Publisher's summary

Her own marriage was so painful and troubled that author Dr. Christine Bacon actually prayed for her husband to die.

During the four-year separation and her husband's pursuit of reconciliation, she realized that reunification would mean changing everything: ineffective communication styles, bad habits, attitudes, and levels of commitment. Bacon vowed to herself, "This second time must be forever." Her personal trials, despair, and fighting spirit fueled a new quest to discover the formula for extremely happy couples.

Dr. Bacon interviewed nearly 100 Super Couples to discover whether extremely happy marriages were a matter of fate or formula. Did they get lucky, or was "super" something that could be learned? Her surprising findings inspired a turnaround in her now happy and fulfilling marriage and have led to the same for thousands of other couples. Seekers who delve into The Super Couple will access this formula, glean fresh insights to the "six faulty assumptions" that often lead to marital failure, and embrace a practical and inspiring redefinition of love that will reinvigorate a tepid or troubled marriage and transform it to terrific.

Hungry for the formula? The Super Couple is a feast of relationship sustenance for the mind, the heart, the family unit, and the eager spirit willing to grow the extra mile. It's a small investment in a lifetime of happily ever after.

Good practical advice for all couples

Speaking from many years of personal and professional experience, Dr Bacon gives a myriad of practical advice for couples to become closer and move toward "super." The key point is full comitment on the part of each spouse to always put the needs and wants of their partner first. This inevitably leads to positive feedback in both directions, with both partners benefiting. Super couples do not necessarily start as "super," nor have any special abilities to be "super," but work at this. However, Dr. Bacon points our that this does not seem like work. She gives many examples of super couples, couples that do not have super relationships, and some that have rocky patches and gradually become super. She points out some innate differences between men and women, that, if understood, help couples to better relate to each other. A bonus is that the author herself is the reader for this audio book, Her sincerity shows clearly. She also has an excellent speaking voice.
