Review

Bride's Guide to Emotional Survival was amazingly helpful for me as a second time bride. All of the possible issues that I could face were covered in this book, along with "solutions" on how to handle each situation. This book is great whether it is your first or second marriage, or even to help you deal with daily issues that arise when two families merge together.

Help When I Needed It

This book came to my aid when my daughter was being married. Although it is intended for the bride, I found it very helpful in dealing with my daughter and the issues that she was facing. I have suggested this book to all of the families that I know who are going through this exciting, frustrating time of life

I felt so much better after reading this book.

Bride's Guide helped me navigate some tough situations with friends, family and money. It made me realize that our wedding isn't just about us. It is about molding a new place in our lives as husband and wife. A wedding is a social ritual and redefines the role of parent and child. It is important to resolve problems before the wedding, lest they taint the new marriage. With the help of this book my fiance and I decided not to elope and instead we are having a small wedding, enriching our relationship and improving our relationship with friends and family.
