Marriage Meetings for Lasting Love

MINUTES A WEEK TO A MORE FULFILLING RELATIONSHIP Couples can make love last, says psychotherapist and clinical social worker Marcia Naomi Berger. They just need to learn how. Her prescription is deceptively simple: have an interruption-free thirty-minute or shorter, gentle conversation each week, and follow an agenda that includes the kind of appreciation and planning for fun that foster intimacy and pave the way for collaborative conflict resolution. With this book, you’ll learn how to communicate and connect with your spouse each week effectively and for a lifetime, with practical tips to walk you through the four parts of a marriage meeting: expressing appreciation, coordinating chores, planning for good times, and resolving problems. Inspiring real-life stories demonstrate how transformative these meetings can be. Berger's communication techniques gleaned from helping hundreds of couples will guide you toward a more fulfilling, lasting love. The downloadable PDF included with this audiobook is a step-by-step guide to hold a successful marriage meeting. Berger and her husband have been married for over 33 years. She gives major credit to their weekly marriage meeting for their lasting happiness. “The perfect book for the twenty-first-century marriage. A practical, easy way to increase intimacy, romance, and teamwork and resolve conflicts more smoothly.” —Susan Page, author of How One of You Can Bring the Two of You Together
