"A wise, radical, and optimistic approach to marriage that promises compatibility between an individual's development and the often relentless demands of a relationship. People today are trying to make their marriages work over longer lives than ever before - for their children's health and well-being, and for their own. Indeed, among the college-educated, divorce rates have declined. But staying married isn't always easy. Clinical psychologist
Daphne
de
Marneffe
explores the extraordinary pushes and pulls of midlife marriage, where our need to develop as individuals can crash headlong into the demands of our relationships. Key problems that challenge marriages: money, alcohol and drugs, the stresses of parenthood, sex, extramarital affairs, lovesickness, health, aging, children leaving home, and dealing with elderly parents.
De
Marneffe
offers readers seasoned wisdom on these difficulties, addressing the psychological, emotional, and relational capacities we must cultivate to overcome them as individuals and as couples. Blending research, interviews, and clinical experience, and writing with uncommon insight into the daily behaviors of men and women,
de
Marneffe
dives deep into the workings of love and the structures of relationships. An essential, compassionate resource for people trying to understand "where they are" on the continuum of marriage.
