ABSTRACT

Marriage is a balance of needs-his, hers, and ours. Traditional self-help books espouse achieving a “happy marriage” as if all marriages should strive to follow the “perfect” model. In truth, there is no perfect marital model, nor should there be. Marriage is not a cookie-cutter pattern; one size does not fit all. Each individual and couple is unique. Develop a couple style that fits your uniqueness as people and reflects what you value as a couple.
