In the 24x7 Marriage he point, with skill and humour, to some popularly posed questions - and their somewhat startling solutions - that couples must ideally address before they affix a date to their wedding invitation ...or as soon as possible after.

Sample these:

•  Is there anything called a perfect marriage?
• Who's the right one?
• Which is better: a love marriage or an arranged one?
• A marriage grows enfeebled when the partners compromise their respective needs and settle for a sub-optimal relationship.
• With marriage, as with any other field of endeavour, the trick is 'smart work, not 'hard work'.
• 'Get married' is never the right answer to 'what next?'
• A marriage is between two individuals and not two families.
• Don't bend over backwards to be accepted by your parents-in-law.
