With This Ring (Revised): A Practical Guide for Newlyweds

by Renee Bartkowski

Overview

This popular book helps newly married couples build a solid foundation for their life together and avoid “traps” that can undermine their marriage. With candor and creativity, the book pinpoints over twenty crucial areas of necessary adjustment for each spouse. It offers guidance for communicating effectively, accepting each other's faults, enjoying sexuality, getting along with in-laws, building a spiritual relationship, and much more.

Since no single approach will be right for all couples, newlyweds are actively involved in finding a solution that works best for them. Valuable exercises help them respond constructively to the complex issues of the early years of marriage.
