The First Five Years Make the Love Investment That Lasts a Lifetime

Every couple plants seeds of success or failure in the first five years of their marriage.

Based on their own successful twenty-five-year-marriage, Bill (who is also a marriage counselor) and Pam have developed strong principles for staying the course when life challenges their relationship. Lively, fun, and practical for newlyweds anywhere in THE FIRST FIVE YEARS, this book is the best investment a couple can make in building a happy, long-lasting marriage.
