A practical guide to achieving and maintaining personal fulfilment within a thriving and exciting long-term relationship, without having to choose between self-sacrifice or divorce.

A cross between Deborah Tannen's YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND and a Relate guide, this well-written, accessible book by America's phenomenally successful relationships guru provides essential strategies for maintaining a fulfilled relationship. A generation ago it was common to sacrifice personal fulfilment for the sake of preserving the relationship. Now, with dramatically changed roles for men and women, divorce has become the common 'solution'. Gray maintains neither is the answer and, without resorting to meaningless jargon, pinpoints the seven essential rules for long-lasting monogamy.
