"Bierman, a licensed clinical psychologist, offers advice for couples considering marriage. He begins with a discussion of the concept of love and how it affects the minds and actions of couples, then explores potential conflicts and issues that should be discussed and skills and strategies to work out differences. He covers marriage success theories, expectations, the language of the marriage contract, how marriage changes people, the effects of having kids, in-laws, and divorce. He also covers premarital counseling and self- counseling." -- SciTech Book News, "Bierman, a licensed clinical psychologist, offers advice for couples considering marriage.

Synopsis
Up to 95 percent of all Americans get married at some point in their lives, and each year more than 2 million marriages take place in this nation. But the divorce rate as we enter the new millennium is over 50 percent. What is going wrong? "Going through the motions of getting married isn't nearly as challenging as getting to know each other on a deeper level before the ceremony," says Psychologist Jim Bierman. His book guides engaged couple through an enlightening process of self-examination and "us-examination," helping them gain a greater understanding of their partner, of the person they are becoming as part of a couple, and of the marriage they are about to create. Written for pre-weds, their families, close friends, and the professionals who counsel them, this thought-provoking text explores thinking about--and talking about--delicate issues, from love, communication, friendship, and sex, to in-law relations, money matters and prenuptial agreements, and how children will change a relationship. When couples meet the challenge of deeply understanding each other and what they expect out of marriage, their chances of enjoying a satisfied, intimate, and stable married life are greatly enhanced. By the end of this book, pre-weds will have grown from the "altered state of being in love" to being "of sound mind to marry," says Bierman. One of the last things couples planning a wedding usually want to do is talk about the realities of becoming husband and wife. Most would rather discuss wedding cake flavors and honeymoon plans than their views on children and finances, their personal insecurities and potential struggles, says Bierman, adding that even counselors and clergy usually do nottread into the area of these issues that can be deep, upsetting, and disagreement-inspiring. But better that before marriage than afterward. This book raises all the controversial yet crucial issues for pre-weds. And that will help couples wed with far more understanding of themselves and each other, with more foresight and sound thinking, "so that they'll not only be thrilled to be marrying the one they have chosen, but they'll know that their decision is a wise one.", Going through the motions of getting married isn't nearly as challenging as getting to know each other on a deeper level before the ceremony, says Psychologist Jim Bierman.
