Download or read book Building Bridges in Your Marriage written by Alban Ndukwu C Onwuliri and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-10-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written with a deep concern for all married couples especially the younger generation who seem not to understand their spouses even after many years in a marital relationship. Though, various survey reports show millions of reasons why divorce has become a pleasurable act and marriage a mere social contract that they can revoke and walk away from any time they like especially when it becomes inconvenient for them. The fact remains that no single individual or couple is ever happy with a failed relationship. This guide has been written to help educate and correct this perception and show the direction for couples to follow. It has been divided into four (4) Sections comprising several chapters. Section one deals with a general understanding of marriage. Section two deals with marriage in the Catholic Church while Section three deals with relationship management in the family and contains rich information on the basis and practicalities of human relationships. It gives a theological and biblical insight into marriage as a covenant and not a simple or social contract and the essence and importance of a healthy family rooted in love, peace, patience, unity, and understanding. The fourth Section deals with problems in marriage relationships and how you can build bridges and fill the cracks in your marriage to have your dream home. It is believed that when these are well understood in the beginning, young and intending couples would have shielded themselves against the obstacles to a happy marriage, and thus, many marriages would have been saved from collapse and helped in preserving the integrity of the marriage institution and, by extension, the Christian family, the last bastion of hope for the ailing human society, and offering a guide, especially to young adults and marriage instructors.

Book excerpt: The setting of this book, "Verses of Glorious Marriage," is a unique perspective that every interested reader will find to be a true guide towards a successful marriage. It is a rare, luscious presentation designed to promote the true essence of marriage. In this book, the author, Prof. Iyke Nathan Uzorma (Harbinger of the Last Covenant), takes a deep plunge into the spiritual, philosophical, and practical aspects of marriage in the universal empire of humanity. 'Verses of Glorious Marriage" tells us the main reason why some forces are engaging in battle against marriage in our world, what love and respect do in the maintenance of unity among couples, and much more. Furthermore, the author took pains to tread on the precarious terrain of the controversial issue of the equality of man and woman, neither essentially stepping on the toes of the former nor over stretching the elasticity of the latter's pride and place in the matrimonial home. Since the issue of marriage is multidimensional, the resolve of the "Harbinger of the Last Covenant" to sustain a wider approach necessitated the exposition of deep mysteries contained in this book.

Download or read book Marriage in Past Present and Future Tense written by Janet Carsten and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage globally is undergoing profound change, provoking widespread public comment and concern. Through the close ethnographic examination of case studies drawn from Africa, Asia, Europe and North America, Marriage in Past, Present and Future Tense places new and changing forms of marriage in comparative perspective as a transforming and also transformative social institution. In conditions of widespread socio-political inequality and instability, how are the personal, the familial and the political co-produced? How do marriages encapsulate the ways in which memories of past lives, present experience and imaginaries of the future are articulated? Exploring the ways that marriage draws together and distinguishes history and biography, ritual and law, economy and politics in intimate family life, this volume examines how familial and personal relations, and the ethical judgements they enfold, inform and configure social transformation. Contexts that have been partly shaped through civil wars, cold war and colonialism – as well as other forms of violent socio-political rupture – offer especially apt opportunities for tracing the interplay between marriage and politics. But rather than taking intimate family life and gendered practice as simply responsive to wider socio-political forces, this work explores how marriage may also create social change. Contributors consider the ways in which marital practice traverses the domains of politics, economics and religion, while marking a key site where the work of linking and distinguishing those domains is undertaken.

Lucky and her husband, Krishna, are gay. They present an illusion of marital bliss to their conservative Sri Lankan–American families, while each dates on the side. It’s not ideal, but for Lucky, it seems to be working. She goes out dancing, she drinks a bit, she makes ends meet by doing digital art on commission. But when Lucky’s grandmother has a nasty fall, Lucky returns to her childhood home and unexpectedly reconnects with her former best friend and first lover, Nisha, who is preparing for her own arranged wedding with a man she’s never met. As the connection between the two women is rekindled, Lucky tries to save Nisha from entering a marriage based on a lie. But does Nisha really want to be saved? And after a decade’s worth of lying, can Lucky break free of her own circumstances and build a new life? Is she willing to walk away from all that she values about her parents and community to live in a new truth? As Lucky—an outsider no matter what choices she makes—is pushed to the breaking point, Marriage of a Thousand Lies offers a vivid exploration of a life lived at a complex intersection of race, sexuality, and nationality. The result is a profoundly American debut novel shot through with humor and loss, a story of love, family, and the truths that define us all.
