Together Through Thick and Thin

Together Through Thick and Thin: A Multinational Picture of Long-Term Marriage reports a landmark study of long-term satisfaction in marriage. Instead of relying on conjecture or unproven clinical hunches, the authors studied more than 400 couples who had been happily married for between 25 and 45 years, living in eight countries around the world. What qualities and attitudes do happily married couples share? What keeps a marriage together in times of crisis? How important is love? Building on existing documented literature on marriage, Together Through Thick and Thin provides psychologists, family therapists, and couples counselors with the solid data they need to guide couples in crisis toward greater intimacy, commitment, and joy together.
