Title: All You Need is Love and Other Lies About Marriage
Topic: Marriage and the Family
Discussed by Dr. John Jacobs
with Author
In ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE AND OTHER LIES ABOUT MARRIAGE, Dr. Jacobs shows loving couples how to make their relationships stronger by accepting and living certain truths. Among them: romantic love is insufficient to sustain an intimate relationship; change is always possible - even small, unilateral change can produce big results; your family of origin always influences your marriage; egalitarian marriages are fraught with confusion over gender-role expectations; your children are a serious threat to your marriage; sex is more frustrating now that sexy media images share your bedroom.

Title: All You Need is Love and Other Lies About Marriage
Topic: Marriage and the Family
Discussed by Dr. John Jacobs

"Marital unhappiness, dissatisfaction, and divorce are part of the fabric of modern life", states veteran marriage counselor John W. Jacobs, M.D. A psychiatrist who has worked with hundreds of couples over the last three decades, Dr. Jacobs knows just how fragile the bond of marriage is and how difficult preserving it can be. Still, he firmly believes most couples can create and maintain a mutually satisfying, deeply loving relationship - but only with hard work, diligence, and a reality check every once in a while. In ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE AND OTHER LIES ABOUT MARRIAGE, Dr. Jacobs presents a radically truthful approach to making a marriage work and last. Based on his clinical experience and extensive research, Dr. Jacobs reveals how a sweeping cultural transformation has encouraged men and women to subscribe to what he calls the "seven lies of marriage".
