"After many years of argument and inquiry, the key to a great marriage continued to be shrouded in enigma. Until now...." (Carol Dweck, writer of Frame of mind: The New Psychology of Success) Eli J. Finkel's insightful and ground-breaking inspection of marriage plainly shows that the best relationships today are better than the best relationships of previous eras. Indeed, they are the best marriages the entire world has ever before known. He reveals his findings here for the first time in this lucid, motivating guide to modern marital bliss. The All-or-Nothing Matrimony reverse designers fulfilling relationships - from the "traditional" to the utterly nontraditional - and shows how any marriage can be better. The primary functions of marriage from 1620 to 1850 were food, shelter, and coverage from assault; from 1850 to 1965, the purpose revolved around love and companionship. But today, a fresh kind of marraige has emerged, one oriented toward self-discovery, self-esteem, and personal development. Finkel combines cutting-edge medical research with sensible advice; he considers paths to better communication and responsiveness; he offers guidance on when to recalibrate our anticipations; and he even presents a set of must-try "lovehacks". This is a reserve for the newlywed to the empy nester, for those thinking about engaged and getting married or remarried, and for anybody looking for illuminating advice that can make a genuine difference which will get the most out of marriage today.
