MARRIAGE ISN’T FOR YOU by Seth Adam Smith
When you read the title of this book, you might think it’s all about why a person shouldn’t get married. In fact, it’s quite the opposite explaining reasons why a person should marry.
This charming book came to be through a conservation the author, Seth Adam Smith, had with his father when he was having doubts about whether or not to marry. He was concerned whether or not he was making the right decision and if his future bride was the right person for him.
The author’s father informed him that he was being selfish and explained that "Marriage isn't for you." He went on to clarify that marriage is for the one you love, it’s about making them happy and your future family.
From that conversation, the author began to re-examine his relationship and what he wanted out of it. He realized he was making the right decision and now for the right reasons. With that advice, Seth posted his thoughts online and they went viral.
Seth’s thoughts on the poignant advice, combined with beautiful color images, have transformed into a lovely hardcover book. The book is filled with delightful quotes and words of insight. The 48-page book is the perfect gift for anyone who hopes to be in love one day, someone just wanting to make their relationship stronger, a couple newly engaged, or someone celebrating an anniversary.
This inspirational book will have you pondering your own feelings and exploring your thoughts on want it really means to share your love. What isn’t for you can make you happy.

The best advice I ever heard is. "The last thing you say to your partner at night is the most important thing you've said all day."
ReplyDeleteThat's a great way of looking at marriage. Sounds like a great book!
ReplyDeleteHis father gave some smart advice. It is what you can do for the other person, not you.
ReplyDeleteThe wedding ceremony is definitely not for the dudes!
And marriage just rocks.
