Wickham is a natural teacher who wants to help others.  
It is this side of Wickham’s persona that moved/motivated him to write this book.  Wickham
saw a need and wrote this book to help couples engaging in a new marriage to build strong
relationships based on honest communication.  There is a plethora of books based on love.  
There are hundreds of books based on rebuilding marriages that are failing.  This book was
written to prevent marriages from suffering common, avoidable pitfalls by encouraging honest
discussion on a variety of subjects.  It was also written to highlight common topics that many,
if not most, newlyweds face – but seldom discuss.  From very serious topics (like saving and
investing) to relatively light topics (like who’s going to wash the dishes), these issues can
cause tension, arguments and worse in a marriage.  “If my book can help couples to enjoy a
better relationship, then I am eternally grateful.”
This book is not intended to tell a newlywed couple what they have to do in order to have a
successful marriage. This book is not instructional in that sense.  This book highlights many areas
and topics that should be discussed before getting married and through out the duration of your
marriage – especially in the earlier years of a marriage while you’re still negotiating your life
together as a married couple.  I believe these topics largely go unspoken or are not communicated
and simply are not at all thought of or assumed.  Because of that, each of you getting married may
have your own preconceived notions.  If your preconceived notions and your partner
's
preconceived notions don’t match up, that’s where problems arise.  Neither of you is necessarily
“right or wrong” but both of you won’t be happy or satisfied in that specific area until it is
resolved.  Hopefully, this book will identify the areas where there are discrepancies in how you
look at particular areas regarding your relationship and living together as a married couple.  Once
the areas are identified, you can be creative in finding solutions such that both of you are fulfilled
and your individual needs and the needs of your relationship are satisfied – hopefully before it
mushrooms or blows up into a major issue.

You can create the best marriage ever!  Great marriages don't happen by accident.  You have to
plan it - then work the plan!
Good luck!!!
