About the Book

Based on a groundbreaking study of newlyweds, The First Year of Marriage explores the challenges and conflicts newly married couples face. Journalist Miriam Arond and Psychiatrist Samuel L. Pauker, M.D. offer valuable insights and comforting answers to essential questions, including how to:

Successfully deal with parents, in-laws, and stepfamilies
Negotiate everything from household chores to intimacy
Develop positive patterns for handling money in marriage
Juggle commitment to career and each other
Cultivate a terrific married sex life
and much more.

This book "should be required reading before receiving a marital license," says Ira Glick, M.D., coauthor of Marital and Family Therapy.

Customer Reviews

From single to married represents a sweeping change in every relationship, and The First Year of Marriage is written with authority and insight to help couples establish healthy, happy, and supportive lives together.

Barbara Tober, Editor-in-Chief, Bride's magazine
What a significant work! It takes newlyweds by the hand, and gently leads them past the danger points, the difficulties, and the unexpected misunderstandings of that first crucial year.

Francine Klagsbrun, author of Married People: Staying Together in the Age of Divorce
This lively and well-written book is filled with useful and practical advice that makes it a must read for newlyweds and those considering the joys and perils of marriage.

Allen Frances, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the Outpatient Department at Payne Whitney Clinic, New York Hospital
"This intelligent, clearly written, down-to-earth book describes both the superficial and deep sources of difficulty in early marriage and provides a variety of solutions. This book will be helpful not only to those in their first year of marriage, but to those hesitantly considering that step and many who have gotten well beyond that year.”

Arnold M., Cooper, M.D., past president of the American Psychoanalytic Association
