Opis

Midlife can be a time of great change for individuals and a "make or break" period for marriages; The Middle Years of Marriage explores this predicament.

Recenzje

"Vince Waldron's <> should be on the shelf of any serious scholar of marital and family relationships. It is an excellent text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on relational and family communication and offers an in-depth, dyadic analysis of how couples respond to and overcome challenges during mid-life. It also provides qualitative scholars with detailed description of how to conduct a successful multi-year research project using undergraduate researchers. Finally, it is a valuable resource for couples of all ages to help them prepare for, understand, and reflect on how to create resilience in their relationships." -Jess Alberts, Professor, Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, Arizona State University
