Synopsis

An elegant coffee-table gift book, "Everlasting Matrimony: Pearls Of Wisdom From Couples Married 50 Years Or More" is perfect for anyone in love or desiring love. The lifetime-keepsake volume consists of interviews with 75 couples who've celebrated no less than their golden anniversary. "Everlasting Matrimony" makes a lovely and meaningful gift for engagement, wedding, anniversary, vow renewal, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or Father's Day, Thank-You, House-warming, Christmas, Chanukah and any other special occasion, as well as for personal enjoyment!

Husbands and wives are interviewed separately. Espousing experience over analysis, these inspirational voices share the "real-life" formula for lifelong love. The couples represent a "sprinkling of America," from all different faiths, backgrounds and ethnicities. "Everlasting Matrimony" documents over 4,000 years of marriage insight and advice. Graced with a beautiful white laminated jacket, the hardcover book is 160 pages.

The 75 featured couples touch upon every aspect and facet of marriage ranging from communication, sex and money, to children, religion, hardships and much more. And, they expound upon the importance and value of such psychological components as commitment, forgiveness, trust, honesty, respect, compromise, and humor.

In contrast to traditional, cumbersome analytical relationship books, "Everlasting Matrimony" provides expertise from role models, ordinary folks with whom readers can easily identify. This lifetime-keepsake volume is enhanced with black-and-white "nostalgic" and "years later" photos of each couple.

About this title

About the Author:

Sheryl Kurland is the "voice" of the "voices of experience" - the "real-life" relationship experts. Not only is Ms. Kurland the only author to have interviewed such a sizable collective of couples married more than five decades, she furthered her distinction by interviewing husbands and wives separately. She has been featured on ABC World News Tonight, in The Wall Street Journal, on MSNMoney.com, and interviewed by an array of media (radio, TV, newspaper, magazines, web sites) across the nation.

Ms. Kurland is a Speaker as well as a Relationship Trainer for businesses and corporations. Research shows that Corporate America is losing $6 billion annually due to bad marriages, bad relationships and divorce. While senior management may say "We're not going to get involved in the personal lives of our employees," in fact, they already are. A method of prevention is offering "relationship education" programs on the job. Ms. Kurland's presentation, "Relationships: Roles, Rumors and Real-Life," addresses employees and employers in a variety of formats -- Lunch & Learn Workshops, Corporate Retreats, Breakfast and After-Hours Seminars, etc. The programs offer "real-life" advice in an educational, entertaining and interactive format.

Since "developing strong, healthy relationships" is a topic with widespread appeal, Ms. Kurland is also a Speaker, and has been invited to address a diversity of audiences - corporations/businesses, young adults to seniors, community organizations, professional associations with memberships of both men and women, religious organizations, and even the deaf. Presentations are notoriously user-friendly and customized to audience interests and ages.
