a reflection on why one should live within their means


(5 stars)

This is a good story for young people today who try to live above their means. I see so many young people who plan extravagant weddings and honeymoons that they can barely afford and put them in debt. Why start out your married life that way when you can learn to live within your means, you will have a happier life and less debt. I think that is partly what a younger person could gain by listening to this story. The narrator has a charming accent. Her pronunciation of the word "lovely" always made me smile. Nice short story, enjoy!

It made me sad to see Lizzie living out of her means, but her and Sam turned their lives around and the book ended with a “happily ever after.” If you have read Little Women and enjoyed it, then this is the book for you! It reminds me very much of when Meg March and John Brooke got married and then Meg lived lavishly until she too realized she was being foolish. The audiobook reader of “And so They Were Married” was also a splendid orator!

Lesson Learned


(3 stars)

Know what you're good at, and do it. Don't let others talk you into things you don't feel comfortable doing. Be yourself. Live within your means, and keep an eye on your maid. :) Reader was good, but could have added more pauses between sentences and between changes of scene. It WAS a bit like going too fast so that you can't enjoy the scenery.

a good book

a great moral for young people. you can easily see how things got away from them. how easily they could have been ruined.

but the reader's pace was too fast and her accent made it diifficult to understand.
