Marriage - the Dare to Love Judy Cheng

As a veteran counselor in a marital introduction company, Judy Cheng aims at sharing some of the toughest experiences people encounter in their married lives; stories that are shared with tears, broken hearts, struggles, plights and pains, which unexpectedly, turn out to be lessons of strength and wisdom leading to hope. Enlightened by the stories of people who have suffered immensely but who are also not intimidated by the hurt and loss, Judy tells those stories as ruthlessly as they actually are. Those are amazing stories of people keeping hope and faith alive despite being beaten badly time and again by that very thing called 'love'. The book is an extraordinary journey of love and relationship that readers would find resonance, consolation, support and insight. This book is inspired by real life couples. To protect the privacy of all of the characters involved, all names, incidents, places, and organizations have been fictionalized. "Some of Cheng's advice is inspirational in tone; for example, regarding one's choices on life, she writes that "open doors are everywhere. You only need to dare knock on them." At another point, she sagely advises bickering couples to think of each other as fine works of art to appreciate and admire." - Kirkus Reviews "She also includes several client case studies, which are the most memorable parts of the book. In one poignant anecdote, for instance, she describes how an abused woman bravely decided to look for love again." - Kirkus Reviews
