Notes to My Children on Getting, Being, and Staying Married

When her son proposed to his girlfriend a few years ago, Jo Lief was thrilled for the young couple. She also thought it was time to pass along some of the wisdom she'd accumulated over the years, things she'd learned as a wife and mother and in her career as a professional psychotherapist. So Lief sat down and created a handmade book of insights and advice, decorating it with her own artwork. Her heartfelt guide made such a splash that she was quickly besieged by friends and family who wanted their own editions.Now, Notes to My Children on Getting, Being, and Staying Married can be a gift from loving parents to new couples everywhere. Throughout stylishly adorned pages, Lief provides sensitive and intelligent observations on how successful marriages work: Fighting is normal. Feeling sexy comes and goes . . . cuddling is always good. Always remember the thrills of those first days and months, but let them be the foundation-not the requirement-of your love.With a deft and delicate touch, Lief cuts to the essentials found in the best marriages, providing a warm and quiet assurance that when both partners pay attention to their relationship the result can be deep pleasure, growth, and enduring excitement.
