'Most people spend far more time in preparation for their vocation than they do in preparation for marriage,' Dr. Gary Chapman

The divorce rate currently hovers around fifty percent, best-selling author and marriage counsellor Gary Chapman, hopes to change that with his newest book - Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married.

Gary Chapman has more than 35 years of counselling couples and he believes that divorce is due to a lack of preparation for marriage and failing to learn the skills required to work together as intimate team-mates.

So he put together Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married, a practical book packed with wisdom and helpful tips that will help readers develop the loving, supportive and mutually beneficial marriage men and women long for.

This kind of insight is what Gary himself wished he had before he got married.

Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married, is a book to be experienced and not merely read. It lends itself to heart-felt discussions by dating or engaged couples by using insightful 'talk it over' questions and suggestions. By understanding and balancing the five key aspects of life, dating couples can experience a healthy dating relationship.

Dr Chapman includes information on interactive websites as well as books that will enhance the couples experience, a thought-provoking appendix and a revealing learning exercise for dating couples is included at the end.
