Building Long-Term Relationships is for those who are interested in creating lasting relationships with their partners. How do we decrease the high divorce rates for couples married once, twice, or three times? Where do we start the arduous task of building permanent relationships? How can we improve our current situations? Are you interested in a relationship that lasts more than one or two years? Do you really care? These are legitimate questions that require answers. Marital counseling is too expensive for many couples, so this book is a less expensive alternative. The author has written ten chapters, each a building block for a permanent relationship. The contents include a chapter on communication, listening skills, problem-solving and negotiating, and more. Use this book as a self-help tool or a textbook. A set of questions along with essay ideas are at the end of each chapter. A PowerPoint presentation is also available. John W. Loeff is a former Associate Dean of General Education at Baker College of Port Huron in Michigan. He has a private practice in marriage and family counseling. Drawing on his many experiences in class, in counseling and in his personal life, he is also the author of An Unsuccessful Journey.
