Book excerpt: Read Catherine Blyth's blogs and other content on the Penguin Community. A witty, thought-provoking celebration of why marriage still matters-and how to make yours work-from the author of The Art of Conversation. Today we no longer get married for the reasons our grandparents did: because our families say so, because we must marry to leave home, to have sex, to have financial security. So in this modern age, why marry at all? The Art of Marriage seeks to answer this question, in an enchanting guided tour of the three-legged race that is married life. With anecdotes from history, the latest research, and insights about couples who stayed the course, Blyth offers entertaining advice on how to enjoy a successful marriage and answers vital questions such as can housework improve sex life? Why should husbands argue? And why must wives relax? In the age of "Bridezillas" and over-the-top destination weddings, it is all too easy to lose sight of the greater meaning of saying "I do." A wedding is not an end-it's not about the race for the ring, or planning a blow-out event-it's the beginning of a journey, full of questions and mystery, and different for each couple. As Catherine Blyth so eloquently puts it, "Each story has at least two sides. Reconciling them is the art of marriage."

Book excerpt: “Anyone grappling with the bewilderment of midlife…will be at once provoked and comforted by this enormously wise book” (Dani Shapiro, New York Times bestselling author of Hourglass: Time, Memory, Marriage), from a psychologist who has worked for decades with people struggling to preserve and enhance their marriages and long-term relationships. People today are trying to make their marriages work over longer lives than ever before. But staying married isn’t always easy. In the brilliant, transformative, and optimistic The Rough Patch, clinical psychologist Daphne de Marneffe explores the extraordinary pushes and pulls of midlife marriage, where our need to develop as individuals can crash headlong into the demands of our relationships. “A book of good intentions and helpful advice and a worthy manual for spouses” (Kirkus Reviews), The Rough Patch addresses common problems: money, alcohol and drugs, the stresses of parenthood, sex, extramarital affairs, lovesickness, health, aging, children leaving home, and dealing with elderly parents. Then, de Marneffe offers seasoned wisdom on these difficulties, explaining the psychological, emotional, and relational capacities we must cultivate to overcome them as individuals and as couples. Blending research, interviews, and clinical experience, de Marneffe dives deep into the workings of love and the structures of relationships. Intimate and always illuminating, The Rough Patch is an essential, compassionate resource for people trying to understand “where they are” on the continuum of marriage, giving them a chance to share in other people’s stories and struggles. “De Marneffe writes with poetry, wit, and compassion about the necessity of struggle in the quest for true love. Anyone in any relationship at any stage of life could stand to learn from the wisdom in these pages” (Andrew Solomon, National Book Award-winning author of Far from the Tree).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you get from "I do" to "happily ever after"? It can be done, even in today's divorce-torn society. But marriage is no fairy tale⏤it takes unselfish love, total commitment, a realistic attitude, and a lot of hard work. In a conversational style, with exercises and examples from movies and life, the Rev. Constantine Nasr, a 50-year veteran of both marriage and marital counseling, shows you how to master the art of marriage and create a lastingly joyful home and family. "We recommend this much needed book as a basis for marriage counseling in our diocese. It is a welcome addition to the pastoral library on this fundamental human relationship" -- Archbishop Nathaniel Popp, Romanian Episcopate, Orthodox Church in America "Mastering the Art of Marriage is a resource masterpiece. The book combines the wisdom of the Scripture and the Holy Fathers throughout the centuries and the guidance of modern scholarship and marriage counseling from our own time. It contains both research material to digest and practical exercises for couples to do together. It is invaluable for those who are engaged and preparing for marriage, for husbands and wives working to renew their love daily, and for pastors who are guiding their parishioners in the various stages of this sacred mystery." -- Biship Michael Dahulich, Diocese of New York and New Jersey, Orthodox Church in America About the Author Father Constantine Nasr has served for 50 years in the pastoral ministry of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church. He has counseled starry-eyed couples about to be wed, and he has stood in the trenches with those fighting to save their marriages. He has rejoiced with those celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversaries, and has wept with those whose marriages failed. He has conducted Marriage Encounter Seminars across the country. Married for 50 years and the father of two, he understands firsthand the pressures on a marriage and a family. Honestly and frankly he confronts those issues that must be mastered for marriages to succeed.

Book excerpt: Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect. Soon it became clear he needed major surgery that could either save his life--or result in his death on the operating table. The young couple prepared for the worst. When Ryan survived, they both realized that they still had a future together. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for each other and for a Christ-centered marriage, every step of the way. Fierce Marriage is their story, but more than that, it is a call for married couples to put God first in their relationship, to measure everything they do and say to each other against what Christ did for them, and to see marriage not just as a relationship they should try to keep healthy but also as one worth fighting for in every situation. With the gospel as their foundation, Ryan and Selena offer hope and practical help for common struggles in marriage, including communication problems, sexual frustration, financial stress, family tension, screen-time disconnection, and unrealistic expectations.
