Pages : 0
Book Description
A collection of essays extended from The New York Times' most-read article of 2016. Anyone we might marry could, of course, be a little bit wrong for us. We don’t expect bliss every day. The fault isn’t entirely our own; it has to do with the devilish truth that anyone we’re liable to meet is going to be rather wrong, in some fascinating way or another, because this is simply what all humans happen to be – including, sadly, ourselves. This collection of essays proposes that we don’t need perfection to be happy. So long as we enter our relationships in the right spirit, we have every chance of coping well enough with, and even delighting in, the inevitable and distinctive wrongness that lies in ourselves and our beloveds.

Pages : 221
Book Description
Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

Happily Never Married
Author: Kendra L Harris
Publisher: Happily Never Married LLC
ISBN: 9780998245003
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Happily Never Married addresses a broad spectrum of issues related to being happy as a single person. It is a voice for individuals who through choice, chance, or a combination of the two, have remained or become single. The "happiness" factor is revealed in part by objectively describing experiences and observations regarding relationship dynamics. The book builds upon those scenarios to spread a message of love of self, and empowerment, which lead to happiness. The motivation for writing the book was derived from a study that concluded that never-married females, over age 50, are the happiest group of individuals in American society, second only to happily married individuals. The precursor to the book, the "Happily Never Married" blog, revealed that although the subject was originally directed at these older women, the book has tremendous appeal for a broad audience that is not limited by gender, marital status, culture, or age. Furthermore, because the "singles" population is now over half of the US population, the subject is extremely timely. There are forty five essays in the book which is divided into seven sections. Essay topics include: companionship, online dating, surviving break-up heartache, children and relationships, cougars, and holiday issues. The book does not have to be read sequentially. Thus a reader can choose a topic, read it, and skip around in the book to another topic.

Book Description
What is the best wedding advice you ever received? For author Seth Adam Smith, it was the advice from his father who said, "Marriage is not for you. It is about the person you marry." These few words completely changed the way Seth looked at his relationship with his wife-to-be. Because at that moment he realized that an expression of love is not about the person expressing it. Rather, it is about the person they choose to be with. It is about making the person you marry feel loved. Seth's blog post on the subject was viewed by more than thirty million people, and he has been featured on several national TV programs including "The Today Show." Now released as a hardcover book, these sage words make the perfect gift for newly married couples, those who have been around the block a few times, or anyone who wants to learn how to make their relationships stronger.
