The Marriage Laboratory: The Psychological Blueprint for a Resilient Partnership

<p>The biggest mistake we make in love is thinking we're marrying the person we see on a date&mdash;the charming agreeable well-rested version. In reality we marry their psychological blueprint: the deep invisible programming forged in childhood and adolescence. We marry the Dominant Decider who steamrolls our dinner choices or the Submissive Pleaser who never voices a need until they explode over an unwashed coffee mug.</p><p>This book is dedicated to solving that problem. We believe that a great marriage is not about finding two halves that perfectly match; it's about two perfectly imperfect individuals learning to manage their deeply ingrained personality traits&mdash;specifically the spectrum between Dominance and Submission&mdash;in a conscious productive and often hilarious way.</p>
