Overview

Most people believe that courtship is required only for a man and a woman to know each other and once that is achieved and both marry, it is no longer necessary. Therefore many men and women endure the process with the hope that soon, all the hassle will be over and they will be free after marriage. This is an unfortunate mentality because it is exactly after marriage that courtship becomes most crucial. As soon as the wedding is over and the rose-tinted glasses of romance have been punctured by the reality of daily living with a spouse, many couples become disillusioned. All is not as was expected. There is more work to be done. With this new realization, many thoughts come to mind. Regardless of what you might be thinking, the only way to survive, make your marriage work and grow stronger and stronger is to re-embrace courtship. Continued courtship is a crucial pillar in the success of your marriage. In Book 3 of the "Make Your Marriage Work" series titled "Courtship Must Continue After Marriage", J.F. Bradley explains the different types of mind-sets that people have toward the issue of courtship. He explains the benefits of courtship and teaches the necessity of ensuring that it never dies in your marriage. With the passage of time, for some couples, over-familiarity creeps in. Bradley looks at the "Homeostatic power" of courtship and how it brings balance to your marriage and helps to overcome the negative effects of over-familiarity. This book doesn't beat about the bush. This specific volume is entirely focused on how to ensure that the spirit of courtship transitions into the marriage and is not left out of it. There are other books in the "Make Your Marriage Work" series that cover other areas of marriage such as expressing your individuality in marriage, finance and marriage, in-laws and marriage and so on and you can get those other volumes if those areas interest you. However, if you want to learn how to carry on the practice of courtship in your already consummated marriage so as to make it succeed, this is the book you need to get. It is the one you have been waiting for. Get Real, Get Ready.
