What to Do After You Say "I Do"
Marriage can and should be the most fulfilling time of this life. Research
shows that married couples live longer than singles. Since nearly half of
marriages fail in some countries, it's important for us to know what to do
after we say "I do."
The Truth About Love
The Good News interviews Dr. Pat Love, author of The Truth
About Love. Dr. Love discusses the phases couples go through in
marriage and how understanding those phases can greatly strengthen one's
marriage.
