Happily Ever After by Toben Heim,Joanne Heim Pdf

Most of us enter marriage with great expectations of how perfect life together will be. But unless you talk about those expectations, there's little hope of them being met. While you may imagine big family dinners on Sunday afternoons, your spouse may be looking forward to football and pizza on the couch. So how do you resolve these contradicting ideas? The key is to examine your expectations for the many aspects of marriage and talk about them with your spouse. Only then can you begin to build a foundation for your new life together. In Happily Ever After, Toben and Joanne Heim look back to their first year of marriage and share their own struggles and triumphs as they dealt with their expectations. Paired with fresh experiences of newly married couples and the wisdom of couples married for years, they model how couples can learn to communicate with each other about the issues that often define the first year of marriage -- things like money, family history, sex, spirituality, and more. This book is packed with honest anecdotes, intriguing questions, and exercises designed to help you understand and appreciate what makes your spouse different -- and special. Whether you're newly engaged or newly married, build a foundation of understanding that will last a lifetime! Book jacket.

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens Pdf

One of Charles Dickens’s most fascinating novels, Great Expectations follows the orphan Pip as he leaves behind a childhood of misery and poverty after an anonymous benefactor offers him a chance at the life of a gentleman. From the young Pip’s first terrifying encounter with the convict Magwitch in the gloom of a graveyard to the splendidly morbid set pieces in Miss Havisham’s mansion to the magnificently realized boat chase down the Thames, Great Expectations is filled with the transcendent excitement that Dickens could so abundantly provide. Written in 1860, at the height of his maturity, it also reveals the novelist’s bittersweet understanding of the extent to which our deepest moral dilemmas are born of our own obsessions and illusions. This edition includes Dickens’s original, discarded conclusion to the novel, the 1907 Everyman preface by G. K. Chesterton, and twenty illustrations by F. W. Pailthorpe.
