DESCRIPTION

Based on the back of the book: 

In earlier times a man and woman could simply fall in love and get married. But today, marriage is less like walking next door and more like climbing a mountain. Mountain climbing is great-but the unprepared can freeze to death on the mountainside. Only spiritually and emotionally strong marriages survive.

Dennis McCallum and Gary DeLashmutt's honest advice has helped thousands of couples get ready for marriage, and the marriage failure rate among couples who have used their material is dramatically low. You can build a successful marriage on God's foundations. But you need to reject relational myths that stand in your way:

-Romantic feelings are the best test in choosing a mate.

-Physical and emotional attraction can measure a relationship's intimacy.

-Living together is a good compatibility check.

-God will protect you from painful consequences of bad choices.

Even if your wedding day is years off, The Myth of Romance tests your readiness of Christian marriage, life's most intimate love. If you are already married, you will discover how to move ahead by building a lasting unity between you and your spouse. And whether you are single or married, you will find out how to stop a fruitless search for a mythyical "true love" and to focus on building the relational skills that make marriage work.
