Books for Prep: Wonderful Marriage: A Guide to Finding the Right Partner and Building a Relationship That Will Last a Lifetime

In Wonderful Marriage, Lilo and Gerard Leeds share with readers the habits of mind and heart that all great relationships, including their own 56-year marriage, have in common. From sex to communication, they discuss all aspects of marriage, offering profound insight and thoughtful advice to help couples improve and maintain their own relationships. The Leeds focus on what they term “the Big Six” — Religion, Money, Sex, Children, Recreation, and Acceptable Behavior — covering each topic in a manner that’s thorough, simple, commonsensical, and eminently understandable. Refreshingly, they avoid the gimmicky approach taken by most relationship authors, a trait shared by Terrence Real. He supplements the book with his own no-nonsense brand of psychological counseling, which perfectly enhances and underscores the Leeds' message. With the help of this book, all readers, whether married or still looking, gain the tools they need to forge happy, healthy, fulfilling marriages.
