Divorce Is Not the Answer A Change of Heart Will Save Your Marriage Author:George S. Pransky, Ph.D. A realistic alternative to endless therapy sessions, painful self-analysis, and eventual divorce. — A refreshing departure from current therapeutic and self-help approaches to saving troubled marriages. DIVORCE IS NOT THE ANSWER: A CHANGE OF HEART WILL SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE identifies the most prevalent myths about what constitutes a healthy relatio... more »nship and shows how those myths actually increase, rather than relieve, marital discord. Dr. Pransky presents a chapter-by-chapter rebuttal of each myth and, through case studies and real-life vignettes, offers alternatives that do not require couples to submit to the hard work, compromise, and contrived communication exercises prescribed by many in the marriage counseling profession.
Dr. Pransky proposes that the conflicts arising inmost of today's marriages are illusions created by faulty perceptions and a lack of understanding of normal human emotions. In effect, he illustrates that marital problems are really only neutral situations viewed from a negative state of mind. With this knowledge, couples can easily use their differences in a positive, functional way to generate feelings of intimacy, compassion, and humor.
