Product details

"Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married" by Gary Chapman is a practical guide aimed at helping couples prepare for a successful and lasting marriage. Drawing from decades of marriage counseling experience, Chapman distills essential lessons many couples discover too late.

Key insights include:

Love Is Not Enough: Being "in love" is a temporary emotional high that fades, requiring deeper compatibility and practical skills for a strong marriage.

Two Stages of Love: The initial euphoric "in love" stage transitions to intentional love, which demands understanding and effort, including learning each other's primary love language.

Influence of Family and Personality: Our backgrounds significantly shape marital expectations and behaviors, often unconsciously.

Importance of Open Communication: Discussions about finances, roles, sex, spirituality, and family dynamics before marriage help prevent conflicts.

Conflict Resolution: Learning to manage disagreements with respect, listening, compromise, and forgiveness is vital.

Apology and Forgiveness: Sincere apologies and the ability to forgive are foundational for healthy relationships.

Practical Planning: Agreeing on responsibilities and expectations beforehand reduces future stress.
