What Successful Couples Do Differently

"There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues, the most dominating virtues of humans, are created, strengthened, and maintained." – Winston Churchill, UK's Prime Minister, 1940 to 1945. History has consistently proved the truth of these words. One such history is the fall of the Roman Empire, which thrived when its citizens valued marriage and family. Its fall was preceded by a collapse in family values when the family stopped being cherished. Being intentional in creating virtuous and strong families will benefit us individually, and society at large. This book is full of do-it-yourself, self-help advice for all family members, especially the spouses. It discusses what young adults can do to prepare for a successful married life, to engage in successful dating and courtship, to successfully procreate and rear responsible children, to run and maintain a happy and successful family, and to live happily after as empty nesters. How to resolve family conflicts in love, the importance of communication in a family, and divorce and its prevention strategies are other invaluable topics discussed in this book. The unique challenges facing single-parent and long-distance families form part of the concluding chapter. Advice and counsel in this book are empirically based and time-tested. Applying them will undoubtedly enrich your family life and positively impact society and your nation.
