Written to share the wisdom gleaned from 56 years of married life, this book is a levelheaded marriage manual with supporting commentary from a nationally-known family therapist. Providing a portrait of a remarkable and productive egalitarian marriage, as well as thoughtful speculation about the high rate of divorce in America today, the discussion holds that, no matter how dull it sounds, a rational approach works best in relationships. Advising young people to value character over charm and generosity over selfishness when choosing a mate, the book also discusses the big topics of money, religion, sex, gender roles, child-rearing, and dreams for the future with useful and touching insights about honest and loving communication. Taking a broad and basic view of marriage and avoiding gimmicks and trendy theories, this guide offers solid advice as well as a big pep talk on the happiness—not the hassle—of a committed relationship.

      While finding a mate can be challenging, learning to live happily with one can be even more so. The authors of these books share their personal experiences and insights on how to keep love alive. Lilo and Gerard Leeds, married for 56 years, team up with author Terrence Real ("How Can I Get Through to You?: Reconnecting Men and Women") to put into writing what they consider to be the essential elements of a mutually satisfying relationship. They address issues that need to be agreed upon (e.g., money, religion) and offer simple, practical suggestions for increasing closeness (e.g., doing chores together, resolving disputes quickly).

      Th e Leedses' book, full of helpful ideas, is recommended for all public libraries. Gugor's meatier work, good for the Christian couple that would find biblical examples and quotations helpful, is recommended for libraries in high-density Christian communities.
