What should a husband's priority be in his first year of marriage? Deuteronomy 24:5 says "If a man is recently married, he must not be sent to war or have any other duty laid on him. For one year he is to be free to stay at home and bring happiness to his wife he has married." Wow. The authors of this helpful twelve-month guide agree that if a husband invests himself fully in his wife during the first year of marriage, they will reap untold dividends for the rest of their lives.
"His half" of this "flip" book hits home with pertinent facts and true-to-life conversations that turn men on to the crucial skills they need for making their marriage one that not only survives, but thrives.
Both sides of the book discuss: roles, talking, friendship, family of origin, conflict, money, sex, in-laws, spirituality, and how to bring about change.
The first year of marriage is like wet cement -- the impressions made in it are much harder to change once it has set. This practical, easy-to-read handbook helps young wives know how to establish wise patterns at the start of their marriage to ensure a smooth path for the rest of their lives.
Although the content of the two sides of this "flip" book is similar, "her half" speaks to young brides in the language of the heart. It presents a twelve-month plan for facing the inevitable issues of marriage, like learning to fight fair, dealing with money matters, and developing sexual intimacy. Practical suggestions, personal and discussion questions, and lots of humorous and honest anecdotes encourage women to find ways to establish open communication and tender interactions with their very best friend and lover.
