Marriages that last may be back in style, but no one thinks that they come easily.Only folks who take marriage as seriously as this scholarly husband and wife team would suggest that the real key to a lasting marriage is having fun together. They also insist that more communication is not always better, that you can be just too sensitive, that your marriage can survive a few good fights (if you know the rules), and that getting out of sync is not necessarily fatal.These insights are among many that they back up with their experience of over fifty years of life together and almost as many years of research into why some marriages last and why others fold.Drawing on their own life story they provide a witty and wise guide for those about to marry, those who are experiencing their own stumbling blocks, and those who want to look back with the perspective of years and a touch of laughter.For every reader there is a non-threatening questionnaire that is designed to be helpful ... and fun.
