Do you want to be happier as a couple in your marriage? Are you arguing more than agreeing? Does it seem like you are losing your marriage to parenthood? Do you want more self-respect, partnership, happiness, and unity? There is marriage hope and marriage help! Re-Vitalizing Our Marriage includes current spiritual guidance from the Baha''i Faith, input from science about success factors, quotes from experienced couples at all life stages, practical activities, and reflections. These will assist and encourage you to:

• Begin with small positive actions that re-build your connection

• Strengthen individual self-respect and well-being

• Establish support for you as a couple and your family

• Build communication and consultation skills

• Address and recover from marriage problems

• Re-commit to and re-create your marriage partnership

A vital marriage is dynamically alive and thriving. However, your marriage can be challenged at any point with being distracted and disconnected. Difficult experiences may cause you to behave independently instead of being partners. With Re-Vitalizing Our Marriage, you can become happier, healthier, and more unified.

Someone shares in the book: "When we recognized our marriage was in trouble, we knew we needed professional help. What we didn''t initially realize was that we would need to do work as individuals as well. We also discovered that many of the principles of the Baha''i Faith helped us to sustain this work so we could rebuild our marriage."

To create this helpful book, Susanne M. Alexander draws on her experiences as a Marriage Coach and Educator and on those of her own marriage. She shares a depth of material from the Baha''i teachings and science about how you can have a successful marriage. Establishing healthy marriages is at the foundation for thriving families and communities, and Re-Vitalizing Our Marriage shows you how.

Individual, couple, and family health and happiness give you energy, time, and well-being to build unity with friends and family, participate in excellent work, and engage in community service. You are kind to yourself and others. You show up. You make a positive contribution. When you are united in creating well-being, you are healthier as individuals and in your relationship.

This book features 28 short focus topics for young couples and young parents with full lives; aspects of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being; content based on science and the Baha’i Faith; and tools for couples to collaborate, accompany, and encourage each other and their children.

Consider this: “Eating right and moving more—especially if we want to do these things on a regular basis and over a long span of time—are easier when we are inspired, cajoled, praised, and supported by the people who matter the most to us in our daily lives.” (T. N. Bradbury, PhD, and B. R. Karney, PhD, Love Me Slender, p. 8)
