Synopsis

Irritations, differences of opinion, and opposing lifestyles may not have seemed obvious when you were dating, but now that you're married, that's all you can see. Happily Ever After will help you establish realistic expectations and goals for marriage through stimulating questions, journal pages, and honest personal stories.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

The proposal . . .
            the planning . . .
                        the wedding . . .
the honeymoon . . . THEN WHAT?

Worlds collide when two people come together with completely different views about marriage. Expectations are half the battle for first-year marriages. Many people think they will become better versions of themselves, but there are other expectations to deal with too—things like:

1. Sex
2. Finances
3. Disagreements
4. Church and spirituality
5. In-laws

Such is the case for countless couples. More time and energy is spent on preparing for the wedding than for the marriage.

Written with openness and brimming with practical advice, Toben and Joanne Heim reflect on the struggles and triumphs of their first year of marriage to provide a realistic and hopeful view of “happily ever after.”

“How you live your first year of marriage affects years two to fifty-two. Toben and Joanne Heim give wisdom’s tools to help get year one right. We highly recommend Happily Ever After.”

—Jody and Linda Dillow

“I don’t know of another marriage book as honest and insightful. I have even used its wisdom in my twenty-second year of marriage!”

—Glenn T. Stanton
Author of My Crazy Imperfect Christian Family and Why Marriage Matters
