Real Love in Marriage: The Truth about Finding Genuine Happiness Now and Forever Hardcover - 2006

by Greg Baer

Why do more than half of all marriages end in divorce? And why is there so much unhappiness in the marriages that survive? Finally, Greg Baer offers the solutions for a long-lasting marriage in his much anticipated follow up to Real Love

Marriages fail not because of a lack of commitment, or poor communication, or even the conflicts that occur over money, children, sex, and household duties. Marriages fail because both parties originally came together without enough of the one element Real Love most essential to healthy relationships. No matter how many wounds have been inflicted in a marriage, Greg Baer believes that they can be healed, giving both partners the sense of fulfillment and joy they've always wanted. With practical anecdotes and exercises throughout, Baer shows you, step by step:
* Why our spouses are not the root cause of how we feel and behave
* The truth about why we get angry with our spouses and argue with them
* How to eliminate not just manage anger and conflict
* How to identify what we need to change about ourselves
* Determining how you and your partner can both get what you want out of the marriage
* How you can break the cycles of expectation and disappointment
* How to prevent divorce, and how to know when it's the right option

There are no quick solutions to fixing a marriage. With Greg Baer as your guide, you can begin to heal the wounds of the past and cultivate the lifelong commitment to stay with your partner while learning how to unconditionally love him or her.
