Longwood, FL (PRWEB) February 3, 2005 -- Seventy-five couples across the U.S. and Canada who’ve celebrated no less than their golden anniversary provide uncensored, unedited advice and insight on marriage in the newly-published coffee-table book "Everlasting Matrimony: Pearls Of Wisdom From Couples Married 50 years Or More" (Publisher: American Literary Press/Noble House; ISBN 1-56167-841-4). Unlike Dr. Phil, Dr. Laura or any other third-party marriage authority, this volume is the "real" experts, the “voices of experience” revealing the keys to marital longevity. Author Sheryl P. Kurland said, “’Everlasting Matrimony’ fills a ‘void’ in self-help marriage books. If you want to be a great artist, you take lessons from the masters. If you want to create a successful marriage, the best people to learn from are couples married a half century or longer. This book features 150 role models.” The couples – husbands and wives speaking separately – cover every aspect of marriage ranging from communication, sex and money to children, religion, hardships and much more. They represent a “sprinkling of America,” from a diversity of faiths, enthnicities and cultures. Along with their prose, the couples are pictured in “early” and “today” photographs. “’Everlasting Matrimony’ makes an ideal Valentine’s Day, engagement, wedding or anniversary or any special occasion gift,” said Ms. Kurland. An award-winning freelance writer and marketing consultant, Ms. Kurland earned a B.A. degree in Communications from the University of Georgia. She has written for companies and organizations in a variety of industries, and her works have been published by numerous magazines and newspapers. Her web site is www.everlastingmatrimony.com. Everlasting Matrimony is 160-pages, hard cover, and designed to resemble a wedding album. Priced at $39.95, the book can be purchased at bookstores and on the Internet at bookstore web sites including amazon.com.
