After receiving this book, Love of My Life…. as a gift for a bachelorette present, I decided to pick it up and skim through it three weeks before my wedding day.  What I originally thought would be just a quick glance to pass the time inevitably became an entire night of much needed individual marriage counseling.  Who would have thought such a simple little gift would bringm so much insight into what I hope will be many years to come.Banks’s book, while fairly obvious at times, breaks down the essential steps to what it takes to maintain a functioning, happy marriage.  In just seven clear-cut focal points, individuals or couples are able to pin point key elements of marriage in which to focus.  Through providing numerous examples of what to do and what not to do when it comes to things like arguing, compromise and spending time together, Banks is able to impart uncomplicated, statistically based evidence for what works and what does not work in keeping a marriage together.  If you are looking for a short read which can provide you with long term rewards, Banks’s book is a great book for any soon-to-be newlywed.
