This book unpacks and explores those desperately needed "secrets." It also offers a step by step guide for couples seeking to both understand and renew their relationship. Based on research with happily married couples, four decades of listening to couples in conflict and the author's own marriage of 46 years, Dr. Baute guides the reader through a progressive understanding of the skills needed to sustain intimacy "for better or for worse."
