From Dr. Jeffry Larson-- the author of the best-selling Should We Stay Together? that was featured on the Today Show-- comes a must-have book for couples in a long-term relationship. All serious couples reach a point where they feel frustrated, stuck, bored, disillusioned, and misunderstood. But now, drawing on over fifty years of research in marital and family relationships, Dr. Larson provides helpful and easy-to-use quizzes, self-tests, and personal assessments that reveal why you're feeling this way, explain the underlying issues, and provide solutions to specific issues and problems.

We evaluated 10 college marriage textbooks for their efficacy in teaching the premarital predictors of marital quality identified in the literature. They also were evaluated on their use of an integrative teaching approach that personalizes the content for readers and assists readers in learning, remembering, and using the information in their own lives. Four evaluators assessed the content and teaching methods in each book. Results showed that only 4 of the 10 textbooks covered two thirds or more of the premarital predictors, and none of the books used an integrative teaching approach consistently. Implications for improving these books, adding supplementary materials on premarital predictors to college courses, and increasing the use of integrative teaching methods in these books are discussed.
