Overview

All of us have expectations in life, some of which we see fulfilled. Often our expectations are unrealistic, and we look for someone to blame for our disappointment. Expectations we bring into marriage carry potential for disaster, and yet denying their existence is not a solution. This study will help us to determine which expectations are reasonable and which are not.
