Marriage as an Institution Marriage is ordained by the creator to bless and enhance mankind ultimately. It is an institution setup by God Himself to make every human animal to have feelings of pleasures and blessings of peace and joy. The ACTS of marriage are the activities programmed by the institutor to help man relax and have pleasures. Everyone who wishes for the ultimate satisfactions and fulfilment in life should be interested in this Holy matrimony. ACTS can be defined as the dos and don'ts of an institution. The ACTS of marriages are the activities or things done in marital relationships as a living institution. This book is prepared and arranged to encourage everyone involved in matrimonial affairs to see the marriage institution as a place for their ultimate successes and rejoicing. The entire arrangement of this book on marriage is structured in five parts or volumes to suit the needs of all at every level of the marriage dealings. Books one and two are for introductions into the domestic union called marriage; where all due corrections and proper planning before the real commitments are to be made. Book one teaches the ACTS of getting a suitable partner to marry. Book two; talks about the "ACTS" for preparations to rightly enter into the institution of marriage. These parts are for the "singles and still searching". Book three is to teach the couples how to work it out well. Book four teaches how to enjoy the ACTS of Lovemaking in marriage. Books three and four are for the already wedded couples. Book five explains how to make the home ultimately happy and successful inside the unending associations. Marriage is the only institution where graduation certificate is never offered. The marriage institution is ordained by God to give ultimate successes and rejoicing to all that get committed to the union. I wish to counsel the reader at this point to religiously and profusely read this book. Whoever reads this book will be greatly inspired and imparted for happiness and will surely have a future that is full of "successes". My aim is to educate as many as possible to see the marriage union as a place of peace and pleasures. The unpleasant activities happening in some marriages have made some men to become haters of women and turned some women to be haters of men too. I strongly believe that these ills can be corrected and the marriage institution can be heavenly as it was originally ordained to be. Marriage is supposed to be a place of relaxation and rejoicing.

What started as a goofy experiment had such good results that Sutherland began using the training techniques with all the people in her life, including her mother, her friends, her students, even the clerk at the post office. Full of fun facts, fascinating insights, hilarious anecdotes, and practical tips, What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love, and Marriage reveals the biggest lesson Sutherland learned: The only animal you can truly change is yourself.

Am I with the right person? Will our love last? Men and women in love are haunted by these questions. Love -- especially why it blossoms in relationships and why it later dies -- is a mystery to them. Will Our Love Last? A Couple's Road Map solves this mystery by giving readers a new understanding of love -- an understanding they can actually use to evaluate the soundness of their relationships and to answer confidently the crucial questions that mystified them before. Based on hundreds of cases in his twenty-four years as a marital therapist and twenty-nine years in his own happy marriage, Sam R. Hamburg, Ph.D., explains how compatibility is the key to lasting love. He shows how compatibility on three major dimensions -- the Practical Dimension, the Sexual Dimension, and the Wavelength Dimension -- is essential to the mutual understanding and affirmation that keep love alive, and he leads readers through a simple but systematic procedure for assessing their compatibility with a romantic partner in these crucial relationship areas. Dr. Hamburg introduces a new technique, The Hand Rotation Exercise, to help readers express their degree of compatibility and then convey that visually to their partner. In addition, he presents two new original techniques for working through relationship conflicts and coming to agreement on difficult issues: His Way/Her Way and The Long Conversation. Written in a clear, direct style that is free of jargon, Will Our Love Last? empowers readers to make important relationship decisions that are intellectually and emotionally informed. Will Our Love Last? will help couples trying to decide if they should take the next step to a more committed relationship. It will aid individuals embarking on a new relationship, or who are between relationships, to evaluate the rightness of a new or prospective partner. And it will assist people who are already in committed relationships to make an honest assessment of their prospects for happiness with their current partner. People have it in their power to make sure that they truly are with the right person. Will Our Love Last? shows the way.
