Every couple I''ve ever married typically has expectations of long-term success. I know of no one who utters under his or her breath, "I can''t wait for this marriage to die," as he or she walks deliberately down the aisle. That would be absurd! They might think that there may be a bit of an initial adjustment, but they genuinely believe that it will be a good life together. Prayerfully, they hope for a very happy life indeed. This book addresses the well-intentioned innocence and the poorly-informed ignorance that we all face, as we enter married life. The preconceived ideas, personal expectations, erroneous assumptions, misinformed understandings, and faulty perceptions of reality all serve to confuse, disappoint, and would even destroy the fabric of emotional trust and happiness that our soul desperately craves. As you enter this world of Marital Death and Marital Life, many of you will wonder if I live in your house. No, but I live in my house, and experience many of the same things, because we are all male or female and are generally poorly prepared for marriage. This book, if you choose to follow it, will help clarify, teach, and correct that which is broken, and provide renewed trust, continual hope, and a refreshed deeper love. Be mindful that we are all "failers," but only a "failure" when we quit. It is almost always, too soon to quit.

Mr. Willy Wonka might be a genius with chocolate, but Charlie and his family don''t trust his flying skills one bit. And right now, he''s at the helm of a giant glass elevator that''s picking up speed and hurtling through space with Charlie and the entire Bucket family stuck inside! Roald Dahl''s uproarious sequel to "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is certain to delight and entertain a new generation of readers. "From the Hardcover edition."
