In this book, the author shares what he believes are the 5 pillars key to making a “forever marriage,” one with true intimacy (not just people who stay together because they think they should and are miserable). Those 5 pillars are honesty, team, contentment, spirituality, and unselfishness.
These principles include: enhancing their "love maps"; nurturing their fondness and admiration; turning toward each other instead of away; letting their spouse influence them; solving their solvable problems; overcoming gridlock; and creating a shared sense of meaning.
