Product Description

Drawing on their expertise on personal growth in the workplace and from their experience with couples in their popular workshops, Morrie and Arleah Shechtman present a new approach that challenges common notions about what makes a good marriage work. They recognize that myths about marriage often lead people to aim for unrealistic ideals. Examining eight myths about relationships—including “Love will carry you through the hard times,” “You need to work on your relationship if you want it to be good,” and “Spending lots of time together is very important”—the book also presents contrasting realities to help strengthen the bond. For those working to build a relationship or struggling to hold one together, this book provides powerful new ways to overcome old behaviors and create a new connection that springs from a shared understanding of one another's needs.

Customer Reviews

Subscribe to the theory of plenty and read this book5
The authors have done a great job creating a guidebook for how to get the most out of marriage while enhancing your own life. It is such a refreshing read. I found myself stopping to reflect on how each section of the book related to how I live my life and interact with my spouse. Further, I found this book also applies to relationships beyond marriage including business and throughout other personal relationships. Subscribe to the theory of plenty, take the risk and read this book, then live it! You will be happy you did!

Is the honeymoon over?..........Read This!5
This book brings you down from cloud nine and into the reality of what marriage is really about. Once the honeymoon is over, many couples find themselves struggling to find a comfortable place together, which can be complicated and dramatic. The authors dispel many myths related to marriage and give couples the tools to make it last.
