Everyone brings differing expectations and a variable capacity for compromising to the marital relationship. These personality characteristics play a large role in determining how satisfying the relationship will be perceived as being. By studying the marriages of ten famous couples-including Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, The Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning-Dr. Jerry M. Lewis examines what they can teach us about what works and what doesn't work in constructing this life-altering relationship. Dr. Lewis relies on over thirty years of research on marital-family systems. His studies focus on the important differences between those relationships that promote growth, heal early wounds, or are destructive to all concerned. Marriages are for better or worse. They encourage the individual psychological maturity of husbands and wives as well as their children. But when it's severely dysfunctional, it may contribute to the development of psychiatric disorders. Marriage and other long-term committed relationships also decisively influence life satisfaction, physical health, and the establishment of life's meaning. Learn from the mistakes and triumphs of famous marriages to make your own marriage stronger and healthier!

Celebrities attract the attention of commercial interests and other public figures. They receive payments from sponsors to endorse brands. They are sought out to appear with politicians during election campaigns. They are used to promote health messages. In other words, celebrities are often perceived to possess qualities that give them special value or what we will refer to here as 'celebrity capital'. This means that celebrities are regarded as being able to add premium value to specific objects, events, and issues and hence render these items more valuable or effective. Employing an interesting and new approach to the growing scholarly interest in celebrity culture, Barrie Gunter uses the idea of value as expressed through the term 'capital'. Capital usually refers to the monetary worth of something. Celebrity capital however can be measured in economic terms but also in social, political and psychological terms. Research from around the world has been collated to provide an evidence-based analysis of the value of celebrity in the 21st century and how it can be systematically assessed. Including further reading for students, key points and end of chapter discussion questions, Gunter creates the first methodology to assess the value of fame.

This book reveals that the marriages of many Christian leaders were anything but dull. In fact, the dynamic personalities of great leaders, mixed with the difficult circumstances and sacrifices of their vocations, made for many surprises along the marital journey. Writing in an entertaining narrative style, Petersen describes the quiet strength of Polly Newton, Emma Moody, and Susie Spurgeon, long-suffering women who helped refine their "diamond-in-the-rough" husbands. He recounts the "storybook romance" that was William and Mary Bryan's marriage and the mutual admiration society of Billy and Nell Sunday. But Petersen also sheds light on unions that were far from blissful, including those of authors Hannah Whitall Smith and Grace Livingston Hill. Whether the marriages in these pages were solid or shaky, they all hold valuable lessons for dealing with universal issues such as financial worries, temptation, separation, and personality differences.
