Endorsements for Why Did I Marry You Anyway?

"This is a most exciting book written by a highly trained professional experienced in marriage, marriage breakdown, stabilizing a marriage, and just living in a marriage long term and what that entails. It is both personal and often humorous.  The book offers solutions to both commonplace and unusual issues in marriage.  It deals close-up with the author's own life experience, both personal and professional.  This adds to the book's pragmatism and interest.  This book should be read by all people who are married and those professionals practicing marital therapy and those professionals who wish that they knew how to practice marital therapy."

"Some self-help books start out strong, make their point, and lose their edge. This is not the case with Why Did I Marry You Anyway? From the first page on, Barbara Bartlein grabs the reader's attention and holds it.  A 'must read' for anyone considering marriage, intimate partnership, or divorce, this book offers a wealth of reality-based advice on what it takes to sustain a long-term meaningful relationship in a culture biased toward short-term solutions."

"Because the stability of the nation is dependent on the stability of the family, Barbara Bartlein's Why Did I Marry You Anyway? should be required reading for all newly engaged couples - and those of us happily married for many years.  This cleverly written book is an easy read, filled with powerful tools to make a marriage work."
