The Mother-of-the-Bride Book

The honeymoon's over. Now what? Couples who spend months--even years--planning their weddings are often unprepared for the transition to married life. As Sharon Naylor shows, however, the first year of marriage doesn't have to be a gauntlet of conflict and unmet expectations. As Naylor explains in Home from the Honeymoon, newlyweds can choose to focus on all the romantic firsts they're enjoying together: setting up their household, celebrating holidays, and savoring their new social life as a married couple. And they can survive--and learn lifelong lessons from--the inevitable battles over matters large (sex, money, meddlesome in-laws) and small (clutter, weekend plans, what color to paint the living room). Because the book is also a journal--with lots of space for jotting down milestones and memories--it will be a keepsake that married couples will relish revisiting throughout all their years together.
