I have often wondered about the best time to write a book about marriage. When a couple is young, there is so much about marriage they have not yet experienced. They can still impart wisdom and teach lessons, of course, but there is so much of marriage that remains unknown to them. Yet when a couple is old, there is so much to marriage they have probably forgotten. Not only that, but so much of what was normal and accepted decades ago may no longer be relevant today. So I suppose there is something to be said for writing marriage books at all stages—from the early years, to the middle years, to the later years.
