Jacobs, John W. All You Need Is Love And Other Lies About Marriage A Proven Strategy to Make Your Marriage Work, from a Leading Couples Therapist
HarperCollins 2004 0060509309 / 9780060509309 Hardcover As New in As New dust jacket
Remainder; 20 oz.; 248 pages; New HC w/DJ unread w/reamainder mark bottom edge DJ small ding. Why is it so difficult to remain married in the twenty-first century, and what can you do about it? We all know that half of today's marriages end in divorce, but we tend to believe that our own marriages are safe. As psychiatrist John Jacobs explains in this fresh and impassioned book, marriages today are incredibly fragile, and unless a couple understands what is making contemporary marriage so vulnerable to dissolution, the marriage is at risk. Part of the problem is that people refuse to see how social and historical forces have changed the very meaning of marriage, causing serious interpersonal unhappiness. Because of increased longevity, married people live together longer than at any time in history. There's been an erosion of the social and cultural forces that traditionally kept marriages together. Confusion over gender-role responsibilities, increased expectations of sexual satisfaction, and intense time pressures on couples to work and be successful all create marital stress.
