Equally important, it's a directory of relationship experts, complete with websites, organized in a convenient state-by-state format. When your marriage needs support, help is at your fingertips with Making Marriage a Success!

Here's a sampling of the practical, concise pearls of wisdom you'll find within these pages:

- Dr. Gary Chapman, North Carolina
"What one person considers to be an apology is not what another person considers to be an apology. Learning the apology language of your spouse communicates your sincerity."

- Anna Valenti, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Arizona
"Learn to appreciate routine and familiarity instead of needing drama to feel alive."

- Raelene S. Weaver, Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, California
"Accept the whole package. He might crack his knuckles, she might bite her nails, but in the big picture, who cares?"

- Steve Orma, Psy.D., California
"If you want Chinese and your spouse wants Italian, then alternate each week so you both get what you want. If you hate Chinese or Italian, then pick up both and each have what you like, or have something you both like. Apply this same principle to any difference in preferences (vacations, TV shows, where to spend the holidays, etc.) and you will have one essential ingredient to a successful marriage!"

Dr. Jeffrey Bernstein, Pennsylvania

"Even more important than what you say to your spouse is what you say to yourself about your spouse."
