Review

In today world, only spiritually and emotionally strong marriages survive. The Myth Of Romance offers candid, honest advice for couples contemplating marriage. Successful marriages can be build if the relational myths of a secular, materialistic, hedonistic society are rejected. Among the most pernicious of these myths are that romantic feelings are the best test in choosing a mate, physical and emotional attraction can measure a relationship's intimacy, living together is a good compatibility check, God will protect you from painful consequences of bad choices. The Myth Of Romance tests the reader's readiness for Christian marriage, life's most intimate love and heaviest responsibility. Those already married will discover how to move ahead by building a lasting unity with their spouse. And every reader will find out how to stop a fruitless search for a mythical "True Love' and to focus instead on building the relational skills that make marriage work. -- Midwest Book Review
