An Old Bachelor's Thoughts on Love, Marriage, and Compatibility: (for what it's worth) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798385043422)

My Thoughts on Love, Marriage, and Compatibility It stands to reason that to get good practical advice, you should look to someone who's been there and done it. With all the qualified and experienced pastors, councilors, sociologists, etc. who have written on love and marriage, why should a lifelong bachelor with no specific education on the subject bother to write on it? First, just to explain my views since I have difficulty doing so in person. Also, it's my observation that no one is so ignorant that a wise person can't learn something of value from him. So, I wrote this for those friends who can glean wisdom from the most unpromising sources. It has quite a different perspective than most so, for what it's worth, there may be something here that's not in scholarly works. While divorce was multiplying, marriage books and counseling by marriage experts were too, almost all by married people. That says inside the box thinking isn't doing enough. It's easier to think outside the box when you live outside the box. The main thrust of this booklet is this; the more Christians love the Lord, the more compatible they are, period: and the more they value the things of this world, this life, good or bad, the more those things will come between them. At the same time, God will bless those who's courtship and marriage model the union of Christ and His Church, and not those that don't, even when those attitudes, good or bad, were acquired as a cultural norm while growing up and not as a well thought out belief. It's God's first purpose for marriage to symbolize and in believers demonstrate that blessed relationship so we all have a way to believe in what would otherwise be beyond comprehension. It's very much a love story.
