*Condition Note: Book is clean and in excellent lightly used condition. Pages are yellowed.*

Having conducted many hours or pre-marital counseling, Bill and Carolyn Self decided to write a manual to be used in classes for those getting ready to be married. It is not only good advice, but it is sensible insight into the needs of nearlyweds. Their effort seeks to be realistic, Christian, and practical. The book can be used for group study by nearlyweds, church study classes, and home study groups, or it can be given to couples who are contemplating marriage to help them have a realistic appraisal of the road to their future.
Bill and Carolyn Self combine their years of wisdom gleaned from a happy marriage and make it available for each couple
