Description:
How can we keep our love alive forever?
Karen Shedd, away at college, had recently become engaged. Looking forward to a long and happy union, she wrote to her father for advice.
Dr. Charlie Shedd, a popular minister and father of five, began to write Karen a series of letters--straight talk about love in marriage, the things that build it up and the that tear it down! Those letters were eventually published in a collection that soon became one of the most widely quoted and best-selling books or our time.

The Book Every Bride Should Own - I'm a religious pluralist, and even though this book was written by a Christian pastor, I found it (and still find it) extremely helpful in married life. It's inspirational, informative (esp. about men and how their minds work), and full of great advice.
I own multiple copies of this book. Why? My father gave me this book when I left home at 18. I will do the same for each of my daughters. It might be the greatest advice my father ever gave me, and I want to pass that on to the next generation.
The only people I think it might offend are narrow-minded feminists. People who don't want to recognize that men and women are not just anatomically different, but different in how their minds work, how they process information. If you're not able to see the DIFFERENCES between yourself and your spouse, then you definitely don't want this book.

Classic advice for the engaged - Ever wish you knew what to say? Maybe have you wanted to give good advice, or wished for good advice, but didn't know where to turn? A well-spoken minister wrote a series of letters to his daughter when she became engaged. I was given a copy of this book 31 years ago and I'm sending a copy to my niece who's recently become engaged. I think it is best to read one letter a day and thoroughly enjoy that note for the day.

Good Advice - Charles Shedd shares the wisdom he gained from a long successful marriage with his daughter, Karen, befpre her marriage. "Letters to Karen" gives advice on establishing and maintaining a healthy, Christian relationship with her future husband. This advice is not just about how to treat each other right. It deals with the doubts and fears a new wife has on the day she wakes up, realizing that she is married, and asks herself "What have I done?" There is advice for handling the trials and tribulations which every marriage goes through. I read this book before my marriage and felt that it contained the best pre-marital counselling I received. Twenty-nine years later, I purchased this book for my future daughter-in-law. I am hoping it will be as helpful to her as it was to me.

Lasting advice--and it worked for me - My grandmother gave me this book around 1966, soon after I married. It provided basic advice about marriage that I took to heart, and the advice and the marriage are still working after 37 years. I loaned my copy to someone years ago, and it never came back, but I just bought a replacement. There's another generation coming up that I need to loan this book to.
