Product Description

Half of all marriages end in divorce…but not because men are from Mars and women are from Venus, say many of America’s top divorce attorneys. It is because husbands and wives move to different planets after wedding vows are exchanged. The solution to the divorce crisis is not simply to communicate more, but to change the specific conduct that repeatedly causes divorce.

The Divorce Lawyers’ Guide to Staying Married provides concrete advice on how to prevent divorce from the real experts on the subject: divorce lawyers. Based on in-depth interviews with 100 of America’s leading divorce attorneys, The Divorce Lawyers’ Guide to Staying Married explains why divorce occurs and what can be done to immunize today’s marriages from the ever-growing divorce epidemic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Gift!, March 7, 2006

By	J. Seid (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A good friend recommended this book to me, and it has REALLY great advice! I was skeptical, because after all who wants advice from lawyers :-) but the lawyers in this book were exceptionally thoughtful and insightful.
The author has interviewed over 100 divorce lawyers with thousands of years of experience and came up with some excellent advice as to how to avoid ending up at their office at the end of the day. I find myself talking about tips from the book all the time to my friends. It is a great reminder that all marriages take work, and that the grass isn't greener ANYWHERE, and that if we want a better marriage that won't lead ultimately to divorce there are simple things that we need to be doing every day to make our marriages more what we want them to be.
This book never pretends like marriage is simple. The advice isn't just that standard, "be good to your husband and suddenly they will remember your anniversary" talk, it is really practical and easy to read.
I am going to an engagement party this weekend for a good friend, and this is what I'm going to bring as my gift! After all, everyone knows that half of all marriages end in divorce and nobody wants to end up there!
Happy reading!

By	Christina Rowe "author of Seven Secrets to a ... (Weston, FL) - See all my reviews

When I first saw the title of this book, I was doubtful that there were divorce lawyers who genuinely wanted to see couples save their marriage. After all, divorce is their business and how they make a living. I was pleasantly surprised at the sincerity of the book and the author's desire to help couple's stay married. Thankfully, there are still some honest divorce lawyers out there.
