Should I Get Married? by M Blaine Smith

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.

Blaine Smith's long career has included giving seminars and lectures, speaking at conferences, counseling, and writing. He is author of nine books, including Knowing God's Will (original and revised editions), Should I Get Married? (original and revised editions), The Yes Anxiety, Overcoming Shyness, The Optimism Factor, One of a Kind, and Marry a Friend, as well as numerous articles (all books except Marry a Friend published originally by InterVarsity Press). These books have been published in more than thirty English language and international editions. He is also lecturer for Guidance By The Book, a home study course with audio cassettes produced by the Christian Broadcasting Network as part of their Living By The Book series.
