Beskrivning
Midlife can be a time of great change for individuals and a "make or break" period for marriages. Couples navigate a relationship landscape defined by such lifecourse landmarks as "the empty nest," changing roles at home and at work, aging bodies, and the need to care for family elders. Some partnerships are resilient through this period, adopting practices that help them cope, bounce back, and even thrive in the face of adversity. Others sputter, wither, and burn out. What makes a midlife marriage resilient? Drawing from hundreds of interviews with couples, The Middle Years of Marriage answers this question.

Recensioner i media

“Vince Waldron’s book provides a fresh and inspiring lens for understanding how women and men sustain and transform their midlife relationships. Using the communicative construction of resilience, Waldron provides rich, vivid, and thoughtful treatment of a relatively neglected topic. Chapters draw upon different data and analyses to present couples’ insights into how they viewed and shaped their marriages over time and in spaces marked by personal struggles, external disruptions, and family challenges. Through these couples’ courage, compassion, and affection for each other, we develop insights into how we might incorporate their pragmatic strategies and our resources into our own lives.”—Patrice M. Buzzanell, Distinguished University Professor, Purdue University
