- Synopsis
- In this ground breaking study, Walerstein gives valuable insights into the factors which make for a happy and lasting marriage. Whether traditional, convenient, romantic or rescue marriage is involved, she identifies several psychological tasks which must be coped with successfully for the marriage to succeed. She points out the special pitfalls which face the couples involved in each type of marriage she has identified, and also identifies common themes or patterns which are present in all the happy marriages. Based on a study sample of 50 couples, almost all of whom are white and middle class, the book is not and does not claim to be an all-encompassing definitive study of what makes a good or happy marriage. But with most of the published work concentrating on disfunctional and problem marriages and divorce, this book is a ray of sunshine and hope in a generally bleak landscape.
