It examines sexual development and intimacy, common personality pitfalls, family-background and occupational influences, and the traits linked to marital satisfaction, while warning against mismatches and high-risk character types. Readers are shown how to test themselves and prospective mates, interpret results, and prepare emotionally and practically for marriage and early married life. Appendices list further reading and counseling resources to support couples before and after marriage.
