HELP FOR THOSE JUST GETTING MARRIED
If you've never been married and you're at all like me, you might think you know everything you need to know, but the whole experience feels just a LITTLE over your head! Admit it, you are excited, stressed, yet absolutely convinced this is the right thing, without question. I'm sure you're right. But I just have one thing to say to you that I hope you hear: Do a little work now and save a whole lotta work later!
Element #2 of a shatterproof marriage is The Right Kind of Love, which is essential if your remarriage is going to have a chance. On page 113 of the book, I compare unconditional love to the chemical element, hafnium. I describe the properties of this element and then explain, "Like hafnium, unconditional love gives your marriage the structural integrity it has to have if it is going to be shatterproof. It's easy to say that you should love unconditionally, but it is an entirely different matter to understand just how this is done. Marriage is full of hazardous conditions - both present and future - that make this marital 'element' essential. Without it, your marriage might perform just fine under ideal conditions, but when an unexpected severe test comes your way, the strength of your bond is torn to shreds. You have to understand what the properties of unconditional love are in detailed terms. Then your love will be the real McCoy instead of some substitute that does not hold up when times get tough."
I can say with confidence that your marriage MUST have all three elements to be able to withstand the test of time.. Your marriage must be "firing on all cylinders", or it will eventually fall apart. Take the time and find out whatever it is you need to learn so this does not happen again. The book shows you in detail how to do just that.
