Publisher's Synopsis
They believe that marriages are formed in paradise, but it is up to us to make them work. Most couples disregard the subtle but significant differences between remaining together and really living together. You don't genuinely live with or get to know someone inside and out until you are married. That explains why some relationships that have lasted for well over a decade end up in divorce, while others that have lasted for the minimal minimum of time have a strong marriage.
Marriages are about the blending of two cultures, people, families, values, traditions, and a number of other intangible things. Understanding each other without having to talk about it too much is one of the things you need to know if you want to keep your marriage strong. At first, it could seem like a difficult chore, but as you develop as a person and as a couple, you see the little gaps where you might want to apply some glue or bandage an injury, and that's how you learn. Start with something you can control if you want to survive and preserve a marriage, particularly in today's fast-paced society when divorce is a faster choice than seeking answers.
