With a gorgeous sateen finish and flex binding that make this book great for gift giving, What Every Bride Needs to Know was written especially for soon-to-be as well as new brides. It is their guide to all the things that happen after 'I do.' Through the application of the practical wisdom in this book, brides will become experts on what really makes their husbands tick, and enjoy the benefits of a great partnership. By taking an honest look at their family of origin---its unwritten codes, how it has shaped them as individuals, and the ways it affects their relationships with their husbands today---brides will learn how to speak their groom's 'language' and appreciate the qualities both husbands and wives bring to marriage. Susan DeVries and Bobbie Wolgemuth offer a solid, approachable look at improving communication skills, secrets for a great sex life, budgeting basics, dealing with in-laws, navigating tough times, and much more. Above all, brides will cultivate a spiritual unity that draws them closer to their husbands as they draw closer to God.
