Tired of all the advice about marriage? Especially when you try it and it doesn't work? You believed the experts when they guaranteed to improve your communication, bring ecstasy to your love life, or promised to make you and your spouse soul mates? Maybe you read it in a popular book, saw it on a talk show, or heard it from a well-known speaker. At first it was so convincing and for a while it seemed to work. But then reality hit.

Gerald W. and L. Marlene Kaufman offer another way to find real contentment in marriage. They suggest that you take a rain check on the fantasies. They know that all couples have stresses from work, children, finances, and may distractions. The Kaufmans help you find ways to manage your life. They especially want couples to be realistic about each other when the mystery and intense romance disappears.

This book is about discovering the wonderful things that occur in the daily routines of marriage. Things that many couples miss because they chase impossible dreams and fantasies. For example, the quiet of an evening together after the kids are in bed. Sometimes without a word being said! Maybe the closeness comes form an unsolicited back rub. Mainly they are close because nothing else is allowed to come between them. That is when they discover a richly ordinary marriage. What the Kaufmans call Monday Marriage.

Marriage
At times our world seems to be spinning out of control. Marriages are disintegrating. Many children need medication to help them through the school day. A growing number of adults and youth are searching for something that is missing in their lives.

Our situation relates to the removal of boundaries in contemporary society. Saying "no" has become out of step with a world that worships the concept of the indiscriminate "yes." Authority figures have been replaced, and we are in search of our own "space" and self-esteem. We do not want to be inconvenienced by restrictions.

Freedom and wholeness come when we choose to live within boundaries. We seek compassionate limits drawn by the civil society and the church. We need boundaries that connect to our covenant with God. These help us in our relationships with each other and speak to our long term good.

This book celebrates contained freedom that places a fence around us from the time we are born till the time we die.
