Show 860: Making Marriage Work

When so many marriages end in divorce, are there guidelines about how to keep the flame alive? Harriet Lerner, PhD, author of the best-selling Dance of Anger, offers us more than 100 "rules" to make long-term relationships really work.

What You'll Learn about Making Marriage Work:

We get advice on how to warm our partner's heart, overcome our listening deficit disorder (pay attention!) and even on how to fight fair so the outcome is a better, stronger, more loving bond.

This Week's Guest:

Harriet Lerner, PhD, is a clinical psychologist in private practice in Lawrence, Kansas. She has written 11 books, including The Dance of Anger and her latest, Marriage Rules: A Manual for the Married and the Coupled Up. The photograph of Dr. Lerner was taken by Andrés Lira Noriega. Her website is www.harrietlerner.com. The book, Marriage Rules, gets right to the point. It is not long, but would be well worth reading for any couple experiencing difficulties.
