Deborah at Books Movies and Chinese Food is giving away a marriage book. Generation NeXt Marriage, by Tricia Goyer, aims to tackle the unique challenges Generation X faces when it comes to having success in their marriages. Five quick hits:
- Gen Xers saw more divorces than successful marriages.
- Without role models, many GenXers turned to music, movies and television for examples of healthy relationships.
- Our teen relationships were intense and often included sexuality, leading to intense breakups and the resulting baggage.
- Gen Xers were starved for quality time, so they appreciate balance.
- Gen Xers were labeled the “slackers” and the “grunge” generation.
I haven’t read the book, but Goyer is definitely writing to my demographic. Growing up on the other side of the 60’s Cultural Revolution created a new world, and we slackers are the vanguard. My own experience doesn’t reflect all of the points above, but I know plenty whose did.
Click over, and see if you can’t win yourself a book!
