About this title

Synopsis:

Thirty-Seven Myths about Marriage describes common misconceptions about what happens in marriage--myths that never come true, no matter how much one believes them. Unhealthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors flow from those myths that harm the couple and their relationship, leaving them unhappy and dissatisfied. The authors provide realistic suggestions for a healthier approach to marriage and attainable goals. The book also contains questions for personal reflection or group discussion among individuals, couples, groups, or with a personal counselor or life coach.
