In Part 1, Jordan uses his expertise as a psychologist and counselor—and his 33-year marriage—as the basis to definitively answer the question, “Why get married?” Topics covered include: Why a monogamous marriage is rationally, intellectually, and spiritually better than the short-term hedonistic pleasure of the single life. Creating the perfect platform for having children. How to consistently have the best intimate life you could possibly imagine with your partner. And more.

In Part 2, Jordan points to the keys to successful marriage. It’s not just about listening and communication but the way in which we do so matters. Topics covered include: The importance of negotiation. Why structured family meetings matter. Sorting out the past from your and your partner. Whose fault is it really? And why with very few instances, divorce is not a "quick fix.”

In Part 3, Jordan explains that what you’re sacrificing by getting married are the things that should have already fallen by the wayside with the advent of maturity, and that the gains far outweigh the so-called loss of freedoms. Topics covered include: Why marriage is the highest form of play. How career, children and marriage can and should work together. Why renewing vows is a sacred symbolic act. And why we should strive to live up to the ideals of marriage rather than forsaking them.
