Book The Good Marriage  How and Why Love Lasts

Download or read book The Good Marriage How and Why Love Lasts written by Judith Wallerstein and published by Plunkett Lake Press. This book was released on 2019-08-09 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it first appeared in 1995, The Good Marriage became a best-seller. It offers timeless clues to the secret of happy, long-lasting marriages. Based on a groundbreaking study of fifty couples who consider themselves happily married, psychologist Judith Wallerstein presents the four basic types of marriage — romantic, rescue, companionate, and traditional — and identifies nine developmental tasks that must be successfully undertaken in a “good marriage” — separation from the family of origin, up-and-down vicissitudes of early years, children, balance of work and home, dealing with infidelities, and more. The men and women Wallerstein interviewed readily admit that even the best relationship requires hard work and continuing negotiation, especially in the midst of societal pressures that can tear marriages apart. But they also convey an inspirational message, for almost all of them feel that their marriage is their single greatest accomplishment. The Good Marriage explains why, and its lively mix of storytelling and analysis will challenge every couple to think in a profoundly different way about the most important relationship in their lives. “Should be required reading for all who are interested in marriage.” — W. Walter Menninger “Should prove a lifesaver for many couples.” — Publishers Weekly “Will enrich the sparse literature on happy marriages.” — USA Today “One of the nice things about The Good Marriage is its modesty. It doesn’t pretend to offer a philosophy or even a lecture on marriage. It takes no position on the ideologically charged issues of women’s marital roles and status. Equally important, it ignores the two most common ways of talking about marriage — as a contract negotiated between two equal parties and as the pathway to individual fulfillment. For this reason it is refreshingly free of ‘rights’ talk and therapy talk. Indeed, Wallerstein places much more emphasis on the development of good judgment and a moral sense than on the acquisition of effective communication or negotiation skills.” — Barbara Dafoe Whitehead, The Atlantic “A lagniappe to enduring couplehood... The strength of this study is that Ms. Wallerstein, a gifted interviewer, persuades the couples to reveal their interior lives in rich, explicit detail.” — Susan Jacoby, The New York Times Book Review “Written in a masterful style that often reads like the best popular fiction... Wallerstein and Blakeslee again combine their substantial talents... deftly and entertainingly exploring the foundations of good marriages.” — Tara Aronson, San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle “Groundbreaking.” — Boston Globe “This is a wonderfully readable and immensely valuable book, full of wise and original insights about the many, many roads to marital happiness.” — Judith Viorst “With wisdom, humor, and sympathetic understanding, Judith Wallerstein helps us recognize and rediscover the good marriage... lucid, psychologically sophisticated, and generously wise.” — David Blankenhorn, Newsday “Historically informative as well as profoundly wise psychologically.” — Joan M. Erikson “For a long time, as a Rabbi, I’ve been using The Good Marriage, by the late Judith Wallerstein... in my pre-marital counseling. She provides... amazingly helpful insights [which] open up conversations and lead couples to think much more deeply about what they are getting themselves into — and what they might need to do to keep their marriages strong.” — Rabbi Carl M. Perkins “A welcome addition to the field of literature on contemporary marriage... The style [is] clear, concise, sensitive and, occasionally, personal. Her personal additions... add warmth, emotional consciousness, and greater insight into what makes individuals and couples happy in their relationships. This book has value for the many audiences interested in relational theory that want to approach relationships from a realistic and positive perspective.” — Nancy Williford, Clinical Social Work Journal “In The Good Marriage, Wallerstein’s new study of 50 married couples offers affirmation that the process of marriage itself presents a vehicle for transformation... A best-selling author, Wallerstein employs a thoughtful, nonaggressive style that appeals to the general public. Wallerstein has performed an invaluable service in The Good Marriage.” — Elizabeth M. Tully, M.D., Journal of Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry “Solid... impressive... Those interested in social policy should be pleased that so well-respected a liberal academic as Ms. Wallerstein has written a book that celebrates marriage and points the way toward restructuring it.” — Wall Street Journal “With extraordinary skill and compassion Wallerstein and Blakeslee take us inside the lives of fifty American couples and find that a good marriage still provides the best framework for enduring love and intimacy.” — Sylvia Ann Hewlett “A very appealing book... clearly written and clearly thought out.” — Library Journal “Wallerstein’s major contribution is not about how and why love lasts, but about how and why love develops. It is in such a context, less idyllic, but more realistic, that the book will prove to be a lasting contribution.” — Readings: A Journal of Reviews and Commentary in Mental Health

Book Foundations for a Successful Marriage

Download or read book Foundations for a Successful Marriage written by Mark H. Bayer Ed.D. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-02-21 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers five key areas which will determine if a marriage has the greatest potential of being rewarding. Marriage is a balance of these factors which will either add or detract from the relationship. The better these areas function together the more rewarding the relationship can be. Although these five areas are typically common to books on marriage, the author seeks to look at the core issues behind each topic. For example, communication is more than just talking. Communication must include being willing to hear your partner rather than just listening to them. The goal is to maintain a positive attitude while understanding that no couple will have a marriage free of problems. With this foundation, the couple can better understand the weakest areas in their marriage and work on improving them.

