[Dr. Appu Sasidharan (Dasfill) · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a book where a Psychiatrist decodes the concept of marriage. Marriage is something crucial in almost every individual's life. Sadly, most people go into marriage life mindlessly without knowing the techniques and strategies to help us have a good beginning and tackle every crisis.

This will be a good choice for everyone who loves leading a healthy married life.

[Jaikish · Rating 5 out of 5]

Simple, comprehensive and surprisingly convincing. Thanking myself that I somehow went ahead and pursued a book from self-helpish shelf.

[Nethra Ram · Rating 5 out of 5]

No solutions or blueprints but an excellent summary of things you need to analyze, understand and keep in mind before you say 'I do'.

[Sudhir · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very practical self help book. A must read for the newly weds.

[Paul Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Indian contemporary version of "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus".

[Rameswar · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good book about what are the things one should be considerate and mindful about in a marriage.

Gives a good perspective about the kind of changes you may have to make in your life if you’re about to get married or just got married.

Coming from a marriage counsellor, it talks about lot of small things that might just look trivial but are important. I'd recommend this book.

[Aishwariya Laxmi · Rating 3 out of 5]

I had picked up 'The 24/7 marriage: smart strategies for good beginners' by Dr. Vijay Nagaswami in 2017. I got down to reading it only a couple of days ago and I finished it today.

While the book does not offer earth- shattering insights or radical prescriptions, it does mitigate the reluctance of many to seek counseling.

As the author puts it at the end of the book, "reading a self- help book could be a very vital first step in moving out of the victim mode that most of us fall into when faced with a crisis, to an action mode that gets us out of an emotional quagmire."

[Nanditha Kini · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have to say that I accepted this book as a gift from an aunt in the family with the usual scorn that a cynical commitment phobe feels, when anything related to this topic is brought up. It's been lying on my shelf for ages and I saw it today. And I remember her clearly saying,"Nandu, pass it on after you've read it. I don't expect you to keep it. :)"

This book was a surprise package. I don't want to name my aunt but Akka, THANK YOU! It has been an eye opener. :) And yes, I can relate to a couple of incidents of human behaviour which need to change and opened my eyes personally to areas I need to work on, and the fact that there's maturity I need to cultivate to improve. :) And I'm working on it.

The book highlights experiences of couples and singles who're contemplating relationships, their issues, and how they're meant to be sorted out. Helps us read them from the third party perspective so we can be rational, logical and practical when devising solutions to problems than being emotional about them. It's objective, blunt and straightforward. It's not a drag.

As promised, it's going to a dear friend and her husband who need it and will benefit from it, I'm sure, as I have.

The book is very good. It does what it says. People would definitely benefit from it more who are already married, but it’s also helpful for people who are in relationship, in courtship period or people undergoing arranged marriage process. It doesn't get very much complicated and provides us simple tools to get started on this journey. But as I'm yet to even start the process of marriage, a brief overview of what to expect won't hurt. I mostly loved the last part of the book where it says that in recent times, we are becoming more and more independent and are being non-vulnerable for the fear of being hurt, but actually we should embrace it and this way we would feel more closeness and intimacy.

[Abhishek Lodhi · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good self help book for newly married couples or courtship period couples. This book unfolds the very well known facts like what to do & not to do in a good marriage, which is being neglected by everyone. Its not a user manual but it surely guides to lead a good / sincere marriage. Must read ......!!!!!

[Indu · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very interestingly written- to help us understand ourselves and our partners and the many issues that come within the territory of the institution of marriage. I found it a very valid and insightful book. Certainly recommended to all people who plan to or have entered the domain of marriage. A worthy read.

[Pulkit Velani · Rating 4 out of 5]

Highly recommend for Youngsters

I will personally recommend this book to people who are planning to get married. It helped me to know many aspects of marriage I was unaware of it. I personally feel that this book will help you to know which issue related to marriage is in your hand and which are beyond your hand. :D

[Sinduja Chakrapani · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an Indian version of 'Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus'. It is full of examples for dealing with issues that arise from close relationships, both emotional and spatial, in Indian marriages. I would recommend it to anybody toying with the idea of getting married/marrying an Indian.

[Sunita Panday · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am listening this book on Audible. I am on chapter 12 right now and find it convincing. Have already suggested to a couple who is going to marry soon.
The book contains many examples to which any Indian can relate to.

So far a good book on marriage counseling wrt Indian scenario.

[Kriti · Rating 4 out of 5]

[Vishal · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good initiative for a successful marriage.

[Shruti S · Rating 5 out of 5]

The new Indian marriage analysed threadbare.. A must read for all people BEFORE their marriage, and for those contemplating marriage..
Ironically, those who actually must read it won't..

[Anirudh Ranganath · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good book for the new Indian couple, or in my case, someone who likes learning about the average marriage psychology and social dynamics in India. This book does not peddle unscientific BS.

[Swateek · Rating 4 out of 5]

A decent read on how to deal with issues in marriage, and is a must read for all adults and young adults.
