And you will love the results!

The central point of their research is that successful love and relationships are an accumulation of the little things. The little things matter! It isn’t enough to just think about the little things or just talk about the little things. You have to just DO the little things every day! That's what makes love and relationships last! If you understand and implement the simple ideas presented in this book, you will be well on your way to having a successful and long-lasting marriage.

You cannot learn or understand success by studying failure. That's a fact! Drs. Charles and Elizabeth Schmitz understood this notion more than 25 years ago when they began their research. By interviewing couples with successful marriages lasting from 30 to 60 years they learned a lot about successful marriage. They discovered the Seven Secrets of Successful Marriage by gathering data from hundreds of interviews with long-time happily married couples and their own extraordinarily successful 41-year marriage.

When you read their exceptional book you will understand that studying successful marriage is a prerequisite to understanding why most marriages succeed and some fail! This book gives you the power to make your marriage a success so you can celebrate your Golden Anniversaries together. Love well!
