Why are you the best person to write this book?
I'm a California licensed marriage counselor in private practice with thirty years' experience counseling couples, and teaching them how to make their marriage struggle-free. Unlike many other relationship 'gurus,' I have the real experience in what goes wrong and how to fix it. I have also been divorced and then happily re-married for twenty-five years, so I have lived through the destruction of one marriage, and learned to create a happy second partnership. My personal experience informs my professional expertise.
How is this book different from other books on this topic?
Because I've helped so many couples solve the problems and create loving marriages, my book provides real dialogs of married couples showing how they changed their interactions, guidelines and exercises which teach couples how to fix problems, and cogent explanations and information about what works
and why it works. Throughout the book, you'll follow couples as they struggle and learn to solve their disagreements.
Is there anything else we should know about this book?
If you're having trouble with any of the 'big three' marriage issues; if you've already had the awful experience of a ruined relationship; or if you're contemplating marriage and worried about struggling; Money, Sex and Kids will be your guidebook to success in your relationships.
