Opis

Half of all North American marriages don't work and other forms of partnership don't do any better. These relationships are sometimes described as "trial" or "practice" unions, but practice generally improves results, so why do sixty-eight percent of second and then seventy-three percent of third marriages fail? It doesn't have to be like that. What one might have done or still can do to make or save a relationship are detailed in sixty-eight "partnership practices." These practices come from understanding the influences of sex, destiny, heredity, personality, geography, culture, children, money, aging, addiction, lifestyle, illness, religion, law, gender, infidelity, energy and sexual orientation. The book also details where to find a great partner, the usefulness of marriage today, the power of consciousness and communication, a way to judge when love is authentic and the costs and consequences of divorce. Whether entering a new relationship, working on one, considering leaving one, wondering why one didn't work, pondering why one did work, or just wanting to help a friend or relative, this practical and insightful look at relationships will help you see why things are as they are. Along with those insights, you will discover what might be done to change any condition; specific action derived from new knowledge about the "best practices" in successful partnerships.
