After twenty years as an LDS divorce attorney and facing terminal cancer, Mark Shields writes the marriage guidance he most wants his five daughters to have. Framed as a fairy-tale journey toward "happily ever after" (eternity), the book identifies ten common marriage killers—selfishness, midlife crises, covenant drift, pornography, debt, and more—and pairs each with gospel principles, prophetic teachings, and practical advice. Warm, blunt, and hopeful, it champions temple attendance, daily prayer, mercy, and self-examination as the surest safeguards against divorce. Written by a divorce attorney who has seen over a thousand marriages fail—now sharing what actually kills them A dying father's legacy of marriage wisdom for his five daughters Frames marriage as a fairy-tale journey to 'happily ever after,' with every threat given a memorable villain 'There is no such thing as an unhappy couple who regularly and worthily attends the temple'—a bold, quotable central promise “There is no such thing as an unhappy couple who regularly and worthily attends the temple.”Perfect for a married Latter-day Saint couple—or engaged/newlywed LDS couple—wanting practical, gospel-centered guidance to protect their marriage and reach the temple together.
