About the Authors

Mike McManus is a Duke graduate who was Time's youngest

correspondent in 1963. He has been a nationally syndicated columnist since 1977,

whose award-winning "Ethics & Religion" column is published weekly. Mike's book

Marriage Savers inspired clergy to create Community Marriage Policies

that have reduced divorce and cohabitation rates in more than one hundred

cities. He and his wife, Harriet, cofounded Marriage Savers, Inc., to help

clergy better prepare, enrich, and restore marriages. They have personally

mentored fifty-seven couples preparing for marriage.

Harriet McManus married Mike in 1965. She was the first editor of

Marriage Savers and Mike's other books and is editor of Mike's columns.

Together they have initiated a premarital marriage ministry in their church,

Fourth Presbyterian in Bethesda, Maryland, and they pioneered the training of

Mentor Couples to administer a premarital inventory. She works full-time for

Marriage Savers as a writer, editor, and trainer. She and Mike have three sons

and six grandchildren.
