A Jewish Guide to Happy Marriages
Samenvatting
Combining traditional Jewish wisdom with the most up–to–date scientific research on long–lasting relationships, Beyond the Chuppah is a hands–on guide for enriching Jewish and interfaith relationships. Based on the proven Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP), the book shows couples how to recognize the special issues that are unique to Jewish and interfaith relationships and learn the skills they need to create a marriage that′s intimate, loving, and fun. Using the practical tools found in this book, Jewish couples will discover how to "fight right" to resolve conflicts, improve their communication skills, do what′s right for the children, and, most of all, appreciate the pleasure of each other′s company.
