Friendships are undeniably important to an individual’s health, longevity and wellbeing, but they can be equally important for the health and happiness of a couple. Just as a friend can provide a mirror to the self, another couple can provide a reflecting team that supports or impedes a relationship’s growth. TwoPlus Two: Couples and Their Couple Friendships offers an important framework for helping couples to have conversations about their friendships with other couples and to enrich their own relationships. When couples agree about how to spend their time alone and with others, they are more likely to have a happy marriage or relationship.
Couple friendships have not been researched previously, despite their numerous benefits. Authors Geoffrey Greif and Kathleen Deal take an in-depth approach to this important topic. Based on interviews with more than 400 people--some of whom were interviewed with their partners, some who were interviewed alone, and some who have divorced--they find that couples fall into three general categories of making couple friendships: Seekers, Keepers, and Nesters. Drs. Greif and Deal discuss the different styles of interaction they've observed in couples as well as the findings from their research. Readings from their interviews illustrate what characteristics define Seekers, Keepers, and Nesters. Couples at any stage of their relationship will get a fresh understanding of how to seek, foster and sustain positive, healthy friendships.

TWO PLUS TWO is the latest of nearly ten books by Dr. Geoffrey L. Greif---several of them, like this one, written with distinguished colleagues. Each has been a delight to read ( I have profited from all ). While each has provided useful grist for the scholar's mill, each also is written in a delightful style accessible to the general reader, of which I am one. The books are devoid of academic jargon and other mystifying elements. Two by Two introduces the reader to a subject with which all couples have experience, but about the implications of which we probably rarely think: the profound importance of and benefit couples derive from friendships with other couples, and the effects of such relationships upon the partners and their marriages. As with Dr. Greif's other works, the book explains clearly the methodology, the expectations, the results (anticipated and surprising), and the lessons for scholars, but principally the lessons for readers---- here for couples of all ages, races, etc. The book is not long, and is an easy read. It uses stories of real couples (names changed)and their experiences, a format essential to its entertaining, reader-friendly mode. I recommend it without reservation.
