In this easy to read guidebook, Dr. Harley leads the reader along a journey towards building the best marriage possible. With this goal in mind, he offers couples four ways to create a healthy and vibrant marriage through care, protection, honesty, and time. With each chapter containing useful and practical exercises to help the reader think about sometimes difficult issues, greater insight and knowledge afterward is a given.
Dr. Harley doesn’t beat around any bushes here; he goes straight for the real issues of conflict between couples. The information is presented in a logical manner which is a refreshing change from other self-help books. While this will no doubt be a very helpful guide for engaged couples, I can see how this information would benefit all couples along different walks of life. Therefore I recommend this book to everyone as after reading it, you will be more knowledgeable about what could go wrong in your relationship and how to better prevent it. For as they say, prevention is worth much more than the cure. So start reading so you can better ride off into the sunset with your partner towards marital bliss!
