Description:Excerpt from When You Marry Getting married and raising a family today require advance preparation. Most couples want their marriages to succeed. But wishing happiness is not enough. Marriages that have been preceded by study and careful mate selection and which are followed by skillful handling of adjustments have high success rates. Without adequate preparation anything can happen! This book has been written to supply the kind of guidance that is sought and needed when you marry. As in the original When You Marry, the chapter order is functional. It focuses on the person contemplating marriage and takes up in turn the questions he actually asks, beginning with the part personality plays in marriage and ending with the problems of the empty nest. But in keeping with the spirit of the book, we recommend that the teacher of the class, or the leader of the group, poll the members to ascertain their interests. We have found that most young people are personality conscious and wish to begin as the text commences with "What You Bring to Marriage," or sometimes with Chapter Two, "It's Love!?" A group of wives and mothers, on the other hand, may choose to start with Part 2, "What It Means to Be Married," or with Part 3, "The Making of a Family." A class of out-of-school adults may prefer to consider the entire last section, "Family Life Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow," before taking up the more person-centered materials. This is functional education: to start where the person is and work outward, in this case to a broad understanding of the entire gamut of marriage and family problems. We hope the book will continue to be the basis for self-study for many young couples who find themselves unable to attend a course in marriage and the family. Our suggestions for further thinking and activity through counseling, specific readings, and helps for working out personal and family problems are designed to facilitate self-study as well as group discussion. We have tried to keep the book close to the realities of life, and in line with proven principles and valid scientific concepts.
