| What the experts say: “This is an excellent book, bursting with practical wisdom. It avoids myths and guides the reader sensitively and incisively through the array of issues that are truly the basis of harmony in relationships. It must be read by all who wish to mate and by all who are troubled in their present marriages.” Arthur L. Kovacs, Ph.D., Founding Dean Emeritus California School of Professional Psychology, Los Angeles “Robert Fox’s book tells you everything you need to know to find a partner with whom you will have the best chance for a happy marriage, including a surprising ‘scorecard’ to help you rate a prospective spouse.” Norman M. Lobsenz, author of Styles of Loving, No-Fault Marriage, How to Stay Married; Distinguished Affiliate member, American Association for Marital & Family Therapy “Robert Fox has written a book that answers the many questions of the single person who desires a permanent relationship. ‘What do I do to meet eligible people? Where do I go to meet them? What should I be looking for in her or him?’ The author is aware of all the subjective elements of the search for the ‘right’ mate, but he also makes the seeker aware of the many qualities and attributes that go into a successful relationship. This is an excellent, sensitive, yet practical book and should be required reading for everyone looking for Ms. or Mr. Right.” Arthur Malin, M.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, UCLA Medical School; Past President-Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Society and Institute; Life Fellow-American Psychiatric Association “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. I strongly recommend this book.” John A. Lindon, M.D., Ph.D. Editor in Chief, The Psychoanalytic Forum, President, Psychiatric Research Foundation, Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, UCLA School of Medicine |
