This is decidedly not your parent's advice to the lovelorn. Alvean and Doug's take on contemporary topics and thorny questions spans generations and holds nothing back. When do you blend families from prior marriages? Can you prevent cheating? Why do we find ourselves dating the same kind of person all the time, and why doesn't it ever work out? Alvean's direct and honest counsel is matched by Doug's spiritual grounding and while they may not always come from the same direction, they invariably end up in the same place--with a prescription for living your life well and happily.
