LONGWOOD, FL--Too often, today's culture depreciates traditional marriage, family, and committed love. Because of this, many people don't know how to cultivate a true and lasting marriage. Within the pages of Always a Wedding ($14.99, paperback, 978-1-61215-069-7; $22.99, hardcover, 978-1-61215-070-3), a new book from Xulon Press, author Dr. James Lee Collins, readers will find an instructional and inspirational manual for a man and woman who want to successfully achieve their hopes and dreams in the journey of marriage. Practical guidelines and essential goals for developing loving dialogue and communication habits are outlined for couples who seek to grow together as best friends and marital partners. This book is a timely Christmas gift for any couple planning to get married as well as for any couple already married.
"The hope of this book is that those who seek true marriage will discover that this union is more than just living with someone," the author says. "It is a sacred bond that satisfies the deepest desires of one's heart. It is, therefore, worth all the adjustments, unselfish sacrifices, and generous investments a man and woman make for each other in order to receive the dividends of mutual love and devotion throughout all the circumstances of their lives."
"Life's best lessons are learned from experience," says Dr. Collins. Such is the basis of his credentials for writing this book. He has been in the process of learning about marriage for 43 years with his wife, Sandra. Together, they have learned what works and what doesn't work in cultivating a happy marriage. Additionally, he has attended numerous seminars on marriage and pastoral counseling, and has performed more than 2,200 wedding ceremonies. He has conducted thousands of counseling sessions with couples before and after marriage. These experiences have allowed him to learn with couples the marvelous and unique ways of giving birth to marriage and keeping it alive.
