READING THE RIGHT BOOK
Grooming You For Marriage
by Fr. J.
Pimenta, SJ
In this age of clouds of
confusion and storm, youth need stars to hitch their
wagon to. One of the important spheres of life and
activity in which marked change is taking place in our
country is that of the relations between the sexes before
and even after marriage. It is in this context that the
present book comes as a light on the path of many a
confused young person.
Here is a very helpful and practical book from the hands
of the author who has a rich experience of three decades
to support the lessons he gives. He presents here clear
and healthy ideas and guidance concerning the meaning and
purpose of marriage, how to prepare oneself for marriage,
how to conduct oneself before and after marriage etc. He
also offers a precious blueprint of enduring relationship
between lovers, between mutually engaged persons, and
between husband and wife. This book will surely help not
only the would-be-married but also young couples to build
up their family life beautifully on a solid and lasting
foundation.
Love
is a Decision
by Gary Smalley
Far from being a romantic accident...
Love is a Decision.
If your marriage relationship doesn't have a destination,
how will you know when you arrive? And why wait for love
to materialise out of stardust, when you could choose
excitement and romance --- now?
In this practical book, family counselor and best-selling
author Gary Smalley reveals a simple yet profound plan
for a marriage of depth and warmth and excitement.
Plan? Exactly. Good marriages are no accident, the author
maintains. The rules he outlines are simple enough for
anyone to follow... yet profound enough to guide your
marriage for a lifetime. They include:
making your spouse feel truly honoured
learning the art of touching - tenderly
keeping courtship alive in your marriage
re-opening a heart closed by anger
building - or rebuilding - trust in a relationship
becoming best friends with your family
Smalley acknowledges that tough times can strike any
family relationship. But deciding to love - in the
practical ways outlined here - can result in
relationships that are tougher than tough times.
Gary Smalley is president of Today's Families in Phoenix,
Arizona. His previous best - sellers include If Only He
Knew, For Better or for Best, and The Key to Your Child's
Heart.
John Trent is vice president of Today's Family and has
worked in partnership with Gary Smalley on the
best-selling books The Blessing and The Gift of Honor.
My Family
by Ignatius Fernandez
Family is where we are initiated into the most precious
thing in life - relationship. The intimacy of
relationships in the family hearth is for all of us the
most treasured possession.
This book is all about the inner life of one particular
family. The author (father of the family) takes you on a
guided tour of his household. You are led to its
innermost sanctum and allowed to peep into the family
secrets. You will come in close contact with people and
situations, learn about the dynamism and love that lace
together their lives. You will discover how they reacted
to moments of success and failure, of sorrows and joys,
struggles and misunderstandings. And when you have
finished reading you will find a mirror where your own
family - situations, thoughts and sentiments are
reflected and you will be enriched -- not by fresh
knowledge about family-living but by a wealth of
experience that will inspire and challenge you to make
your own family a truly happy one.

As she introduces us to a number of ordinary yet fascinating couples, the intimate interiors of their lives, and the countless pressures they face in an age of divorce, you'll see how happy, lasting marriages are challenged and rebuilt every day - and how, whatever your marriage type, you and your partner can share a joyful, exhilarating, and fulfilling lifetime together.
Wonderfully readable and immensely valuable, full of wise and original insights about the many, many roads to marital happiness.
Men Are From Mars
Women Are From Venus
by John Gary
'A valuable, much needed book. A contribution to the
understanding of the communication styles of men and
women.'
Once upon a time Martians
and Venusians met, fell in love, and had happy
relationships together because they respected and
accepted their differences. Then they came to Earth and
amnesia set in: they forgot they were from different
planets.
Using this metaphor to illustrate the commonly occurring
conflicts between men and women, Dr John Gray explains
how these differences can come between the sexes and
prohibit mutually fulfilling loving relationships. Based
on years of successful counselling of couples and
individuals, he gives advice on how to counteract these
differences in communication styles, emotional needs, and
modes of behaviour to promote a greater understanding
between individual partners.
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus is an invaluable
tool for developing deeper and more satisfying
relationships.
...a superb guide for understanding male-female
relationship.'
...a fascinating book that offers hope and insight into
having whole and healed relationships.'
