Every marriage is a partnership of two individuals, each of whom has strengths and weaknesses. For a marriage to survive, it is important that each marriage partner understands the different experiences and perspectives that their partner brings to the marriage relationship. Marriages may begin with a romantic idea of love, but that alone is usually not enough to ensure a long-lasting union. Our book presents a dialogue between husband and wife (ourselves) concerning the issues that commonly arise in marriages including our own. While this dialogue consists of e-mails written to each other (like letters in an earlier era), it was not edited later to reduce conflicting opinions or uncomfortable feelings. We believe that, whenever possible, honest communication is the best way to deal with the difficulties that arise in a marriage.
