Everyone brings differing expectations and a variable capacity for
compromising to the marital relationship. These personality
characteristics play a large role in determining how satisfying the
relationship will be perceived as being. By studying the marriages
of ten famous couples-including Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, The
Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and Robert and Elizabeth Barrett
Browning-Dr. Jerry M. Lewis examines what they can teach us about
what works and what doesn't work in constructing this life-altering
relationship. Dr. Lewis relies on over thirty years of research on
marital-family systems. His studies focus on the important
differences between those relationships that promote growth, heal
early wounds, or are destructive to all concerned. Marriages are
for better or worse. They encourage the individual psychological
maturity of husbands and wives as well as their children. But when
it's severely dysfunctional, it may contribute to the development
of psychiatric disorders. Marriage and other long-term committed
relationships also decisively influence life satisfaction, physical
health, and the establishment of life's meaning. Learn from the
mistakes and triumphs
