I don't have much to add to the other positive reviews. This book is definitely worth reading, for all the reasons mentioned.

I loved it. It helped me to understand how to make MY marriage work. My only wish is for this book to come out at an audiobook, that way my husband will "read" it to.
Sensible, Honest Guidance for Newly Weds
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
As a psychologist and relationship therapist, I think this is THE BEST BOOK for couples early in their marriage (or serious relationship) to help "normalize" their experiences, be respectful of the importance of their relationship, to face together the growth challenges, and to increase thier intimacy. Dr. McCarthy is wise, human, honest, and wonderfully insightful --> and helpful in practical ways. My full and strong recommendation. Buy this book (even if you've been together with your partner for a long time!).
