New York Times bestselling relationship expert Maggie Scarf
shares in-depth stories of seven remarried
couples—revealing the unique challenges they face as they
strive to achieve lasting intimacy and familial harmony. It’s estimated that 40 percent of new marriages in the US
are remarriages, but the survival rate of second marriages
is alarmingly low. Many remarrying couples set out with a
sense of optimism, a belief that this marriage will usher in
a life of happiness and family unity—but complicated family
dynamics can often strain new partnerships to the breaking
point. The challenges of remarriage are pervasive, but
little guidance has existed until now. Based on more than a decade of candid, revelatory
interviews, The Remarriage Blueprint provides a crucial
explanation of the obstacles to remarriage and the secrets
to overcoming them. Maggie Scarf, a consummate relationship
expert, plumbs the everyday workings of shared life to
illuminate the emotional preconceptions, social pressures,
and perpetuated fantasies that confound remarriage. Through
cautionary tales and stories of hope, Scarf offers guidance
for handling everything from children who reject the new
family dynamic to the thorny issue of money. Loaded with
practical wisdom and searing accounts, The Remarriage
Blueprint is a definitive road map to a happy, thriving,
integrated household.
