Book Description
A collection of essays extended from The New York Times' most-read article of 2016. Anyone we might marry could, of course, be a little bit wrong for us. We don’t expect bliss every day. The fault isn’t entirely our own; it has to do with the devilish truth that anyone we’re liable to meet is going to be rather wrong, in some fascinating way or another, because this is simply what all humans happen to be – including, sadly, ourselves. This collection of essays proposes that we don’t need perfection to be happy. So long as we enter our relationships in the right spirit, we have every chance of coping well enough with, and even delighting in, the inevitable and distinctive wrongness that lies in ourselves and our beloveds.

Book Description
So You Think You Want To Get Married is an inspirational and thought provoking, premarital guide, designed to challenge and change your perceptions about marriage. Each chapter provides valuable insights that will assist you in making informed decisions regarding yourself and your potential mate before committing to marriage. Some of the topics discussed in this book are: - Ways to deal with yourself before committing to someone else - Embracing realistic views regarding marriage - Understanding barriers to getting married - Establishing reasonable expectations - Understanding what will be required of you as a spouse - Obtaining the right guidance Skip and Beverly Little met at a Singles' Ministry event at the church they both attend. Beverly was initially unimpressed by Skip and politely dismissed his advances. Undeterred, Skip persisted. His relentless pursuit finally wore Beverly down and she agreed to one dinner date. Dinner went well and they both agreed to pray for God's direction for their relationship. As time passed, a true friendship developed and Skip knew Beverly was the one! A few months into the relationship Skip traveled to Virginia to meet with Beverly's older brother and seek his approval to potentially marry Beverly--as both her parents were deceased. After several hours of intense interrogation and a follow-up visit, her brother finally consented. The couple courted for six months and then got engaged. During the time of their courtship and engagement they faithfully attended premarital counseling for an entire year. The premarital counseling proved to be invaluable. Shortly after marriage, the Lord inspired them to provide additional guidance to other couples in their church who were contemplating marriage and So You Think You Want to Get Married was born. Currently, Skip and Beverly serve as the Married Couples' Ministers at First Baptist Church of Glenarden in Maryland. In this role, they provide pre-marital and marital support to thousands of individuals and couples.
