Wonderful Marriage: A Guide to Building a Great Relationship That Will Last a Lifetime

Having read my fair share of books that offer perspectives and ideas on relationships, I read with interest this book by the Leed's. They are a wealth of heartfelt, tried and true experiences lovingly and thoughtfully scribed in offering to all of us. I've been a fan of Dr. Terry Real's work for some years now and have shared several of his books with my women and men friends alike. When I saw that that Terry Real had written the forward to the Leed's book and some of the "backstory" behind his coming to support this book, it piqued my interest even further. The outline for this book is simple, easily presented with no "sweeping" generalizations of either gender and just plain "good" stuff and an excellent resource for those in relationship and those looking to be in relationship. Respect and love is at the core of what the Leed's speak to and from. I highly recommend this book!

It's not too preachy or traditional, and it covers all areas of life--from sex to raising children to juggling the stresses of daily life.
