What Now?What Now?What Now?What Now?
No book (or therapist can solve all of your marital problems. But by
incorporating these Seven Principles into your marriage, you really
can change the course of your relationship. Even making just a small
and gentle change in the trajectory of your marriage can have a
dramatic, positive effect over time. The catch, of course, is that you
have to build on the change and keep it going. Improving your
marriage is a kind of journey. Like all journeys it begins by
suspending disbelief, taking one small step, and then seeing where
you are and taking the next step. If you get stuck or take a few
missteps, reread portions of this book with an eye toward charting
where your marriage is now. Then you'll be able to figure how to
help it along in the right direction.
Once you feel your marriage is "on course," here are some ideas
to help you maintain momentum.
