Product Description
by Todd Bauerle (Author)
This book, like no other available for those contemplating marriage, provides practical questionnaires and exercises that uncover those sensitive topics and issues that if not explored prior to marriage, can jeopardize the marriage. Pulling from ancient wisdom of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and C.S. Lewis combined with the challenging and strategic questions provides lovers a chance to see through the infatuation, lust, and desire that prevent rational, balanced, objective thinking and acting.
Have you ever lusted after something, rushed to purchase it, and then had buyers remorse?
We all have. You don't want marriage remorse.
Intentionally and honestly completing the questions and exercises provides you the best chance of not making a mistake. Better yet, if he/she is the right one, this will accelerate the development of your relationship.
What qualifies a retired investment advisor to give you relationship and marriage advice? Todd Bauerle should be divorced based on the common reasons given for divorcing. His marriage has overcome the perils of a Yankee marrying a Southern Belle (Bless your heart), a special needs child and a near miss SIDS event.
Any of which could have caused a split. Her Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), breast cancer, and chronic pain syndrome hasn't broken he and his wife's marriage either. They picked the right one from the beginning and have faced family suicide, strokes, heart attacks, divorces, addictions, medical malpractice, car wrecks. They ran a business together until she could no longer work, managing tens of millions of dollars through every market crash since 1984. Counseling hundreds of families over a 37-year career as a Certified Financial Planner and Investment Advisor, he learned vicariously through his client's lives. Rarely were the most important conversations about stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, but about real life. About newborns and funerals; weddings and divorces, graduations and flunking out; highs and lows, richer and poorer; promotions and being fired; financial and sexual infidelity. You shouldn't dare get married without reading it.
