Of Spiders and Silkworms

By P.G. Sebastian

The only way marriages and families can survive and thrive in this age is for couples to put their hands to the weaving loom, and determine not to let go until they see the kind of families they desire. The pressures on the modern-day family are enormous for a generation that is ill-equipped as ours to handle. From consumerism, selfish ambitions, bizarre marital expectations, justifications for irresponsible acts, and parental neglect to intrusion from the external families, marriages are daily tossed back and forth like a sailless ship on a tempestuous sea. How do you handle a Long Distance Marriage in a world where substitute and shadow spouses are all too available? How do you develop a 'Joseph mindset' to insulate your marriage and those of loved ones against infidelity in a time where, like David, people possess everything they desire, even if it is for someone else? How do you handle your in-laws and play neutral in the Wife-Mother epic struggle? From finding the fair balance between affection and disciplining of children to knowing when to leave one's parents and cleave to one's spouse, PG Sebastian tackles some of the most contentious, controversial, and often avoided contemporary issues in marriage and family life in his new book, "Of Spiders And Silkworms." Through his unique style of writing, PG mashes up tonnes of wisdom, intuitive insights, humor, bluntness, contemporary language, and everyday experiences (acquired and shared) to weave strong sails to guide marriages across the existential marital tempest of our age, which threatens to leave many marriages shipwrecked.
