How to Stay Married

Aiming to be a practical do-it-yourself guide to marriage counselling, this book offers what is intended as a comforting and sensible probe into the complications of married life. For many couples, the best marriage for them is the one they are in, and it is worth trying to resolve their problems together. Drawing on their years of research and counselling experience, the authors offer advice on valuing and appreciating one's spouse, how to improve communication and negotiate conflicts, how to restore the sensuality to sex and how to fall in love again. Complete with worksheets, self-analysis exercises and details of further guidance which is available, this guide sets out to teach the skills that may help to transform a troubled marriage into a healthy partnership.
