The "Serendipity of Marriage" is based on biblical scrip-teaching. Reverend Smith as a minister, has been consoling men, women, and couples for over twenty years, discussing their difference in the behavior of the opposite gender. To help them better understand their role in their relationship, Rev. Smith would direct them to scripture, where they are able to feel their role within their relationship. Marriage is a sacred union before God; it does not matter how difficult your relationship is, with your husband or wife, because if you first have that relationship between you and God, then your relationship between your husband or wife will be a benefactor of your relationship with God. We should not go into marriage because of money or other material wants, but it should be based on "LOVE" and only "LOVE." Everything else that you receive after marriage would be a blessing from God.¿¿Rev. Dr. Joseph D. Smith is the fifth of eight children.

Life is a short journey, and in this short journey, there are many tasks. We have to breathe, drink water, and eat to stay alive. We have to sleep to have energy, to associate with others, to educate ourselves in order to have better lives, to have fun, to work, so it can provide for us, and... On the way to this journey, we have to stop once in a while and think about others and about the future of the world. The topics in A Basket of Goodies are deeply interwoven with our daily lives, and we are witnessing tragedies related to one subject in this book or another. By learning from each other and reflecting on the existing pain, we can prevent some of these tragedies. This book encourages humanity to overcome differences and seeks everlasting peace for all of humankind by understanding important social and economic differences and problems. If a young person can learn some things from it, it has completed its purpose. If it can bring a shed of joy to an elderly person, it has done better. And if it provides knowledge to a middle-aged person, it has done excellently. I consider this work as a part of my contribution to all that I owe to the world.
