when couples take vows. But if they've taken the time to ask the tough questions
before they take the leap, they know marriage takes emotional work. We discuss
everything you need to know about building and maintaining a strong marriage,
covering topics like secrets to a lasting marriage, the key role of friendship, long-term passion and intimacy, the balance of power, effects on your tax situation, the spiritual side of your union,
and the importance of humor and empathy. And for the inevitable downturns,
we offer advice on fighting
fairly, how to cope with a nagging spouse, money issues, how relationship stress affects you and your kids, knowing the right words to say at the right time and when silence is golden, forgiveness, signs of cheating, preventing infidelity and what to do when you've tried everything else. Experts like Claudia and
David Arp provide marriage builders to strengthen your marriage, too!
