The speaker’s knowledge, wit and engaging style result in a talk that can be of benefit to both married couples and those seeking marriage. Other topics discussed: pregnancy, marriage by choice not by force, marriage completing half of faith, seeing each other before marriage, and the wife helping in the support of the household.
