Is marriage the Jack Kevorkian of romance? Why not just skip marriage and go straight to sex? How do you get fantasy to stay alive while living in the reality of marriage? What about plastic surgery? What is okay for a married couple to pursue in order to enhance their sex life? Can we live happily ever after, or is that just a myth from the fantasy world of fairytales and movies? These are some of the questions REAL Marriage seeks to tackle. We explore these questions not by talking about marriage in general but by talking about our marriage. We attempt to be REAL with you so that you can see the highs and lows of our REAL marriage. The honesty of this book is brutal at times. We sometimes cringe at our own story even as we read it now. However, we believe that, in the end, REAL marriage is possible for every married couple. We are endeavoring to experience it, and you can as well. The story of your marriage will never be the same after you pursue REAL. Fantasy can meet reality in your marriage if you are willing to live it. The book will show you how.
