Written for an audience of one -- Jessica Ruth Seep (soon to be Ekholm). Written from a father's heart to his daughter on the occasion of her marriage. Why would she read this book? Because he's her old man, he loves her dearly, he's always been there for her, and he's giving it to her straight. He's been around the block a few more times than she has and he mean to give her sensible counsel on a host of pertinent marriage-related subjects -- the nature of marriage, the priority of acceptance, conflict, roles, money, romance and sex, children, in-laws, communication, forgiveness, mutual submission, respect and honor, faithfulness, power games, dealing with setbacks, dreams and goals, and always and throughout, thinking about marriage from the perspective of faith. In another way, the audience for this kind of book is far more than one. There are myriads of parents who love their children dearly, have always been there for them, and who yearn to utilize the occasion of their marriages to give it to them straight. Perhaps this is the little book you would love to have written to your child. Perhaps this is the little book you would love your child to read.
