Preface
This practical book was written for You because you have decided to share your life with the person you have chosen AND to enjoy being together for many years (till death do us part).
In many fairytales the ending is magic: they marry and live happily ever after… the fairytale is over but the story is only beginning… How do they manage to be happy ever after? What is their secret?
In fairytales, couples often come from two different countries or places. This means that both the Prince and his Princess have two different cultures but they do live happily ever after… Dream or may be lie?
In this book I will describe a situation similar, but true, that of two people from two different parts of the world. They fall in love and marry. They want to be happy and be a family – a happy family. However, they don’t know HOW. This book is to help you to understand the way to happiness for two people in a permanent relationship. This book concerns itself with the science and the art of happy family life and intimate relationships. Science means an exact knowledge. Art means feelings and inspirations. You need both parts to form a happy family. It is about learning and practicing. It unlocks hidden secrets which you can use for a successful future.
Does this book also concern couples with the same nationality? Yes, it does, because some aspects of family life are so fundamental that the partners could be coming from next door but at the same time they could be so different as if they were from two different planets.
Why was this book written?
It was written because there is an urgent need to help people looking for a permanent relationship. Every third marriage ends up in separation or divorce after a few years. Russian wisdom says, that you are supposed to eat together one “pud” (an old fashioned Russian measure for 16 kilos) of salt before you can say that you know your partner in marriage well. People eat an average of 5 grams of salt a day. Two people eat 10 grams. It takes at least 4 years to eat together 16 kilos of salt. Statistics show the peak divorce rate between the 3rd and the 5th year of marriage. Conclusion: you do not know the person you married. Is it not a good idea to know how to build a long-lasting relationship? I think it is wise to spend your time to learn and to become an expert in this subject.
