Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on the importance of strengthening couples to embrace both stability and satisfaction. The participants who contributed to this book shared their life experiences and made suggestions for others about how to stablish and maintain stability and satisfaction in marriage. Every marriage is unique and at the same time there are many things to learn from one another. The contributions of the participants (male and female) are presented in a form of a life cycle, starting with how to discern the vocation to marriage life, the openness to finding a suitable partner, how to use productively the time of courtship and making the commitment to enter into a heterosexual marriage. Additional phases after the wedding are also presented in a framework that helps the reader to reflect about his/her own journey of marriage. Single versus dual career marriages are discussed in detail in this book. Relationship with in-laws, and intercultural marriages as well as parenting skills, including children with special needs. Additional themes include ways which enable parents not only parenting their own children, but also planning how to live in stable and satisfactory marriage before and after the children leave home, or even when they return. Some of the challenges that the participants shared and how they resolved them include situations of infertility, recovering from marital infidelity, and widowhood after the death of one of the spouses. Marital stability and satisfaction is presented with many themes, including preparation for a dignified retirement and hope for eternal life in Heaven.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding interpersonal relationships requires understanding actors, behaviors, and contexts. This 2002 volume presents research from a variety of disciplines that examine personal relationships on all three levels. The first section focuses on the factors that influence individuals to enter, maintain, and dissolve relationships. The second section emphasizes ongoing processes that characterize relationships and focuses on issues such as arguing and sacrificing. The third and final section demonstrates that the process of stability and change are embedded in social, cultural, and historical contexts. Chapters address cultural universals as well as cross-cultural differences in relationship behaviors and outcomes. The emergence of relational forms, such as the interaction between people and computers, is also explored. Stability and Change in Relationships will be of interest to a broad range of fields, including psychology, sociology, communications, gerontology, and counselling.

Integrating findings from social, clinical and counselling psychology, researchers illuminate what it means to be satisfied within a love relationship and identify the factors that allow couples to create successful relationships over time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on in-depth interviews by skilled clinicians with husbands and wives who have been married more than 20 years, Mackey and O'Brien explore how spouses adapt to each other from the early years of marriage, through the parenting years, and into the post-parenting or empty-nest years. Purposively selected for inclusion were spouses representing religious, ethnic, racial, and educational diversity. Given increased life expectancies, couples who stay together will remain together for longer periods of time. As longevity extends into the seventies, eighties, and beyond, it is critical to identify the significant dynamics which contribute to satisfaction among couples in stable marriages. This book responds to this need. Each chapter focuses on an important theme in these long-term marital relationships. Mackey and O'Brien first explore the beginnings of the relationships and the recollections of how respondents were attracted initially. The next chapters focus on dimensions of marriage as they evolve over time. Collective themes emerging from the interviews are explored in relationship to gender, ethnicity, religion, and education. In view of increased life expectancies, couples who stay together will remain together for longer periods of time. As longevity extends into the seventies, eighties, and beyond, it is critical to identify the significant dynamics which contribute to satisfaction among couples in stable marriages. This book responds to this need among sociologists, psychologists, social workers, marriage and family counselors, and general adult readers interested in gender, cultural differences, and interpersonal relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover what factors, beliefs, and attitudes build a successful marriage!In the enormous social, political, and technological upheavals since World War I, the long and happy marriage has begun to seem like an endangered species. In the desperate hunt for reasons that marriages fail, most researchers have ignored the factors that help marriages succeed. Together Through Thick and Thin: A Multinational Picture of Long-Term Marriage reports a landmark study of long-term satisfaction in marriage. Instead of relying on conjecture or unproven clinical hunches, the authors studied the happily married around the world. The respondents’early experiences included the Great Depression, World War II, and the Holocaust as well as the Roaring Twenties. In the years since they married, technological change and the women's movement have made the world almost unrecognizable. Yet these people have managed to maintain both stability and quality in their marriages. The scope of Together Through Thick and Thin is sweeping: eight countries, more than 400 couples who had been happily married for between 25 and 45 years. Factors analyzed include degree of satisfaction, gender differences, socioeconomic level, family history, shared values, religious belief and practice, attitudes toward children, physical health, and problem-solving styles, among many others. Moreover, the book builds on existing documented literature on marriage. This solid background helps put its wealth of practical data into context, an ideal synthesis of theory and practice.This study delves into the reasons couples stay together and stay satisfied. What qualities and attitudes do happily married couples share? Can the factors that keep a Chilean couple together for life also apply in the very different cultures of Sweden, Israel, South Africa, the United States? What keeps a marriage together in times of crisis? How important is love?Together Through Thick and Thin helps you understand the diverse factors that affect marital quality and stability by offering a broad range of information: a comprehensive review of the literature of happy marriage cross-cultural comparisons that kindle fresh insights discussions of factors ranging from gender and economic status to family history and shared attitudes specific behaviors and attitudes that illuminate what matters most in marriage, from mutual respect to shared fun the reasons couples stick together during crises which problem-solving behaviors actually workTogether Through Thick and Thin provides psychologists, family therapists, and couples counselors with the solid data they need to guide couples in crisis toward greater intimacy, commitment, and joy together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans are living longer, and the elder population is growing larger. To meet the ongoing need for quality information on elder health, the Encyclopedia of Aging and Public Health combines multiple perspectives to offer readers a more accurate and complete picture of the aging process. The book takes a biopsychosocial approach to the complexities of its subject. In-depth introductory chapters include coverage on a historical and demographic overview of aging in America, a guide to biological changes accompanying aging, an analysis of the diversity of the U.S. elder population, legal issues commonly affecting older adults, and the ethics of using cognitively impaired elders in research. From there, over 425 entries cover the gamut of topics, trends, diseases, and phenomena: -Specific populations, including ethnic minorities, custodial grandparents, and centenarians -Core medical conditions associated with aging, from cardiac and pulmonary diseases to Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s -Mental and emotional disorders -Drugs/vitamins/alternative medicine -Disorders of the eyes, feet, and skin -Insomnia and sleep disorders; malnutrition and eating disorders -Sexual and gender-related concerns -And a broad array of social and political issues, including access to care, abuse/neglect, veterans’ affairs, and assisted suicide Entries on not-quite-elders’ concerns (e.g., midlife crisis, menopause) are featured as well. And all chapters and entries include references and resource lists. The Encyclopedia has been developed for maximum utility to clinicians, social workers, researchers, and public health professionals working with older adults. Its multidisciplinary coverage and scope of topics make this volume an invaluable reference for academic and public libraries.

