They require constant attention and intentional effort. But it can be a rewarding effort. It can be an adventure! —from the Introduction \u003cp\u003eHow does a newly married couple make \"happily ever after\" really happen? Is marital bliss a myth or something truly attainable in the first years of marriage? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoy Petitfils has spent many hours listening to married couples try to work out their problems.
