Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Calling on their own experience of what works in relationships and what doesn't, the Vaughans ( Beyond Affairs ) offer straightforward and convincing counsel to couples who hope to sustain rewarding relationships. James Vaughan's love affairs, rather than destroying their marriage, spurred him and his wife to work out their problems and learn to trust each other again. The key to happy relationships, they contend, has nothing to do with sexual gymnastics, game-playing or romantic gimmicks, but rather is based on a mutual commitment to honesty and fairness. In sections based on such areas as communication, day-to-day issues and negative emotions, the Vaughans discuss sex, money, friends, child-raising and conflict in brief paragraphs. Each page has a sentence-long summary, e.g., "Renew your trust by continually disclosing yourself." A basic, clearly written and expertly organized manual.

Product Description

This book was written to show couples how to transform their romantic love into a more permanent lasting love. After the first chapter, the rest of the book presents one idea per page--so you can open it to any page and find something of value and practical use. It avoids the gimmicks and sexual gymnastics so common in "how to" books about love and encourages couples to consistently act on the things they already know but often fail to do. It guides couples in recognizing and addressing the core issues underlying the nitty-gritty issues that seem to cause so many problems. It elevates the significance of lasting love beyond just the benefits of a good relationship--to show how it enriches life as a whole. James and Peggy have been married more than 50 years and, in addition to their professional expertise, have used their personal experience to inform much of the wisdom contained in this book.
