Recent brides have told me that they wish someone had shared a few suggestions with them. For this reason, I want to include the following hints: • Make all your wedding preparations far enough in advance so that there are no last-minute details for which you are responsible. • Both the bride and groom should [...]
Two things should be said about the children in this discussion of sex and marriage. First, they should be in the proper place in the line of priorities.
