• Half of all divorces occur within 7 years.
• Discover the  single biggest factor that predicts divorce at 16 years of marriage.
• Four behaviors that predict divorce within 6 years of marriage with 94% accuracy.
• Unhappy couples have a 35% increased chance of serious illness.
• Trying to solve conflicts when you are stressed only makes things worse.

Become a “Master of Marriage.”

1. Communicate, listen and empathize so you become each others best friend.
2. Affair-proof your marriage by learning how to meet your spouse’s needs.
3. Enhance emotional, physical, spiritual intimacy.
