From: Charlie
Michaels, co-Author of “Mastering Marriage” My husband, Mike Brown, and I are ordinary people with an extraordinary gift to share with your readers and students: the clues to having a GREAT marriage. No couple gets a second chance to start their marriage off right. Most of the disappointments we suffer in our lives are not because the actual situation is so terrible but stem from the disillusionment that sets in when the reality differs from our expectations. This is true in marriage also. Almost all of us have unrealistic impressions of marriage that developed over our lifetimes based on movies, TV, magazines and newspapers. In addition, not many people have given any real thought to what they personally expect and want from married life. They just get married. We believe the major cause of the early differences that can grow into marriage- ending problems is that people did not properly prepare for being married. This isn’t because they didn’t care, because surely they did, or because they were so busy, which they probably were. The truth is they simply didn’t know what to do. Their relationship will be better if they educate themselves on to how to prepare for and strengthen their marriage. In just a few hours, readers will understand more about how to be happily married than most couples ever know. As you read our book, you will see our
suggestions are straight-forward,
easy to implement and powerful. There are personal stories and cartoons
to illustrate points. Just because it’s a serious topic doesn’t
mean it shouldn’t be fun to read. A sampling of secrets in Mastering Marriage:

We didn’t start out as likely candidates to be writing a book on this topic. My dating history ran from comical to sad to really pathetic. At my high school graduation dinner, my classmates named me “the person most likely to have her love life made into a soap opera.” And that was before things got bad! Ultimately, I was angry, hurt and both hated men and needed their approval. I lacked positive role models and had no apparent relationship skills. I am bossy, demanding, strong willed, impatient, intolerant of nonsense and a perfectionist. I also have many positive traits, I’m sure. Mike went to an all boys’ high school and admits to being backwards and awkward with women. He has an explosive temper, is bossy, argumentative, strong willed, work obsessed, impatient, intolerant of nonsense and a perfectionist His need to excel at work caused him to put in long hours at the office and destroyed his first marriage even though, by his own admission, he had a good wife. Back then, we were emotionally challenged. Mike’s divorce devastated him and I, though never married, had perfected the art of selecting unsuitable partners. Yet we have been happier than we thought possible for 25 years and, based on our personalities, this is no small feat. The above is nothing, however, compared to what we have persevered through over the years. A failed business, near bankruptcy, living out of our car for a year, a twelve year remodeling project, my eight year bout with clinical depression and giving my mother hospice care for the last six months of her life are the short list. Despite facing these and other obstacles that could have destroyed a weaker marriage, we have never felt a threat to our relationship. The goals of our book, Mastering
Marriage, is that their love and respect grows stronger every year, that they
stay happily married for life, and, that their children grow up blessed with the
security and joy that comes from a loving, two parent home. To read more about our products click below
