The Little Love Book for Husbands and Wives

There have been hundreds of books written on the subject of love and marriage over the years. In this modern age, which glorifies self-gratification and pleasure seeking, I feel like it is time to reexamine our basic concept of the most important of all human relationships, Marriage!

We get advice from every possible place on the subject. Yet, you have only a fifty-percent chance statistically, of having a successful marriage with the first person with whom you choose to take your vows. This book is written along traditional lines of thought. If you don’t want to look at it in this way, this book may not be for you. The contents will be something you might expect to hear from DR. LAURA, along with a little of the spicy philosophy of DR. RUTH, for good measure.  

You may be wondering what my qualifications are for writing this book. I never went to college. I never studied this subject formally. But, I am a student of human nature and I just celebrated my 48th wedding anniversary…and may I add…to the same spouse! I have seen many friends and relatives fail at making a marriage work after as many as thirty years to as little as one year.

There will be times in this writing when I will refer to a husband or wife individually. Unless I use one of the words such as “penis” or “vagina”, the statement will apply to both husbands and wives equally. You must also remember that this work was written by a man. Therefore, to some of you ladies, the material may appear sexist. I believe some sexist ideas are perfectly appropriate and healthy within marriage from both points of view. So, when you think I am being sexist, please be patient and read this little book with an open mind. I can assure you that I have the utmost respect for all women, and it is never my intent to degrade you or lessen your importance to the world. I am one man who thanks God, every day of my life, for creating you to be loved, and to love us in return. I hope that you consider my point of view and if this book helps one couple stay married, or get off to the right start, it will not have been written in vain.  

Although this IS NOT a sex manual, one chapter is devoted to married lovemaking. As adults who are about to spend a lifetime of sleeping together this is information needed to help ease the path of life together.
