“Who’s that sleeping in my bed?” Nothing kills a marriage more than when a husband or wife wakes up one morning and begins to think, I don’t really know the other person in my bed anymore, and I’m not sure I want to! Your spouse will change. So will you. The question is, How will you handle the changes that children, retirement, or financial losses bring? Will the changes draw you and your spouse closer emotionally, or will they push you farther apart? Using a blend of candid insights—including some very straight talk on sexual issues—humor, and stories drawn from years of experience “in the trenches,” the Reissers offer commonsense approaches to prevention, repair, and rehabilitation of marriage rifts. With this book you can recapture the intimacy and caring feelings you had when you first fell in love, and learn how to embrace change—with all the good it can bring.
