HEARTBREAK TO HARMONY

"Can This Marriage Be Saved? Has the potential to lead you along the path of marital enlightenment . . . as you learn from people who have shared with you the most intimate details of their lives. They offer you a great gift: the ability to love wisely. Accept it."

--From the Foreword by Sonya Friedman, Ph.D.

Author of Secret Loves: Women with Two Lives

Presented for the first time in book form, here are selected cases from Ladies' Home Journalr's "Can This Marriage Be Saved?r"-the ongoing and most popular magazine feature ever.

Couples on the verge of divorce tell their stories to a marriage counselor or therapist in intimate detail, spotlighting the danger points common to every relationship. The competition for Power and Control. Communication and the Mind-Reader Syndrome ("If she loved me, she'd know what was wrong.") The inevitability of Anger, and the three unhealthy ways people deal with it-nursing it, denying it, venting it. And, of course, Sex, Money, and the key to it all, Trust. First she talks. Then he talks. Then the therapist talks. And you hear it all. Selection of the Better Homes & Gardens Family Book Service, Doubleday Book Club, and Health Book Club.

Ladies' Home Journalr introduced "Can This Marriage Be Saved?r" in 1954. It is the most widely read column in magazine history.
