Rarely does an author have the opportunity to revise a book not once but twice. This edition contains the newest liturgies available from a variety of denominations, including the new Presbyterian marriage service. The bibliography of suggested resources contains some of the best books on preparing for marriage and working through issues in the first year of marriage, a strong emphasis of this manual.
