Not Normal: Unconventional Marriage Tips for Mature Couples Starting Again

By Malcolm Yard

Many of us - mature individuals in our forties and older - have been through relationships and marriages that may not have worked out the way we wanted them to, leaving us still desire that Happily Ever After.

Problem is that we can't expect the dish to taste differently if we put the same ingredients into it.

Same applies to relationships - expanding your view with some fresh advice, trying new angle when selecting your potential partner, and simply being more honest with yourself about your expectations could improve your chances of success dramatically. A lot of this advice should be applicable to the existing marriages, helping you pick strategies more suitable for your particular situation.

This book is not your typical collection of marriage improvement tips that I'm sure you've learned already from numerous other sources.

It is a fresh and unapologetic story about what eventually worked for me, two marriages and a ton of extra research later. Chapters of this book illustrate a particular point - the "Unconventional Marriage Tip" - suggesting how you could try going about certain things that might help you the same way they helped my wife and I.

To my dear wife.

None of this would be possible without you.

Introduction

This book is not one of those marriage tip collections that are aimed at either completely clueless people or very young couples lacking any experience whatsoever.

I see the main audience of this book being middle-aged men and women who perhaps have been married before, and are now divorced, possibly with kids. As opposed to the popular belief, people who went through a divorce don’t necessarily swear off any marriage in future, and often go for it again once the emotional and financial dust had settled.

After all, if you’ve chosen a married life once, there are chances that you had good reasons to do so. Maybe you’ve been brought up in a certain way that almost pre-programmed you for a life in a couple rather than solo, or perhaps you’re just a hopeless romantic.

Everyone has their reasons and motivations to pursue long term partnership and commitment, and we are not here to judge or dissect those.

Instead, I assume that you are a mature individual who’s been married before, now deciding to get back out there and pursue something new, while seeking advice that would help minimize chances of relationship failure in the future.

Now, if you think about it for a second, wouldn’t we all want to minimize chances of needing the next divorce or even just a painful and possibly expensive break-up? Of course we would, and none of us approach our next relationship not hoping that this one is going to last forever.

Yet practice shows that sometimes we jump in head first, or simply don’t stop and think about changing our pattern in choosing the next partner, our behavior around them, how we present and express ourselves in the couple once the relationship properly ignites and takes off.

You can’t expect the dish to taste differently if you keep putting the same ingredients into it, and it’s as simple as that.

Perhaps this is the reason why my book drew your attention? I sincerely hope so, as then I think we are both on the same page in terms of your hopes that this book will actually tell you something you haven’t heard before, and I know that you are the right audience that this book was written for.

Does it mean this book would be useless for those who are already married and are seeking radical ways to improve
