Dr William Doherty (Finch Publishing, Sydney, 2003) (208 Pages)

In A Stong Marriage, William Doherty describes how to break free of common traps such as confusing individual desires with needs, applying a trade-in-the-old-model mentality to your own spouse, or becoming overtime parents instead of fulltime parents.  He also discusses the thorny problem of inintentional marital sobotage from family, friends, even counsellors who may not believe commitment is worth fighting for.

In his forthright, enabling, caring and accepting style, William Doherty explains convinsingly that today's divorce epidemic is not an inevitable outgrowth of human change or the fickly natur of love.  Rather, it is the result of overwhelming and conflicting demands on our time, rampant consumerism, and the often-skewed emphasis we place on personal fulfilment.  These are powerful forces, he acknowledges, but they are not insurmountable. 

Young couples who want to hold tight to happily-ever-after, and longtime spouses on the brink of break-up, can fight back to restore a marriage worth saving - even if it seems too late. 

This book shows how.
