Should I Get Married? M. Blaine Smith Revised-print-on-demand edition

A Campus Life 1990 Book of the Year! Here's an indispensable book for any Christian contemplating marriage or seeking guidance in finding a life partner. Drawing from personal experience and his years of counseling singles and couples, Blaine Smith takes a refreshingly candid and openhearted stance as he helps you think through these and other questions:

• Are the two of you compatible?
• Are your expectations realistic?
• Should dating be part of the courtship process?
• What if one of you has been divorced?
• How can you deal with the fear of commitment?
• How do you find God's will in all this?

This revised edition tackles the tough questions single Christians face today in a culture that often idolizes personal fulfillment and devalues marriage commitment. Smith's common-sense approach, informed by biblical principles, debunks myths about marriage while offering wise counsel on marriage versus singleness, friendship and dating, compatibility, expectations, fear, problem-solving, communication and compassion.
