Before You Take The Plunge - Stephen M Dupree - Bog

The basic nature of human relationships, highlighting marriage but applicable to all, explained and explored in a practical and usable manner. The book is written to be an enjoyable read while still informing. The book functions well as a guide book for those seeking to counsel couples/individuals on the non-religious aspects of relationships. It does not conflict with any religious teachings of which the author is aware and is not based on or derived from any of those religious teachings. The book also functions well as a workbook for couples who wish to develop their attraction into a lasting, mutually committed relationship. By viewing a variety of observed or experienced situations and interactions through the lens of various chapters of the book, pitfalls and common mistakes can be avoided. This book is an easy and interesting read. As it is intended to be approachable by all, it is not a huge tome such as might be used for teaching a psychology or sociology class. It is meant to be used by individuals at any educational level. The individual chapters can stand alone and may be read and applied outside of the context of the whole book.
