Description

17 Things to Know Before You Get Married by Dr. Alix Pierre is a practical, faith-informed guide that examines marriage as a social institution rather than a purely spiritual one. Drawing on decades of pastoral counseling, teaching, and personal experience, Dr. Pierre challenges common religious assumptions and addresses why many marriages fail. The book explores why people marry, different types of marriages, choosing a spouse wisely, understanding temperament, sexual realities, financial and social pressures, and the stages every marriage faces. Written for singles, engaged couples, and married readers alike, it offers candid guidance to help readers make informed decisions and avoid lifelong regret.
