Book Preview: #1 In 1978, I was asked to teach a thirteen-week course on marriage at my church. The topic was: what must a couple do to stay happily married. The book that resulted from this course, His Needs, Her Needs, was a bestseller and continues to be one of the most popular books on marriage today.

#2 The beginning of the end of the traditional nuclear family in America was in 1960, when I was 19 years old. I had been trying to become a marriage expert, but almost everyone else working in the field was failing as well.

#3 I learned that the feeling of love was what kept couples together. If I wanted to save marriages, I would have to learn how to restore the feeling of love.

#4 I learned that the feeling of love is a learned association, and that it is triggered by the presence of a person of the opposite sex. I was able to help many couples fall in love and avoid divorce by helping them identify what their partners needed to make them happy.
