Coupling up is complicated--Dr. Harriet Lerner's marriage rules are not. This marriage book provides couple's therapy in a unique format perfect for today's world. The renowned author of "The Dance of Anger "gives readers more than one hundred rules that cover all the hot spots in long-term relationships. "Marriage Rules" offers new relationship advice to age-old problems ("He won't talk"/"She doesn't want sex") as well as modern ones (your partner's relationship to technology). If one person in a couple follows ten rules of his or her choice, it will generate a major, positive change. All that's required is a genuine wish for a better relationship and a willingness to practice. "Marriage Rules" is a treasure chest of lively, practical advice to help you navigate your relationships issues with clarity, courage, and joyous conviction.
