Have you ever pondered why some troubled marriages succeed while other seemingly 'fairytale" marriages flounder and fail?

According to Dr. Robert O.A. Samms, the key to a successful marriage is not the absence of conflicts or problems, but rather the presence of the appropriate strategies to resolve them. In Making Marriage Meaningful, Dr. Samms examines the dynamic inner workings of a modern family to determine its strengths and weaknesses, as well as its successes and failures. All of these elements must be analyzed in order to improve a marriage. The real-life situations described in the book also give those couples contemplating marriage some very sound principles to ponder.

Making Marriage Meaningful suggests practical, workable strategies for couples in troubled marriages and for happily married couples seeking a greater understanding of the marital relationship. The book is also helpful for single, separated, and divorced people who want to avoid problems in their present or future relationships and who desire to tweak their passion for success.

Dr. Samms includes his personal, public, and private views on topics such as:

  • Commitment
  • Compromise
  • Children
  • Communication
  • Sex
  • Spirituality, and much more

Based on Dr. Samms's own forty-year marriage and his comprehensive research, Making Marriage Meaningful provides realistic strategies for making your marriage successful.
