| What the Experts are Saying . . . This is an important book. Appalled at the current 67% divorce rate, Robert Fox has researched and written a book which, if read by every single man and woman, would sharply reduce divorce rates and lead to more happy marriages.

Lindon, M.D., Ph.D. Editor in Chief, The Psychoanalytic Forum, President, Psychiatric Research Foundation, Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, UCLA School of Medicine. Read more |
