Finally, here is a manual with the best tools to help you get to “happily ever after!”Unfortunately, marriage has gotten to the point where many of us have given up on the idea of “as long as we both shall live.” Maybe your parents were divorced (more than once) or maybe you look at your parent’s marriage and wonder why they even stayed together. “Marriage just doesn’t work, at least not for the long haul,” you may have concluded.So why get married? Because, no matter how you look at it, research still tells us that a healthy marriage is still the best relationship for the best sex, for financial stability and to raise healthy children.
