A revolutionary new way to cultivate healthy, happy long-term relationships using techniques and principles developed from the latest research in positive psychology Nearly 60% of today's marriages end in divorce, and of the 40% that stay intact, many languish. What is the secret to relationships that not only survive, but thrive? In Happy Together, psychologists and husband-and-wife team James Pawelski and Suzann Pileggi show for the first time how to apply the principles of positive psychology to create and enjoy healthy, successful, and satisfying relationships that last. Combining their deep expertise in this field with extensive scientific research, real-life examples, advice from relationship experts, and fun and easy exercises for couples, Pawelski and Pileggi reveal the important roles that certain qualities and values--such as humor, gratitude, and creating mutual goals--play in igniting and sustaining love over the long run. And they present a step-by-step method to cultivate these in any relationship or marriage. Inspiring, encouraging and accessible, Happy Together is the essential roadmap to rewarding, long-lasting romance for any couple, whether they're looking to start off a relationship on the right foot, weather difficult times, reignite passion, or transform a good marriage into a great one.
