We have all seen couples tying a knot at a young age and live happily ever after, in spite of naysayers around them. And we have also seen couples do everything by book and still fail. Some soon, and some after a few hiccups. So what is it that separates a successful marriage from a broken one? Of course, there are a hundred reasons to why marriages break, and it is naïve to even think that we can answer that in a line or two. But success of most relationships hinges on good communication. If talks break down, it’s war!
Eva Lancaster believes that the secret of a successful marriage is a head-to-head and not heart-to-heart talk before tying the knot.

Marriages break up for various reasons. But it is a shame if they break up because the person is not honest. In cultures where arranged marriages are the norm, people are often seen lying through their teeth to get the other person to like them. But keeping up appearances is not easy and all hell breaks loose when the couple settles down in their daily life and the wedding high withdraws.
The author argues that asking pertinent questions, even the uncomfortable ones, ensures that you have a successful, happy marriage. Showing your true face is necessary for a happy union. There will always be differences, but the key is understanding what you are ready to compromise on and what is not at all open to debate.
Simple things like eating habits, views about who should work, and who is responsible for what can put off a seemingly perfect match. The author helps you with a list of these basic but most important questions and considerations that couples on the brink of beginning a married life should discuss. Although simple, many of us may put off these questions because they are too uncomfortable or we are just too immersed in the budding romance in our life.
A quick, breezy read that you can flip through on your next commute, the book definitely will add value and give the soon-to-be-married couples with a practical perspective on everything marriage.
