From single to happily ever after . . . Any woman who wants to marry can . . . once she learns how. Marriage Minded's A to Z format, packed with warmth, wisdom, and humor, makes the process fun and informative. You will learn how to overcome obstacles, meet men, and date constructively; you'll read about single women of all ages who became happily married; and in Marcia Naomi Berger, you'll have a sensitive guide to creating the lasting, loving union you've always wanted. After her parents divorced, Berger became a long-term commitmentphobe who stayed single for many years. Now happily married for more than thirty-three years, this psychotherapist and clinical social worker's mission is to help others create marriages that fulfill them--emotionally, spiritually, physically, and materially.
Industry Reviews
". . . consistently friendly, with a hopeful tone."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Marriage Minded encourages readers beyond the initial realm of dating and selection and into the marriage itself, creating a thought-provoking review that will appeal to women (and also men) who are both single and looking, and married and seeking to improve their relationship. Marriage Minded thus is recommended reading for a wide audience of women (and men, too): daters of any age, and also those who are already married and who want to make better choices and decisions that support the relationship."
-Midwest Book Review
"Marriage Minded is uplifting and positive. It steers women in the right direction for what to look for in a partner and how to create a happy, lasting marriage. This book is light but certainly not lightweight. A wealth of thoughtful information is presented in small bits, which makes this book very reader friendly."
-Linda Bloom, coauthor of 101 Things I Wish I Knew When I Got Married
"This is the most important book to come out on dating and marriage and certainly long overdue. I am buying it to give to so many people who will benefit from its wisdom. It addresses so many different aspects of dating, marriage, and it does so in a language that is both elegant yet so relevant. I wish it could be required reading for college students as well. They certainly need the sage advice and common sense coaching it presents."
-Sarah Karmely, marriage educator and counselor and author of Words to Hear with Your Heart and Stories to Hear with Your Heart
"As an attorney/mediator who has helped couples 'un-hitch' for thirty years, I've seen how most people don't have the skills to maintain a long-lasting, loving marriage. Marriage Minded gives women excellent advice, helpful examples, and important steps into becoming happily married. Author Marcia Naomi Berger, an expert therapist, shows you what it takes to create a lifelong love affair."
-Mari Frank, Esq., coauthor of Fighting for Love: Turn Conflict into Intimacy - A Couple's Guide
"Berger's writing is professional and informative. She offers knowledge of relationships, self-psychology, and inner awareness. Her tone gives the reader a sense of talking with a wise and trusted friend at their kitchen table. This book is relevant to both men and women, single and married. Marriage Minded deserves to be displayed in the front of bookstores."
-Dorie Rosenberg, Marriage and Family Therapist
"Marriage Minded begins with self-understanding, the first step for anyone seeking a fulfilling, lasting union. You'll gain intelligent, practical approaches for dating, committing, and staying happily married. The book is research-based yet practical and fun to read."
-Susan Page, author of If I'm So Wonderful, Why Am I Still Single?
"For women hoping to settle down with a man, this balanced book offers down-to-earth guidance in an easy-to-read, A-to-Z format. Berger's wise advice will help build a healthy relationship."
-Matthew D. Johnson, PhD, professor of psychology at Binghamton University and author of Great Myths of Intimate Relationships: Dating, Sex, and Marriage
"This book, unparalleled in its thoroughness, provides wisdom and skills for a wonderful marriage. Berger excels in giving clear, practical guidance in bite-size pieces."
-Edward M. Hallowell, MD, author of Delivered from Distraction
