Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married [Kindle Edition]
Author: Gary D Chapman - ISBN: B0040891ZS - Language: English - Format: PDF, EPUB
DESCRIPTION
Gary Chapman 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.

As you can tell by the title of this book, it targets those who are thinking about getting married, in the process of, and newlyweds. I would even suggest this book for a marriage on the rocks; it might help give that couple the chance to step back, look at everything, and possibly see where they can work in order to save the marriage.
I have to admit, my first reaction when I opened this book wasn't that great. The first thing I read was "On a scale of 0-10, how strongly do you feel the "tingles" for the person you are dating?" Don't worry, it does get better.
Chapman keeps this book very practical. One of the chapters is called "That toilets are not self-cleaning" - all about the contemporary confusion of gender roles. Some of the best practical advice is to recognize each others' abilities, and leverage them for the benefit of the marriage (i.e. If she is better at handling the money then she should).
One of the main points, as Chapman expounds on the two stages of romantic love, is that most men do not understand or comprehend female sexuality. We go in assuming that they are like us - even if we give lip service to the differences in the sexes. One of my favorite quotes: "If I had known that taking out the garbage was sexy for my wife, I would have been taking out the garbage twice a day."
Probably one of the most relevant chapters is the one called "That spirituality is not to be equated with `going to church'," One of the things that stresses out more Christian marriages is when one of the spouses stops going to church as regularly after getting married. He is not saying that you shouldn't go to church, but that we shouldn't hold that as the golden standard of spirituality.
