“You’re not the person I married—you’ve
changed!”“I’m not the one who changed, you did!”
Throughout his career as a marriage counselor, Dr.
Steven Craig has heard those accusations repeated by couples
over and over, reflecting a dangerous belief common to many
strained relationships—the belief that change should be
avoided at all costs. And yet the truth is as striking as it
is straightforward: marriages don’t fail when people change;
they fail when people don’t change. In The 6 Husbands Every Wife Should Have, Dr. Craig
divides the typical marriage into six stages, outlining the
common misconceptions and opportunities for growth at each
stage. From the earliest stage—becoming the right person for
one’s spouse in the new marriage—to thinking and acting as a
team and thereafter adjusting to the dynamics of parenthood,
caring for older children and elderly parents, adapting to
the empty nest, and, finally, growing into the golden years
as a dependable companion, 6 Husbands shows how a
successful marriage, far from being dependent on finding the
right person, actually depends on the husband and wife
becoming the right people. Using Dr. Craig’s
communication tools, checklists, and assessments designed to
inspire change, couples will learn who they need to become
in order to support each other at every stage of their life
together, and they will also learn how to create a road map
for getting there. As Dr. Craig says, “A marriage isn’t a marathon; it’s a
decathlon. . . . Success in a marriage, as in a decathlon, is determined by
how well one achieves in each individual event, not simply
by getting to the finish line.” With flexibility and
awareness as watchwords, The 6 Husbands Every Wife Should
Have shows couples not only the skills they will need to
succeed but how and when to apply those skills in order to
win the race—together.
