Jumia Books Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married

“Most people spend far more time in preparation for their vocation than they do in preparation for marriage.”

With more than 45 years of experience counseling couples, Gary has found that most marriages suffer due to a lack of preparation and a failure to learn to work together as intimate teammates.

So he put together this practical little book, packed with wisedom and tips that will help many develop the loving, supportive, and mutually beneficial marriage they envision, such as:

What the adequate foundation for a successful marriage truly is
What to expect about the roles and influence of extended family
How to solve disagreements without arguing
How to talk through issues like money, sex, chores, and more
Why couples must learn how to apologize and forgive
Ideal for newly married couples and those considering marriage, the material lends itself to heart-felt, revealing, and critical conversations for relational success.

Read this book and you’ll be prepared for—not surprised by—the challenges of marriage.
