description: Midlife is one of the most trying times in a marriage. Pressures come from within--as anxiety, boredom, and restlessness tempt us to seek fulfillment in affairs or radical lifestyle changes. And pressure comes from outside, too, as growing children, aging parents, health concerns and financial strains make it harder than ever to focus on each other. This guide provides compelling, commonsense advice for couples who want to stay the course--not only to maintain the marriage bond, but to strengthen it. "The Brodys write from professional and personal experience, with authority, compassion, and humor, of the difficulties of marriage at midlife. Their book covers a lot of territory, from sexuality to aging parents and from coping with retirement to spiritual growth. The suggestions are sensible and straightforward. I recommend this book."-- Mary Pipher, Ph.D., author of Reviving Ophelia and Another Country"There are always challenges in marriage, and midlife brings a host of new ones. Steve and Cathy Brody are your personal advance team, throwing up red flags and leaving markers along the way. With the benefit of their experience and advice, you should be able to avoid even the best-hidden traps."-- Frank Farley, Ph.D., former President, American Psychological Association"A must-read for all husbands and wives, and the professionals who work with them."-- Linda Lewis Griffith, M.A., nationally syndicated columnist
