Will Our Love Last?: A Couple's Roadmap - Hardcover

Alan S. Gurman, Ph.D.Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the Couple and Family Clinic, University of Wisconsin Medical Center, and Past Editor of the "Journal of Marital and Family Therapy"This is the most thought-provoking book on marriage and marital problems I've read in years, and definitely one of the wisest. Hamburg reexamines our most cherished ideas about marriage, turns them upside down, and gives us back an incredibly honest, realistic, and practical lens through which we can make sense of the most significant relationship in our lives. His ideas may infuriate some of his colleagues, but they will rivet their attention nonetheless. Hamburg's book will be required reading for every couple I see.

Drawing on examples from his years as a marital therapist and his own happy marriage, a psychologist explains how compatability on three major dimensions produces the mutual understanding, respect, and affirmation that are the fuel for lifelong love.
