Art of Being Together –
Frank Wade, Forward Movement Publications, After over 40 years of marriage and of
counseling couples as a pastor, Frank Wade has put together a book talking
about the things which make for a lasting relationship. He
emphasizes both the personal and the community aspects of marriage and goes
into detail about the meaning of the vows couples make
as they are married. And he discusses the things that can give a marriage
problems-as well as talking about the possibility of
divorce. Primarily designed for
couples, especially those engaged and planning their weddings, this inexpensive little book would be
helpful in any marriage relationship. To
Love and To Cherish Till Death Do Us Part - John Westerhoff, St Luke’s, Helps couples prepare for the marriage
ceremony and for their life together; they look at a history of marriage, a
theology of marriage, and about topics to discuss prior to marriage; it
examines the ideas of a healthy, happy marriage and our spiritual life as
reflected in a marriage. Finally, it goes through the ceremony itself with
comments and suggestions. Sure to provoke discussion by an engaged couple if
taken seriously. For more
