Thank you Dr. Polston
Loving Midlife Marriage has been very helpful to us. As a couple in our 50's, we are dealing with empty nest and upcoming retirement problems. The chapter on "Seven Marital Themes and the Empty Nest Marriage" was especially meaningful. The rehearsals and testimonials elevate Loving Midlife Marriage above the typical dry "self-help/how to" book. Specific solutions were given to reoccurring, but seemingly unsolvable problems.

Our retired friends were particularly impressed with the book's perceptive analysis of what work and retirement mean to husbands and wives. It will definitely help us prepare for that time in our lives.

Thank you Dr. Polston!

The real stuff - no phoney baloney
I am so sick of reading books that I can't understand, not because I'm stupid, but because every Ph. D. thinks he/she has to show everyone how many three and four-syllable words they can fit into a sentence. The thinking is not clear or logical so the thought gets fuzzy. Polston and Galant write for EVERYMAN/WOMAN, clearly, concisely. with well organized material that's a snap to grasp. Ladies, get this for you and your husband for the holidays. Life can be sweeter!

This has really helped me deal with my wife!
I retired and was lost. My wife didn't know what to do--I kind of hung around the house and we both got on eachother's nerves. She picked up Loving Midlife Marriage at our local bookstore and started to involve me in some of the exercises.I don't believe in all this psych stuff but went along just to please her. To both of our surprises some changes started to happen--in other words--the book has really helped us and our marriage. To anyone going through this difficult time, I highly recommend this book.
