It doesn’t much matter whether you are a billionaire, or you work in the corner shop.
It doesn’t matter if you are good looking, educated, famous, or unknown.
You are here, in this life, to learn how to love, and that’s all.
You have always known this.

In the book we use the word ‘married’ in a specific way; that is, to indicate two people in a committed long-term project of loving and learning. It is not necessary to be legally married to do this (and it is possible to be legally married and not in such a project).
Though the book is primarily written with heterosexual couples in mind, we hope gay and lesbian couples will find it just as useful.
This book was first written in 1988. We had been about ready to retire it, but kept meeting people in shops or in the street who said this was the book of all our books that really helped them the most. So instead of a dose of euthanasia, the book has been resuscitated, massaged, Viagra’d, and given a major renovation! Its aims are now much clearer, the language is simplified, its methods easier and more powerful.
The book’s goal is simple: to help you stay married, and enjoying it. And secondly, to help you raise children with a team approach, to survive the dramas and enjoy the delights that children bring. So instead of becoming a divorce statistic, you can be part of a social revolution: the breakthrough generation that learns to make relationships work.
There’s something else you should know. This is NOT a book СКАЧАТЬ
