No two marriages are the same, but success has a pattern. It is not by accident. It can be taught and learnt. This also applies to success in marriage. This is the purpose of this book. It is a standard textbook for marriage. Understanding Marriage is a practical guide to a successful marriage. The author, after giving a lot of quotations of great men and women concerning marriage (consisting of the good, the bad, and the ugly), goes ahead to give different definitions of marriage and guidance to courtship, love, and submission. All causes of problems in marriage are fully covered, with frequently asked questions fully answered. The book is a panacea to those marriages that are hurting, a must-read for intending couples, and a handbook for marriage counsellors.
