Jasmine receives a message unexpectedly from an old university friend who she had made a marriage pact with in the past. Seriously, who in their right mind would have thought that he would want to marry her if Jasmine was not married by thirty? Surely, this is a joke because nobody does that kind of thing for real, right. With Jasmine being the nice person that she is, she decides to let him down gently by pretending that she is already married to someone else so there is no need for him to visit. Only he is coming to town on business anyway and would like to meet her new husband. There is one problem with this course of action. Jasmine doesn't have a hubby knocking about the place, when she comes up with a crazy plan to get herself a groom and fake a whole white wedding just to prove that she has indeed found her ‘happily ever after’. So with plenty of laughs along the way and even when it involves a horse head rubber mask being worn, it was all going so well. Until . . . it did not.

They all say that the old men like to nibble on tender girls, but if she meets an old uncle who doesn't like nibbling on tender girl? "Uncle, let's have a date." "I don't like the younger ones." "Then, uncle, let's get a marriage certificate." "A marriage certificate? Hurry up and read. If you don't work hard, you can't get your graduation certificate."

What do men want when it comes to love, marriage, and family? While the answer to this question is often skewed to something more dubious, they want the same things as women. Men want to feel loved, cherished, and supported to name a few. However, the social construct of gender roles is overwhelmingly incongruent and saturated with relationship-ending conflict brought on by mounting expectations to meet unattainable standards. Many men struggle in relationships as they are challenged to meet the standards of a world that has already prescribed what manhood and masculinity ought to be. This book aims to undo many of the misleading concepts used to historically prop up patriarchal beliefs by addressing the roles of religion, economics, politics, socialization, and the intrapersonal development of men and women. These social constructs play an important role in hampering the emotional and spiritual growth of men as husbands, fathers, and leaders. Using snapshots from my personal story of marriage, divorce, and fatherhood, this book is a heart-to-heart discussion about loving, leading, conflict resolution, and uprooting the miseducation of men and masculinity to help you prepare to get married and make it last.

There was a sign at the gate: Bai Yunshu, please go through the side door! Bai Yunshu had always thought that this was the greatest insult to him! When his husband and his father joined forces to send him to a mental hospital. When her husband and sister married behind their backs. When the child in her womb was mercilessly murdered by them. She realized that the insult she thought she had suffered was too far away to reach. It had only just begun!
