Marriage: The Earthly Heaven (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781329760578)

PREFACE

This is such a funny world where for everything that we do we need a license, and for each and every license we go to school, spend hours, days and even years of studies, but that is not enough, we have to be subjugated to a test. If we pass this test we will be granted a diploma, a certificate or a license and then we will be qualified to practice whatever we have learned. A food handler is not allowed to work in a kitchen unless he/she passes a test on the rules and regulations of how to handle food and then he/she will be granted a permit to work in the food industry. A lawyer will spend years of intense studies and still would not be permitted to practice law unless he/she passes the bar exam. A physician, a pharmacist, a smog check tester, a hair stylist, a nurse, a dental assistant, a chiropractor, and mostly any kind of job that will affect any other individual would need an intense course of studies and an exam before a license is granted. But the most important of professions, the one on which the future of the country depends on, the one that the future of the society and the future of the family relies on, the one that causes happiness and pleasure or sadness and depression, the one that makes scholars and professionals or drug addicts and prostitutes of the children does not need a course of studies, but anyone can go and get a license, no questions asked. This most important license of them all is the MARRIAGE LICENSE.

It does not mean, however, that dooms-day is at the door. It only means that if marriage is not going to be taken seriously, the family as a whole will crumble from all the side effects of divorces, separations, quarrels and lack of communication. And this is why each individual who is married or thinks of marriage should learn its ABC-s regardless of whether the government will mandate a school program in all its high schools for that purpose or offer marriage courses with tests before it grants a marriage license.

Until we find other means, marriage will continue to be the only way for the continuance of the human survival as it is known today. There is no doubt that life will continue as long as the powerful among us will not use their ingenuity of mass destruction and turn our little planet into ashes. It is very important to know something about the history of mankind and figure out the truths and the lies that the media showers us with every single day. Once we figure the truth, it will be very easy to handle our lives in a more positive way. History was greatly distorted and this book tackles a few of those distortions so that marriage will be meaningful, significant and rewarding.

The book is full of real short stories, about different people and different problems, many people can and will identify with one or more of those real stories, simply because they are common, and each of them happened to too many people. The purpose was to expose those situations anonymously, find solutions and hope that they will benefit others before they fall in the same situation, and not to demote or promote the character of any of the readers.

This informative book is for all, married or single, rich or poor, religious or atheists even democrats or republicans, so as to live a very loving, rewarding and pleasant life, and so as to see the hidden problems that might lie ahead, and solve them before they destroy the family structure which is the basic foundation of the whole society and thus the whole country.
