Synopsis

Your Essential Guidebook for a Thriving Marriage

Communication, support, affection, and encouragement are among the most important life

skills that you need for marital success. Yet, they are rarely taught in a classroom. In our culture,

these skills too often default to our upbringing coupled with hope the marriage will be loving,

adventurous, and fulfilling.
The reality is modern marriages encounter complex obstacles requiring more teamwork than

ever before. Dr. Anne Brennan Malec helps you look past the planning and excitement of the

nuptials to prepare you and your spouse for a happy, life-long relationship.

You will learn proven ways to:

 Break unuseful day-to-day habits and keep your relationship fresh and exciting

 Prioritize your relationship to provide time for yourselves as a couple, and as parents

 Openly discuss your financial goals and arrangements

 Create a conversational safety zone to discuss difficult issues and maintain a satisfying

intimate relationship

 Face issues head on, rather than allow resentment to come between you

 Forgive and to listen to what your partner needs from you to achieve forgiveness

Marriage in Modern Life offers real hope by giving you the practical and actionable tools to help

before problems arise. If your marriage is already in conflict, applying these principles can help

you regain a balanced, fulfilling relationship.
