Ideas for Marrying a Widower Book
December 19th, 2011 | 3 comments
As most of you know, I’m working on a sequel to Dating a Widower. Titled Marrying a Widower the book will focus on how you can know whether or not the widower is ready for marriage or some other lifelong relationship. (Dating a Widower is more about knowing if he’s even ready to date and start a relationship.) What I’d like to know from all of you is what topics you’d like to see addressed in this book. For those who are married to, engaged to, or divorced from a widower or are just working toward marriage with a widower, what issues have you experienced that others might be dealing with? What do you wish someone had told you before you married a widower?
I have a rough outline of topics I’m going to write about but want to be sure I haven’t overlooked anything before I start . Put your ideas in the comments below or send me an email if you’d rather keep it private. Any and all ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Update: Thanks to all those who have asked about submitting essays for the MAW book. I’ll have a full list of topics that I’ll post in early January that will let you know the topics I’ll need essays on. Hold off on sending any until then.

My W and I are living together and talking about marriage. We were talking about it awhile back. I was trying to figure out why he was so resistant. He screamed out “I did that once and she died”. I’ve encouraged him to speak with his counselor about this. How do you overcome the feeling that love equals loss?
Erin,
Love doesn’t equal loss. Love is wanting to be with someone whether you have 1 day or 100 years left together. Love isn’t about what you lose but the person that becomes part of your life. Love doesn’t equal fear.
I forgot to mention that he repeatedly tells me he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me. We even are plannIng on children. I’ve told him my reason for putting off children is him putting off marriage.
