Great Book, Great Advice
I would love to see every young person read this book before marriage and it is also great for newly weds and also those who have been married for a long time. It helps us to understand (according to the spiritual laws in effect) why our marriage might not be so perfect (based upon our past sins). It gives great perspective and renews the desire to struggle in blessed marriage for the salvation of our souls and the benefit of our blessed families.
