Poignant reflections on marriage
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Being a newlywed, this book caught my eye, although having lived with my husband for 9 years prior to marriage, I wasn't sure if the message would apply to me. I was pleased to discover that this warm-hearted collection of sentiments on marriage is appropriate for newlyweds and long-time married couples alike. At its heart, this book is about people who love each other commmiting to sharing their lives together, no matter what. The authors compiled stories and quotes about marriage from a wide variety of sources, including famous married couples (eg, George Burns and Gracie Allen), literary figures such as Shakespeare, and average married couples. The information is beautifully organized into chapters to illustrate various components of marriage, such as history, romance, weddings, obstacles, families, culture, and the like. There are wonderful stories about not just love, but also tradition, perseverence, and miracles. A wonderful book for anyone who truly believes that love conquers all.
This book helped me really like being married.

Everyday in a marriage brings its own challenges and trials. This book helped me look beyond the petty, ordinary irritating things to the wonderful partner God has provided me. It includes stories about marriage from celebrities and former presidents as well as everyday people. I especially liked the personal stories from the editors. I plan to buy this book for a friend of mine who is engaged and I would recommend it as a gift to any married couple. Marriage isn't just a legal institution or a social status quo - it a a vibrant pairing of two people, spiritually as well as physically, who will encourage each other and support each other through all things and all times.

Beautiful book. A must for anyone who has been married, even if for only a short time. Long time married readers will relate to stories/feelings of the contributers and short term married readers will feel inspired. This book takes you to a place reserved only for the love of your life. I found it hard to go through a chapter without reaching over and kissing or touching my husband. This would also make a great anniversary gift.
