Abstract:
Most people feel strongly that their marriages would be just fine if only their partner would change. But this approach is never the answer. Insisting that the other person change a behavior may bring some temporary satisfaction, but it will never bring true happiness, which comes only from changing ourselves. Marriages typically go through five stages: romance, disillusionment, misery, enlightenment, and love. When couples encounter the second or third stage of marriage, many give up and even more seek to divorce. There is a better alternative. This little book of wisdom on marriage was written by a psychologist and marriage couselor who has been happily married for many years. It will give you the spiritual yet intensely practical tools to move beyond disillusionment and misery and find true love with your marriage partner.
