From Library Journal:

The three authors of these two very different works about marriage serve also as narrators. Peggy Post, great-granddaughter-in-law of Emily Post, achieves the greatest narration success as she counsels listeners on modern wedding planning and etiquette in a well-modulated, pleasing tone. Topics included in this comprehensive guide range from engagement etiquette to choosing a wedding style to planning a honeymoon. Because Post believes that, when it comes to weddings, "excess does not always equal success," she provides many practical, money-saving tips throughout. The Brodys, husband and wife relationship counselors, share narration duties in their work about marriage at midlife. Swapping narrators every few minutes gives the work a choppy feel and causes an overall discontinuity in the narrative. The personal experiences of the authors and composites drawn from their counseling practice illustrate problems commonly experienced by middle-aged couples. In a rather haphazard fashion, the Brodys discuss marriage challenges such as children entering school, demanding careers, love affairs, and retirement. Multiple copies of Post's work would be welcome in most public libraries; the Brodys' program is an optional purchase.ABeth Farrell, Portage Cty. Dist. Lib., OH
