Getting It Right the First Time

Dr. Barry McCarthy's clinical credentials as a certified sex therapist and American University professor give this marriage guide genuine depth that most self-help relationship books cannot match, and Routledge's academic imprimatur adds further credibility. The focus on the critical first years of marriage is well-targeted, and reviewer descriptions of it as one of the finest divorce prevention resources suggest it delivers on its promise. The frank discussion of sexuality within marriage is clinical rather than prurient, but readers should know it is present.
