Marriage Actually - An honest look at marriage

Book Giveaway! Generation NeXt Marriage

by Bald Man on April 1st, 2008

Deborah at Books Movies and Chinese Food is giving away a marriage book. Generation NeXt Marriage, by Tricia Goyer, aims to tackle the unique challenges Generation X faces when it comes to having success in their marriages. Five quick hits:

1. Gen Xers saw more divorces than successful marriages.
2. Without role models, many GenXers turned to music, movies and television for examples of healthy relationships.
3. Our teen relationships were intense and often included sexuality, leading to intense breakups and the resulting baggage.
4. Gen Xers were starved for quality time, so they appreciate balance.
5. Gen Xers were labeled the “slackers” and the “grunge” generation.

I haven’t read the book, but Goyer is definitely writing to my demographic. Growing up on the other side of the 60’s Cultural Revolution created a new world, and we slackers are the vanguard. My own experience doesn’t reflect all of the points above, but I know plenty whose did.

Click over, and see if you can’t win yourself a book!
