In today’s marriages, it is unfortunate that people seem to deny God and believe that their human standards alone are enough to keep the marriage going. In this book, the authors, Pastors Ade and Grace Okonrende, renowned marriage counsellors who have ministered worldwide, outlined in the simplest language how couples can stay together in unity and love to fulfill their God-given potentials. Having had the opportunity to read the original manuscript, I believe that church leaders and people from all walks of life will immensely benefit from reading this great book, which addresses issues that most writers on marriage failed to identify or address. It is very thrilling to realize that you can determine the sex of your unborn child. The procedure is clearly stated in this book as authenticated in the Bible. The authors have clearly demystified the challenges of determining the sex of your intended child. They applied this method to choose and raise one girl and three boys. —Rev. Dr. Lawrence Tette

Christian Marriage Companion is one of the most comprehensive and authoritative books on the biblical model of marriage and family. It is a blueprint on what an ideal Christian marriage is and how to achieve it. It exhaustively explains the ordinance and covenant of marriage, its central and peripheral purposes, role relationships of man and wife, how to push beyond intimacy into marital unity, hindrances to a happy marriage, how to resolve confl icts, and how to achieve a blissful Christian marriage. It fully examines issues such as same-sex marriage, oral sex, use of sex toys, pornography, masturbation, divorce, remarriage, effective communication, forgiveness, adultery, and active listening. With over 300 Bible references and real-life examples from marital counselling sessions, the book covers virtually all the knowledge and skills for making a Christian marriage a true success. It is a manual covering all that a person needs to know to bring full healing to their marriage, making the book a veritable alternative to face-to-face counselling. It reveals striking truths about Christian marriage that will be extremely hard to fi nd elsewhere. These include an in-depth analysis of the marriage proclamation, the idea that emotional and spiritual education is the central purpose of marriage, the idea of spiritual divorce, and the idea that Christian marriages aim at a deeper-than-intimate relationship. Christian Marriage Companion is the kind of book you simply place on the shelf for your spouse to read in their own time. They will fi nd it absolutely compelling to read. As they do so, only the stone-hearted will resist being reformed by it. Newlywed couples and those looking to improve their marriage would fi nd this book most useful. Although it was written specifi cally for Christian couples of all denominations, it has great potentials for positively impacting the marriages of non-Christians who read it with open minds. The Christian marriage ideals it teaches are unsurpassable and altruistic.

Am I with the right person? Will our love last? Men and women in love are haunted by these questions. Love -- especially why it blossoms in relationships and why it later dies -- is a mystery to them. Will Our Love Last? A Couple's Road Map solves this mystery by giving readers a new understanding of love -- an understanding they can actually use to evaluate the soundness of their relationships and to answer confidently the crucial questions that mystified them before. Based on hundreds of cases in his twenty-four years as a marital therapist and twenty-nine years in his own happy marriage, Sam R. Hamburg, Ph.D., explains how compatibility is the key to lasting love. He shows how compatibility on three major dimensions -- the Practical Dimension, the Sexual Dimension, and the Wavelength Dimension -- is essential to the mutual understanding and affirmation that keep love alive, and he leads readers through a simple but systematic procedure for assessing their compatibility with a romantic partner in these crucial relationship areas. Dr. Hamburg introduces a new technique, The Hand Rotation Exercise, to help readers express their degree of compatibility and then convey that visually to their partner. In addition, he presents two new original techniques for working through relationship conflicts and coming to agreement on difficult issues: His Way/Her Way and The Long Conversation. Written in a clear, direct style that is free of jargon, Will Our Love Last? empowers readers to make important relationship decisions that are intellectually and emotionally informed. Will Our Love Last? will help couples trying to decide if they should take the next step to a more committed relationship. It will aid individuals embarking on a new relationship, or who are between relationships, to evaluate the rightness of a new or prospective partner. And it will assist people who are already in committed relationships to make an honest assessment of their prospects for happiness with their current partner. People have it in their power to make sure that they truly are with the right person. Will Our Love Last? shows the way.

We are all doing relationships wrong. That is what Roger Nygard discovered after meeting with dozens of psychologists and relationship specialists. There are simple changes we can make that lead to far greater relationship happiness. Nygard's work as a feature film and documentary writer and director has focused on topics as diverse as an unparalleled, pop-culture, fandom-phenomenon known as Trekkies, an obsessive, culture of UFO enthusiasts found in Six Days In Roswell, the behind-the-scenes methods used by car salesmen in the movie Suckers, and the impossible-to-tackle topic of existentialism in The Nature of Existence For his next enquiry Nygard began a journey of discovery to solve an even bigger mystery: marriage. Nygard became obsessed with discovering why marriage is so difficult for human beings, and what are the real secrets to a successful, happy relationship. Every generation seems to make the same mistakes over and over. We aren't taught in school how to have good relationships. We are sent into the world to figure out this complex formula on our own, through trial and error, a bumpy process causing emotional damage to ourselves and others. THE TRUTH ABOUT MARRIAGE is an examination of the problems all those in relationships face, and a guide with specific steps from the experts that anybody can utilize to enjoy healthier, happier, more successful relationships and marriages.

Although commonly associated with patriarchal oppression, arranged marriages have adapted over the centuries to changing cultural norms and the lived experiences of men and women. In Arranged Companions, historian Weijing Lu chronicles how marital behaviors during the early and High Qing (mid-seventeenth through mid-nineteenth centuries) were informed by rich and complex traditions and mediated by the historical conditions of the period, during which marital affection was celebrated as a basic ingredient of an ideal marriage. Lu finds public representation and private communication of marital affection in personal records, including poetry, biographies, letters, and memoirs. During this unique historical moment, ideals of marital companionship and love came to fruition while social changes also created new tensions for couples and extended families. Offering surprising revelations about conjugal relations during this time of change, Arranged Companions raises provocative questions about the cultural construction of intimacy and the meaning of a “happy marriage.”
