About
"Solid advice for newlyweds, golden anniversary celebrants and everybody in-between" from the Marriage Boot Camp and former Divorce Court star (The Augusta Chronicle).
As the judge starring on two hit television shows, Lynn Toler has witnessed, in masse, the thematic mistakes made in American marriages. She herself, has also been, wed for more than 30-years and has, seen both the highs and lows of matrimony, in her own marriage as, well as, the marriages of those close to her. Drawing from both her professional career and personal life, Toler sees that the biggest impediment to marriage these days is that couples decide to take the plunge based almost entirely on the most irrational criteria: falling in love.
Making Marriage Work doesn't suggest that love has nothing to do with marriage at all; rather, Toler says that love by itself is simply not enough to make marriages survive. Marriage, Toler says, is a job, and it needs to be, treated like one. This updated manual suggests specific procedures that should be, put in place to bridge the gap between head over heels and happily ever after. It explains how to phrase things in order to span the great hormonal divide men and women often fall into when trying to talk to one another. It also discusses the very new and real challenges to marriage created in a culture often overwhelmed by the emphasis on (and ability to attain) instant gratification.
Replete with simple, no-nonsense rules, Divorce Court anecdotes, and stories about Judge Toler's own union, Making Marriage Work contains invaluable information couples can use today to secure their marital tomorrow.
