Marcia Naomi Berger, MSW ’68, recently published her second book, Marriage Minded: An A to Z Dating Guide for Lasting Love (She Writes Press, 2021). It’s a clear, witty, and positive guide to help women (and men too) find a true life partner. The format is a literal A-Z primer – A is for Ambivalence (and for Anxiety and Awesome; B is for Balance, Boundaries, and Be Yourself; C is for Character, Clarity, and Curiosity, etc. Underlying issues affecting our behaviors and actions and how to change them are noted.
The writing is direct, wise, and thoroughly readable, a practical self-help primer in easily digestible, bite-sized sections. Helpful charts and exercises turn advice into action plans.
“Marriage Minded thus is recommended reading for a wide audience of women (and men, too): daters of any age, and also those who are already married and who want to make better choices and decisions that support the relationship.”
