The First Five Years

Make the Love Investment That Lasts a Lifetime. The first five years of marriage can make or break a couple, but this valuable resource offers readers the tools they need to build a love that lasts a lifetime. Every couple plants seeds of success or failure in the first five years of their marriage. If they lack basic communication skills and the ability to solve conflicts in areas like sex, finances, and emotional intimacy, they won't make it past the five-year-mark. Authors, speakers, and columnists Bill and Pam Farrel offer sound, simple-to-apply advice to help couples establish firm foundations for their relationships. Based on their own successful twenty-five-year-marriage, Bill (who is also a marriage counselor) and Pam have developed strong principles for staying the course when life challenges their relationship. Lively, fun, and practical for newlyweds anywhere in The First Five Years, this book is the best investment a couple can make in building a happy, long-lasting marriage.
