Developing a Happy and Successful Partnership and Fixing Common Marriage Problems
Part of the Life Psychology Series, books written by Psychologists who have practical experience, bringing together the latest thinking and practice in a simple and easy to read format aimed at people who need a simple but effective guide for addressing their problems and improving their life.
Are you recently married, or about to get married; but worried about that your relationship will change?
Are you unsure about how to handle the conflict in your relationship?
Do you and your significant other have arguments that you can’t seem to resolve?
Do you worry that even though your relationship is happy, you are losing the magic?
Making Marriage Work is written for anyone who is in a committed relationship; or about to get into one. The book covers a range of theories of what optimal relationships look like; as well as what they don’t. Drawing from the work of experts in the field, this book goes on to outline the most commonplace problems that people face in a marriage; and the steps to successfully resolve these problems. It also describes the behaviours that are most helpful and those that are most harmful to a relationship (and ways to avoid the harmful ones).
As you progress through this book, you will be able to:
Identify myths about marriage and close relationships, and break them
Gain a theoretical perspective of the different kinds of relationships; and what makes a marriage enduring and strong.
Identify problem areas, learn how to spot behaviours that contribute, and change them.
Practice problem solving techniques that are best suited for you.
Learn time-tested tricks that help keep a relationship fresh and healthy.
What people are saying about Making Marriage Work:
“I’m about to get married; so I found the book fascinating. I now have a better idea of the possible pitfalls in our path. I am also a lot more confident, since I also know how to identify and work through them. This book has helped put me to ease.”
“After a decade of being married, we thought that the rut we were in was non-optional. Reading this book has given us perspective on how to work through some of our issues and how to minimise the effect of the rest.”
“I and my partner would have the same arguments over and over; but we didn’t know how to get past them. We were letting this affect the quality of our relationship. Making Marriage Work helped us see what we were doing wrong and gave us ways to rectify it. It also helped us bring back the spark in our relationship.”
