“A great marriage is the cornerstone of a successful life. Yet, too many marriages fall apart just when the couple could be enjoying their lives the most and more and more men and women are avoiding marriage altogether. Why is modern marriage on the rocks? As a marriage and family counselor who has been helping couples for more than fifty years, I can tell you the simple reason is that the guidance we are giving men and women is flawed. There are thousands of marriage manuals available, but nearly all of them are focused on women. This one is different. The Essential Guide for the Married Man: Principles and Lessons for Navigating a Successful Marriage and a Meaningful Life, is for men. This important book recognizes that, contrary to myth, men are actually very good at creating a great marriage. They just need a manual that shows them how to do it. E. Paul Allerton is speaking from experience when he says, ‘Good men and women enter marriage with false expectations and misconceptions about how to create a successful marriage.’ Whether you are married or single, male or female, you need to read this book. Get one for yourself and one for your partner. You’ll be glad you did.”
