Baby boomers' expectations for their marriages are often
unrealistic. When their relationship comes up short on
romance and sex, but seems long on disagreements and strife,
many boomers choose to leave. THE MARRIAGE BENEFIT is less a book about how to make our
relationships better than it is about how our relationships
can make us better if we just work on our expectations and
improve communications. Harvard professor and
psychotherapist O'Connell offers a peek behind the door of a
marriage therapist, where readers can see that their
problems are not unique. Through wonderfully revealing anecdotes of couples with
problems many of us face: long-held bitterness, diminished
sexuality, the scars of infidelity, and the search for
authentic meaning, O'Connell shows how by respecting each
other's individuality, looking for "real" sex, and learning
how to play with each other again, we can reap the benefits
of the long-term emotional investment we've made.
