Extremely Valuable Insights/information re: Marriage

George McLaird covers so much good ground about marriage that so many pages by themselves are worth the price of this book. He sprinkles jewels of insight and practical information across the reader-friendly chapters, and his detailed "field guide" (table of contents) lets you go immediately to what concerns you most. The book not only informs, but also challenges and encourages those who are married or thinking of marriage. Were the state to require reading and test people before issuing marriage licenses, this might be the textbook. The author presses you to live your life and marriage consciously. If you are like most people and relational problems aren't keeping you awake at night, you cruise into (and through) your marriage naively, as if on automatic, with good intentions but too little awareness or knowledge. McLaird asks you to wake up, pay attention, and take care of serious marital business that will hurt you someday if you neglect it. And then he tells you how to deal with it. If you are bothered by being told directly what to do, you may not like McLaird's hortatory style. But if you can overlook it or get by it the best you can, the rewards will be well worth your effort.
