Don’t rush into marriage until you’re certain you’re making the right choice for your future

Listen the first key point

Marriage is like a double-edged sword; it can be sweet, and it can be bitter, depending on what the persons involved make it to be. A successful marriage is a great source of joy and untold happiness. But a frustrating marriage, on the other hand, is the closest experience any two people can have to the horror of hell. Yes, it’s that serious. And that’s why you need to be extra careful when choosing a life partner.

Far too many singles go into marriage blank. Many people don’t think about what they want their marriage to look like in the next 10, 20, 40, or 50 years. We have long-term goals for our careers, finances, and every other thing we deem important. But when it comes to marriage, the average single person just knows that they want a “happy home.” Ask them “How?” and they won’t have much to say. That’s terrible, but it’s about to change for you with this summary.

Admittedly, the “in-love” feeling gets us on an emotional high. Some people get off this rollercoaster earlier than others, but research has shown that by the 24-month mark, you’d have come to the point where you aren’t entirely under the influence of your emotions. It’s at this point that you begin to see the seemingly hidden flaws in your partner, as well as other elements of your relationship that you easily overlooked in the first 24 months.
Every infatuated person believes their partner is the best human being in the world until they get off the emotional cliff.
It's important to take things slow and wait for the reactions in your brain to calm down before making a lifelong commitment. But it's even more effective if you can learn from an experienced counselor. That way, you save yourself a lot of time and emotional trauma. That's where this summary comes in. What you're about to read will:
• Equip you with the wisdom you need to decide what exactly you should want in a lifelong relationship.
• Show you traits to imbibe for a successful marriage.
• Reveal why soulmate is a myth, and show you why there's not just one person you can marry.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
