What makes a marital union last "until death do us part"?

This complex question has been debated and probed through the ages. For real answers, there are no better people to ask than couples who have experienced success. Everlasting Matrimony: Pearls Of Wisdom From Couples Married 50 Years Or More offers a treasure trove of insight and advice from 75 couples - residing across the U.S. and Canada, and representing different faiths, cultures and ethnicities - who have celebrated no less than 50 wedding anniversaries.

The 75 featured couples openly discuss topics ranging from communication, sex and money to children, religion, hardships and much more.  And, they expound upon the importance and value of such psychological components as commitment, forgiveness, trust, honesty, respect, compromise, and humor.

What differentiates Everlasting Matrimony from the avalanche of “relationship” books available today?  All other books are a third-person analysis, the author’s prescription for a good relationship.  Despite all of their “help,” the divorce rate hasn’t budged.  In contrast to traditional, cumbersome analytical relationship books, Everlasting Matrimony is the voices of the real-life experts, couples who’ve walked-the-walk and talked-the-talk.  They are ordinary folks who you can easily identify with, and they share real-life tips and advice that can easily be adapted into your relationship.  No other book exists today that encompasses interviews with such a large scale of role-model couples providing the real-life script for fulfilling, loving and long-lasting relationships.

Each piece of wisdom from the 75 couples provides a golden nugget that when connected together creates the pathway for you and your loved one to reach your golden anniversary and beyond.

Whether you’re contemplating a relationship, newly engaged, planning your wedding or you’ve been married 1, 5, 10, 25 years or beyond, you’ll find there’s always more to be learned.
