How to Survive Your Marriage

the long version

Whether you are just about to take the big plunge or have already been married for 50 years, most couples discover that it takes a lot more than saying "I do" to reach wedded bliss. With How to Survive Your Marriage, both newlyweds and longer-married couples can benefit from the collective wisdom of hundreds of people who have learned how to make their marriages work, and who share their hard-earned advice in this book. Unlike other books on marriage, which typically offer the opinion of a single author, How to Survive Your Marriage provides real-world advice from hundreds of seasoned couples who have experienced first-hand the trials and triumphs of marriage. With nearly 1,000 stories and pieces of advice, How to Survive Your Marriage has something to offer couples of all ages and at all stages. The book includes tips on getting engaged and wedding planning, learning how to communicate, dealing with money matters, in-laws, and kids, balancing work and play, and finding time for sex.
