| 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. | |