Download or read book Lasting Marriages written by Richard Mackey and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1995-06-30 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on in-depth interviews by skilled clinicians with husbands and wives who have been married more than 20 years, Mackey and O'Brien explore how spouses adapt to each other from the early years of marriage, through the parenting years, and into the post-parenting or empty-nest years. Purposively selected for inclusion were spouses representing religious, ethnic, racial, and educational diversity. Given increased life expectancies, couples who stay together will remain together for longer periods of time. As longevity extends into the seventies, eighties, and beyond, it is critical to identify the significant dynamics which contribute to satisfaction among couples in stable marriages. This book responds to this need. Each chapter focuses on an important theme in these long-term marital relationships. Mackey and O'Brien first explore the beginnings of the relationships and the recollections of how respondents were attracted initially. The next chapters focus on dimensions of marriage as they evolve over time. Collective themes emerging from the interviews are explored in relationship to gender, ethnicity, religion, and education. In view of increased life expectancies, couples who stay together will remain together for longer periods of time. As longevity extends into the seventies, eighties, and beyond, it is critical to identify the significant dynamics which contribute to satisfaction among couples in stable marriages. This book responds to this need among sociologists, psychologists, social workers, marriage and family counselors, and general adult readers interested in gender, cultural differences, and interpersonal relationships.

It's of critical importance we understand the various relationship dynamics and their accurate definitions so we can make the best choices for our own personal relationships. Learn about the many open relationship structures and how they change and what we should be mindful of inside of each of these structures.

In addition, the individual profiles of people who participate in open relationships are also defined to support each participant in understanding some of the risk factors each person brings to the open relationship structures they're participating in. How does a married couple fair versus someone who isn't married? Why are guiding principles the backbone of open relating rather than rules and protocols that we find in polyamory? Why isn't open relating for most people, but only a small minority of the population? This book also offers some insight into the challenges with monogamy and even some strategies for monogamous couples to strengthen their bonds. Monogamy has some very specific characteristics that must be recognized and accounted for in order to avoid the traps leading to infidelity and divorce.

Generally, the people who fail in opening their relationship have skipped one or more of these steps and instead jumped right in.

Book Making Your Second Marriage A First Class Success

Download or read book Making Your Second Marriage A First Class Success written by Douglas Moseley and published by Moseley Method. This book was released on 1998-09-09 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Making Your Second Marriage a First Class Success" is intended for all couples and individuals who want to explore relationship dynamics at deeper levels. The foundation of any successful marriage is strengthened by a conscious commitment so we begin by exploring commitment, how to clarify it, and what holds partners back from bringing both feet fully in. The most alive relationships have partners who know how to share from personal vulnerability so we devote a portion of the book on how to communicate with more feelings. (One chapter speaks to men who have challenges in this area.) Couples who want to live in a real relationship need to learn more about how to deal effectively and realistically with anger and resentments so we explore this area as well. The second half of the book delves into topics more specific to second (multiple) marriages, but anyone who has experienced more than one significant relationship will recognize the challenges of dealing with exes, stepparenting, and money conflicts that arise in blended families. We include a chapter on the pragmatic and emotional aspects of prenuptial agreements. The book closes with a discussion about one of the most important relationship skills and that is how to maintain a healthy, well-developed self, inside an intimate relationship. In addition to great material for partners who have experienced multiple marriages, there is plenty of content pertinent to all intimate partners, and even to singles who have a strong desire to learn more about intimacy. "This book offers anyone seeking a healthy relationship words of hope and wisdom. It is a wonderful guide to learning how to be a good partner and how to recognize who might be appropriate for you." —Caroline Myss, Ph.D., author of the bestseller Anatomy of the Spirit "With incredible clarity, uncompromising truth, and rare, refreshing wisdom, the Moseleys have written a life-changing book that will help couples create profoundly intimate relationships." —Krysta Kavenaugh, managing editor, Marriage magazine "Changing partners without changing oneself is the chief reason for continued relationship failure. The Moseleys understand how to make the necessary changes that will ensure relational happiness." —Jon Carlson, Ph.D., Ed.D.