Book excerpt: When I arrived in Vegas for my best friend’s wedding, I never thought I’d want to jump the wedding party. That was until I saw Everly walking across the hotel lobby. Sparks flew. Drinks were drunk, and all I could think about was getting in her in my bed and underneath me. When she asked, “What if I’m saving myself for marriage?” My dick had the solution. One stop at Cupid’s Wedding Chapel and I had a wedding band on my left hand and the woman I wanted in my bed. Now I was married to the maid of honor, and all hell was about to break loose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Couples begin their marriages optimistic and excited for the future they are starting together, but within the first few years many marriages go on to struggle. This dissertation project serves to enhance our understanding of how and why marriages change during the newlywed years in a series of four longitudinal studies. The first two studies focus on examining changes in relationship satisfaction in tandem with changes in the independent variables that predict satisfaction. The first study analyzes changes in marital problems over the first four years of marriage and compares these changes with observed changes in marital satisfaction. Results indicate that, on average, marital problems remain stable over the newlywed years, even though satisfaction declines. The second study examines changes in risk across a variety of domains (intrapersonal, interpersonal, and external) to determine whether individuals with different marital trajectories differ more in their initial risk or how their risk changes over time. Results are consistent with an initial differences model, such that robust initial differences do more to explain variance in 4-year marital satisfaction trajectories than do differential changes over time. The final two studies examine the mechanisms underlying changes in satisfaction. The third study examines whether the extent to which couples engage in top-down and bottom-up processing changes over time. Results indicate that couples begin their marriages engaging in more top-down processing (e.g., global perceptions of satisfaction predict changes in specific problems) than bottom-up processing (e.g., specific perceptions of problems predict changes in global satisfaction), but that these effects grow weaker over time. The fourth study examines the reciprocal associations between relationship quality and couples' observed communication (e.g., positivity, negativity, effectiveness). Cross-lagged panel analyses indicate that communication behaviors rarely predict satisfaction over time, either at a within-spouse level or a cross-spouse level, but satisfaction is a more robust predictor of communication. Together, these studies offer a nuanced look at relationship development over the newlywed years, providing us with a better understanding of how and why marriages change to inform theory and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of family studies has recently seen the development of a more specialized focus on the character of particular relationships. The nature of these relationships may take many forms but typically involves individuals who view themselves as a unit with a long-term commitment to continue their relationship. Traditionally, at least in western societies, families are defined in terms of two parents living together with responsibility for rearing their children. However, these so-called nuclear families are becoming a rarer phenomenon. Single-parent families, childless couples, lesbian or gay male couples are also all represented in the broad mix of relations referred to as families. Each of the chapters in this book deals with a primary relationship issue. These include: issues of early marriage how young relationships become enduring relationships parent and child relations conflict between partners the interface between work and family life marital quality and maintenance divorce and its impact on the family aging and older families This volume provides a useful reference for professionals whose research and/or clinical practice focuses on family relationship issues. This book is also intended for advanced students in the areas of sociology, close relationships and family sciences. Families as Relationships is one of a series of paperbacks dedicated to the study and application of processes by which individuals relate to each other in social and family settings. Each book provides an expanded and up-to-date version of a section in the original Handbook of Personal Relationships (second edition) edited by Steve Duck.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dyadic coping is a concept that has reached increased attention in psychological science within the last 20 years. Dyadic coping conceptualizes the way couples cope with stress together in sharing appraisals of demands, planning together how to deal with the stressors and engage in supportive or joint dyadic coping. Among the different theories of dyadic coping, the Systemic Transactional Model (STM; Bodenmann, 1995, 1997, 2005) has been applied to many studies on couples’ coping with stress. While a recent meta-analysis shows that dyadiccoping is a robust and consistent predictor of relationship satisfaction and couple’s functioning in community samples, some studies also reveal the significance of dyadic coping in dealing with psychological disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety) or severe illness (e.g., cancer, diabetes, COPD, etc.). Researchers all over the world build their research on this or other concepts of dyadic coping and many typically use the Dyadic Coping Inventory (DCI) for assessing dyadic coping. So far, research on dyadic coping has been systematically presented in two books, one written by Revenson, Kayser, & Bodenmann in 2005, focussing on emerging perspectives on couples’ coping, the other by Falconier, Randall, & Bodenmann more recently in 2016, addressing intercultural aspects of dyadic coping in African, American, Asian and European couples. This eBook gives an insight into recent dyadic coping research in different areas and countries.
