Publisher's Synopsis
"Of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh" warns Solomon (Ecc 12:12). But sometimes, the additional nondescript book may just provide the little help you need, which you have been searching for in the whole shelf of books on the subject-- many of which are written by acclaimed authors.It is with this in mind that we offer this little introductory book on marriage. It is unlikely even to show up when you search for a book on marriage on Amazon or Google. But hopefully, some of us may find it useful as we embark on the journey together as married couples. This book is really a compilation of supplementary notes that the author, as a minister of the gospel, has issued to young couples who have come to him for counsel regarding their marriage, or who have asked him to join them in marriage. It brings the couple through various foundational subjects such as courtship, principles and purposes of marriage, roles of husbands and wives, the marriage bed, training of children, balancing between family and work and even divorce.It is not designed to replace or even to stand alongside the excellent books already written on these subjects. Indeed, it actually recommends these books for those who desire to study more deeply into them.May Christ, whose love for the Church, is one of the reasons marriage was ordained be highly exalted through this humble endeavour.
