Tony Gulvin suggests that the long-term relationship faces possible extinction; powerless, in a much changed world, to resist the lure of serial monogamy, and its adherent's inherently charlatan claims to virtue. In this highly original and fascinating critique, Gulvin's seemingly unbreakable logic disturbs much of the complacency surrounding the modern relationship and argues a compelling case for a genuine re-articulation of the marital agreement. Engrossing, witty, challenging, and at times, uncomfortable: a must read for anyone seriously interested in having a happy, long-lasting and loving relationship.

This is a small but powerful book, with a visual tool to gauge Christian marriages. It is designed with a message of simplicity and clear understanding of God's divine order and plan for married life. The size and design of the book is to encourage married couples and individuals desiring to marry, to carry along with and keep it close as a memento of God's will and presence in everyday life. Originally from the city of Gary, Indiana. Elder Grace Anderson answered the call to ministry in 1985. She completed her Bachelor of Science at Calumet College of St Joseph in 1995. Wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, presenter, mentor and author, Mrs. Anderson has over 42 years of experience ministering on the simplicity of living for Christ Jesus. After years of service in Indiana, Grace, and her family, moved to Minneapolis Minnesota. During her 16 years in MN, she was appointed, superintendent of Christian Education, Women's Ministry Director and Marriage Ministry Director. Grace Anderson understands the need to simplify the teaching of Christian marriage, which delivers straightforward methods to follow and apply to daily living. She was inspired to create The Marriage Pyramid, to place a visual tool in the hands of couples to aid as a reminder of the unfaultable structure that God has for triumph in marriage.

This is a book designed to help marriages be all that God intended for them to be.

The primary point of this book is to establish that every couple has some common needs that must be met in order for a marriage to be successful. Those needs usually present themselves in a hierarchy format. Topics: hierarchy of needs, communication, functional needs, money matters, parenting, common-sense marriage, and marriage preparation.

Through Pierre Bourdieu's work in Kabylia (Algeria), he develops a theory on symbolic power.

No two marriages are the same, but success has a pattern. It is not by accident. It can be taught and learnt. This also applies to success in marriage. This is the purpose of this book. It is a standard textbook for marriage. Understanding Marriage is a practical guide to a successful marriage. The author, after giving a lot of quotations of great men and women concerning marriage (consisting of the good, the bad, and the ugly), goes ahead to give different definitions of marriage and guidance to courtship, love, and submission. All causes of problems in marriage are fully covered, with frequently asked questions fully answered. The book is a panacea to those marriages that are hurting, a must-read for intending couples, and a handbook for marriage counsellors.
