ABSTRACT

We have more scientific information about marital processes and outcomes than at any time in history. So why is it so difficult to create a healthy, stable marriage? Human behavior is multi-causal and multidimensional; there are no simple answers. There are no hard-and-fast rules that guarantee a happy, secure marriage. If that is what you are hoping for, you have the wrong book (any book that promises guaranteed marital success is aimed at selling copies, not at being honest or empowering you to create a healthy marriage).
