Summary: These writers really know marriage!
Comment: I highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about
marrying. In fact, the best time to read it is before you
begin dating seriously, as opposed to just socializing with
the other gender. It will make it possible for you to spot
unsuitable people and break it off before the trouble comes.
Be warned, however: The book is going to contradict all of
the TV hype and general malarkey that passes around, and it
may at first seem disorienting. And people with oversized
egos probably will not get past the first chapter.

Summary: Outstanding!
Comment: The last generation has seen an onslaught of pop psychology "How To" and "Fix It" books on marriage. The advice rarely deviates, and the emphasis is almost always on changing (and often leaving) the spouse. "The Mirages of Marriage" is not a book for the timid, as it examines the issues that face all marriages, in cold hard detail. One finds out that others really are like "us", thus, is what we're doing so unusual? The book is a reprint from the 1968 printing, and the advice is just as valid today. It is not "politically-correct" in the least, and is dated in some places (would love an updated version!). Overlook that and understand the message, and you'll put the book down with a contended sigh of relief knowing you're not the only ones, and there is great hope for most marriages. Kudos to the authors for being so brave....

Summary: Outstanding for dealing w/ all interpersonal relationships!
Comment: Analyzes many of the everyday contacts we have as people. NOT JUST FOR MARITAL SITUATIONS! I read this back in the early seventies, and still feel it's one of the best books for anyone in any kind of personal relationship. Very 'down to earth' in helping get past the confusion and frustration we find in argumentative situations and everyday expectations. Especially, if you're involved in a close personal situation (or want to prepare for one), this book is a must. Great book to be able to loan to friends that are having marital/friend trouble. But, make sure you get it back!!
