Lies at the altar

In this New York Times bestseller, psychologist Dr. Robin Smith addresses the unspoken needs, unasked questions, outrageous expectations, and hidden agendas that often linger beneath the surface of wedding vows. She argues that self-deception and immaturity can lead couples to assume love will magically triumph over truth and reality. 

The book reveals how these underlying issues can cause power struggles, suffering, and feelings of hopelessness in marriages. Dr. Smith challenges individuals to examine their values and choices, and to write or rewrite their marriage vows to transform them into a realistic plan for a long and happy marriage, asserting that truth is the secret ingredient of all good marriages.
