Publisher's Description

Countless married couples end up living alone – in the same house. Over twenty-eight years of conducting "Weekend to Remember" conferences have convinced Dennis and Barbara Rainey that isolation is the number-one problem in marriages today. But they believe it's possible to overcome "marital drift" and experience the miracle of oneness. This book provides a positive, workable strategy for keeping your marriage vital and intimate. Included are proven principles and hands-on exercises to help you:

understand the personal and cultural forces that isolate you from your spouse
manage your schedules, workloads, roles, and responsibilities without losing sight of each other
allos for (and enjoy) individual differences while maintaining unity
build an atmosphere of cooperation by meeting each other more than halfwey
"affair-proof" your relationship (or heal it after the fact)
grow closer duing hard times instead of letting your troubles pull you apart
create a "safe" atmosphere for transparent communication
discover the secrets of a mutually rewarding sex life
leave a legacy of love and unity to your family and friends
