Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Based on a study of 456 newlyweds and 75 "longer-married people," the husband-and-wife authors have developed a profile of the typical problems couples face in the first year of marriage. Important issuesmoney, sex, power, work, and sharing household choresare explored in terms of what makes lasting relationship and the differences that, left unattended, can cause problems for the marriage. Open-ended questionnaires help readers identify problems unique to their experience; "workshops" suggest realistic ways of dealing with issues. The material is well documented with reference to the appropriate professional literature. This book fills a need for a practical guide for those contemplating or embarking on marriage.John M.

This review is from: The First Year of Marriage: What to Expect, What to Accept, and What You Can Change (Paperback)

This is a great guide for alerting those about to take the leap to the pitfalls to be confronted during the initial year of marriage. Even those who have been previously living together may be surprised at the substantial psychological changes that legalization of the relationship brings about. Forewarned is forearmed!
