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

Download or read book Marriage a History written by Stephanie Coontz and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-02-28 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just when the clamor over "traditional" marriage couldn’t get any louder, along comes this groundbreaking book to ask, "What tradition?" In Marriage, a History, historian and marriage expert Stephanie Coontz takes readers from the marital intrigues of ancient Babylon to the torments of Victorian lovers to demonstrate how recent the idea of marrying for love is—and how absurd it would have seemed to most of our ancestors. It was when marriage moved into the emotional sphere in the nineteenth century, she argues, that it suffered as an institution just as it began to thrive as a personal relationship. This enlightening and hugely entertaining book brings intelligence, perspective, and wit to today’s marital debate.

Book excerpt: Marriage H. G. Wells - Happy is good. Holy is better.Your marriage is in excess of a sacrosanct pledge with someone else. It is an otherworldly discipline intended to assist you with knowing God better, trust him all the more completely, and love him all the more profoundly. Consider the possibility that God's essential expectation for your marriage isn't to fulfill you . . . yet, heavenly?Sacrosanct Marriage doesn't simply offer procedures to make a marriage more joyful. It contains reasonable devices, yet what wedded Christians most need is help in becoming holier married couples. Consecrated Marriage offers that assistance with bits of knowledge from Scripture, church history, dependable insight from Christian works of art, and models from the present relationships.Sacrosanct Marriage uncovers how marriage trains us to adore God and others well, how it uncovered sin and makes us more mindful of God's essence, how acceptable relationships encourage great supplication, how hitched sex takes care of the profound life, and then some.The reexamined release of Sacred Marriage considers the ways people's jobs have extended since the book was first composed. It has been smoothed out to be a quicker perused without losing the profundity that such countless perusers have esteemed.Holy Marriage uncovers the secret of God's general reason. This book might just adjust significantly the shapes of your marriage. It will unquestionably transform you. Since whether it is wonderful or troublesome, your marriage can turn into an entryway to a nearer walk with God, and to an otherworldly trustworthiness that, similar to salt, seasons your general surroundings with the relish of Christ. And was originally published in 1912.Herbert George Wells was born on September 21st, 1866 at Atlas House, 46 High Street, Bromley, Kent. He was the youngest of four siblings and his family affectionately knew him as Bertie. The first few years of his childhood were spent fairly quietly, and Wells didnt display much literary interest until, in 1874, he accidentally broke his leg and was left to recover in bed, largely entertained by the library books his father regularly brought him. Through these Wells found he could escape the boredom and misery of his bed and convalescence by exploring the new worlds he encountered in these books. From these humble beginnings began a career that was, after several delays, to be seen as one of the most brilliant of modern English writers. Able to write comfortably in a number of genres he was especially applauded for his science fiction works such as The Time Machine and War of the Worlds but his forays into the social conditions of the times, with classics such as Kipps, were almost as commercially successful. His short stories are miniature masterpieces many of which bring new and incredible ideas of science fiction to the edge of present day science fact. Wells also received four nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Despite a strong and lasting second marriage his affairs with other women also brought the complications of fathering other children. His writings and work against fascism, as well as the promotion of socialism, brought him into increasing doubts with and opposition to religion. His writings on what the world could be in works, such as A Modern Utopia, are thought provoking as well as being plausible, especially when viewed from the distressing times they were written in. His diabetic condition pushed him to create what is now the largest Diabetes charity in the United Kingdom. Wells even found the time to run twice for Parliament. It was a long, distinguished and powerfully successful career by the time he died, aged 79, on August 13th, 1946.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Couples spend an enormous amount of time and energy planning for the perfect wedding. But what about planning for the perfect marriage? In these times of rampant divorce and "relationship" crises, it makes sense to think seriously about the many challenges of married life that loom so large today. The Book of Marriage offers a treasury of marital wisdom from across the ages. Intellectually engaging, morally rich, and ideologically balanced, this anthology gathers some of the deepest, wittiest, and most edifying perspectives on the big questions of married life: Why get married at all? Can love last a lifetime? How do we handle money? Who's the boss? What about children? Conflict? Growing old? Illness and death? There is even a chapter on divorce -- one calculated to save a few marriages. To date there has been no single comprehensive book of source readings on marriage and family life. Assembled with the aid of noted scholars from various fields, this volume treats marriage as more than just a relationship -- as an institution, a vocation, and a source of great spiritual and emotional rewards. Each chapter introduces a different quandary of marriage and then culls the best from ancient and modern writings on the theme. The compendium of cultural wisdom on marriage ranges from the Bible and Eastern wisdom to Aristotle, St. Augustine, Maimonides, and Judith Wallerstein; from Homer, Shakespeare, Milton, and Jane Austen to Edward Albee, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Bill Cosby. An important resource for young adults, college students, engaged and married couples, educators, marriage counselors, therapists, pastors, and other family professionals, The Book of Marriage celebrates the diversity and essential humanity of the marital experience in a way that is accessible, entertaining, and eminently useful.

Download or read book The Principle Of Love Marriage written by Jim Holtslag and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-09-07 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the author proposes that there is a single easy to understand principle that all marriages should be based on. If you don't understand this principle, you run the risk of a rocky relationship or even divorce. If two people understand this principle and act accordingly, they are certain to have a fantastic marriage of happiness and personal growth for as long as they live. The book first describes the negative consequences that poor marriage has on, not only the people involved, but on society in general. Next it looks at how our society leads people into misunderstanding this critical principle from childhood on. Once the principle is properly understood, the author describes not only the tremendous benefits in happiness and personal growth that will result, but some of the challenges that it requires in honesty and respect that may not come easily at first, but are well worth the effort in all aspects of your life.
Download or read book When You Marry written by Evelyn Ruth Millis Duvall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from When You Marry Getting married and raising a family today require advance preparation. Most couples want their marriages to succeed. But wishing happiness is not enough. Marriages that have been preceded by study and careful mate selection and which are followed by skillful handling of adjustments have high success rates. Without adequate preparation anything can happen! This book has been written to supply the kind of guidance that is sought and needed when you marry. As in the original When You Marry, the chapter order is functional. It focuses on the person contemplating marriage and takes up in turn the questions he actually asks, beginning with the part personality plays in marriage and ending with the problems of the empty nest. But in keeping with the spirit of the book, we recommend that the teacher of the class, or the leader of the group, poll the members to ascertain their interests. We have found that most young people are personality conscious and wish to begin as the text commences with "What You Bring to Marriage," or sometimes with Chapter Two, "It's Love!?" A group of wives and mothers, on the other hand, may choose to start with Part 2, "What It Means to Be Married," or with Part 3, "The Making of a Family." A class of out-of-school adults may prefer to consider the entire last section, "Family Life Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow," before taking up the more person-centered materials. This is functional education: to start where the person is and work outward, in this case to a broad understanding of the entire gamut of marriage and family problems. We hope the book will continue to be the basis for self-study for many young couples who find themselves unable to attend a course in marriage and the family. Our suggestions for further thinking and activity through counseling, specific readings, and helps for working out personal and family problems are designed to facilitate self-study as well as group discussion. We have tried to keep the book close to the realities of life, and in line with proven principles and valid scientific concepts.
