Book Description
Most couples — because they watch so many of their peers divorce and are themselves the products of failed marriages — don't have many successful long-term-relationship role models. Parenting and communication issues are perennial, while some challenges, like increasingly 24-7 work lives and economic hardships, mark the current decade. Despite all this, psychotherapist and clinical social worker Marcia Naomi Berger asserts that most couples can make love last — they just need to learn how. Berger answers this need with a deceptively simple prescription: have an interruption-free thirty-minute (or even shorter) meeting each week and follow an agenda that includes the kind of appreciation and planning for fun that foster intimacy and pave the way for collaborative conflict resolution. Berger has refined these techniques while working with hundreds of couples — with results that are both practical and profound.

Book Description
What if a 30-minute weekly guided conversation with your spouse could transform your marriage The Marriage Meeting Guide shows you how to have a weekly conversation using 10 simple but profound questions to keep you and your spouse connected, communicating, and growing. With an easy-to-follow format, you'll begin to experience deeper intimacy and fewer arguments. Those Who Will Benefit: -If you have a good marriage and want to make it better. -If you feel like you and your spouse do not communicate about the most important things. -If you want to lessen fighting and arguments in your marriage. -If you feel like your marriage is stuck on cruise control and not growing. -If you feel distant at times from your spouse, like two ships passing in the night. -If you are engaged and want to start your marriage healthier than most. The significance of each of the questions is clearly explained so you will know the why behind the questions you are asking each other The Authors' Story When Amy and I got married, we received some sound counsel from a wise friend, and what a difference it has made! Amy, as an elementary school counselor, is an extrovert. She is very accustomed to discussing challenges and feelings. I, Jordan, am a processing introvert. The natural place for me to sweep feelings and challenges is under the rug, to avoid having to face and deal with them. Our friend noted that if I, as her introverted husband, didn't take the lead in addressing our relationship, Amy might become resentful in the absence of such leadership. Your marriage may be inversed where the husband is the extrovert, and the wife is the introvert. Or perhaps, you are both extroverts and love to see the sparks fly, or you are two introverts, and remove yourselves to your respective caves .Regardless of your personality type, communication is key to marriage. Often, spouses chat about surface issues but don't get down to the real issues in their conversations that either build or destroy marriages. This simple discussion guide ensures you and your spouse talk about the key questions that build intimacy consistently. Follow the weekly meeting guide in this book and you'll be amazed at the difference they can make in your marriage. We've shared the fact of how our weekly meeting has transformed our marriage with many friends and others. Every time we share, people ask, "What are the questions you ask each other?" It was this repeated request that made Amy and I decide we need to get this into a more accessible form. We hope this guide has as much of an impact on you as it has on us.
