance
the couples experience. Dr. Chapman even includes a thought-provoking appendix.
By understanding and balancing the five key aspects of life, dating couples can
experience a healthy relationship. A revealing learning exercise is included at
the end.
