The foundation of a happy marriage is honesty. Both spouses must be reliable, responsible, and resilient. A healthy marriage is a team effort. It takes hard work and selflessness. I find it interesting to read advice from marriage experts with many degrees and are on their third or fourth marriage. The purest knowledge and understanding we will find from good examples and experience. When you talk to couples that have been happily married for many years, you will find some commonalities and some differences. Every marriage is unique because it is made up of two individuals. That is one of the reasons why being married a long time can be so interesting and rewarding and should never become monotonous. Getting old together and still having fun is a reward that couples who have been married for many years celebrate. I hope that the couples who read this book benefit from its experiences and wisdom. The sacred vows you made were not a condemnation, but if truly applied, you both will learn that they were a liberation. My wish is that you have a long and blessed life together! Some marriages do not work out the first timethats just reality. The universal principles discussed in this book can help any relationship become happier and more rewarding. Dont give up on love.

ISBN: 9781780672793

This book charts contemporary illustration's rich history: from the rampant idealism of the 1960s to the bleak realism of the 1970s, and from the over-blown consumerism of the 1980s to the digital explosion of the 1990s, followed by the increasing diversification of illustration in the early twenty-first century. The book explores the contexts in which the discipline has operated and looks historically, sociologically, politically, and culturally at the key factors at play across each decade, while artworks by key illustrators bring the decade to life. Contemporary illustration's impact and influence on design and popular culture are investigated through introductory essays and profiles of leading practitioners, illustrated with examples of the finest work.

The eagerly anticipated first monograph to celebrate the fifty-years-and-counting career of decorating legend Mario Buatta. Influenced by the understated elegance of Colefax and Fowler and the doyenne of exuberant American decor, Sister Parish, Buatta reinvented the English Country House style stateside for clients such as Henry Ford II, Barbara Walters, Malcolm Forbes, and Mariah Carey, and for Blair House, the President’s guest quarters. The designer is acclaimed for his sumptuous rooms that layer fine antiques, confectionary curtains, and sublime colorations, creating an atmosphere of lived-in opulence. This lavishly illustrated survey—filled with images taken for the foremost shelter magazines as well as many unpublished photographs from the designer’s own archive—closely follows Buatta’s highly documented career from his professional start in the 1950s working for department store B. Altman & Co. and Elisabeth Draper, Inc. to his most recent projects, which include some of the country’s finest residences. Buatta shares exclusive insights into his process, his own rules for decorating, and personal stories of his adventures along the way.
