Does this mean that we should give up on love, satisfaction, intimacy, emotional support, good communication, and good sex in marriage? That marriage must be continued solely on the basis of grim commitment? That no one should divorce? Not at all. Instead, Dr. Fowers shows how we can re-envision marriage as a wonderful opportunity to practice the virtues of friendship, loyalty, generosity, and justice in the shared pursuit of our deepest ideals.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e BLAINE J. FOWERS, Ph.D., is a psychologist who specializes in marital and family therapy research and training. He is associate professor in the Counseling Psychology Program at the University of Miami.
