Review: Better Early Life Marriage, and Later Life Marriage, too!

I’ve been married for ten years. So while I realize this book was primarily geared toward Early Marriage, I figured a few things before starting to read.1) I plan to be married for many, many more years. So in the scheme of things, 10 years probably IS still early in our marriage.2) A lot of what makes a marriage work early on, also keeps a marriage going later on.3) It wouldn’t hurt to learn some positive thinking techniques as it relates to marriage. Because hardships come and go. While we’ve been married for 10 years, we’ve had our ups and downs. We’re still “newbies” in the area of getting through struggles while married.My husband and I were 20 and 21 when we got married. And we were homeless. Within a few months, we had jobs and our own place, and within a year, we were pregnant with our first baby. What amazes me sometimes is how I can look back and think “Those times were easy!” (Then again, I think babies make everything better, at least for us.) Now we have four kids and four times as much love to share, but we have our share of struggles, too. And the ONE thing that makes those struggles more bearable is that we have each other :) So it was with that thought in mind that I opened my kindle to give this one a read.One of my favorite things about this book, however, wasn’t just the ideas and inspiration it delivered. It’s the WAY it was delivered. Easily accessible, easy to understand, and light enough in its delivery to make me smile. Not only that, but the laws of positive thinking aren’t helpful JUST for marriage. A lot of the advice here can be applied to many other areas of life.I recommend reading it now. Read it before married, read it after married. Read it if never planning to marry just to learn to understand these concepts that really can apply to any relationship. You will be glad you did.
