Description
All couples walk to the altar dreaming of
happily ever after, but many forces in our society work against healthy
lifelong commitment. Renowned family therapist William J. Doherty has
helped many thousands of readers understand how cracks can develop in
even a rock-solid marriage—and what steps they can take to keep their
love strong. Vivid stories illustrate ways to break free of common traps
like confusing desires with needs, seeing your spouse as a consumer
product to be traded in for a new model, or becoming overtime parents
instead of full-time partners. Empathic and motivating, Dr. Doherty
shows how to create doable relationship rituals that stand the test of
time. The updated second edition incorporates Dr. Doherty's ongoing
experience counseling couples in conflict, plus the latest information
on marriage and health, how divorce affects kids, the pitfalls of social
media, and more.

Advance Praise
"With his usual pragmatic good sense and down-to-earth wisdom, Dr.
Doherty reassures us that we can face the 'core challenge of our
time'—how to make a loving, long-term marriage work. He lays out an
intentional path to lasting love with elegance and persuasiveness. This
is a message that we all need to hear."
-Sue Johnson, EdD, author of Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love
"Dr. Doherty presents a unique and impassioned analysis of how our consumer culture erodes our dream of having the lasting union that we want so much. His practical suggestions for rituals that restore love and commitment are immediately applicable and alone are worth the price of admission. My son said, 'This book changed my life!' I suspect you, the reader, will say the same."
-Harriet Lerner, PhD, author of Marriage Rules: A Manual for the Married and the Coupled Up
