Date Your Mate: How to Save Your Marriage from "The Blahs" and Live Happily Ever After

From the Forword: Once upon a time, a boy was born... A little earlier—or maybe it was a little later, I’m not really sure—a girl was born. The boy grew up. The girl grew up. It wasn’t always easy, but after overcoming many difficulties, they found each other. They married. And they lived happily ever after. Sounds like a fairy tale, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not a fairy tale! Research makes it clear: there are people – thousands of couples – living happily ever after right now. We just don't hear much about them.  It makes you wonder: What do they know that the other couples don’t know? Maybe you know that your marriage needs saving. Your partner has walked out or suggested a "trial separation." Or you have been on the verge of doing the same thing. Or, worse, even though you know it’s bad, you have decided, “This is just the way marriage is. It wouldn’t be any better with anyone else. Get used to it!” Maybe things are “OK,” but you just feel something isn't right. Something important is missing. It's not what you expected, what you hoped for when you got together. Either way, no matter what troubles you've gone through, no matter how things are now between you and your mate, you can learn to do the few simple things the happy couples do. Then you too will have a real shot at living happily ever after. This book is here to point the way.
