Review: Sound advice...

I’ve been happily married 14 years, though admittedly it hasn’t been all sunshine and roses. In fact, I think a detrimental side effect of popular media is that it glorifies the euphoria of romance while mostly leaving out the fact that a healthy marriage/relationship is also composed of work, grit determination, the ability to compromise when necessary, and occasionally, the swallowing of pride (also when necessary). It’s not a complete joyride all of the time and that’s okay and normal.I picked up this book because even though I’ve been married a long time (certainly by today’s standards anyway) I still feel that I’m by no means an expert at it. That my knowledge of relationships and how to be successful in them is an ongoing process and will be until I die. And I was curious what the author had to offer. I wasn’t disappointed. The author gives good,  sound advice. And even offers scenarios and examples on how to deal with them. I would definitely recommend this book to not just newly married couples, but old couples, young couples, and every couple in-between.
