NASHVILLE CITY PAPER — Jan 11 — 50% of marriages survive the long haul, but half of those relationships have at least one partner who’s unhappy, according to Dr. Neil Clark Warren, a California-based psychotherapist, marital counselor and author of best-selling books on relationships. "This culture is being eaten alive by marital dissatisfaction," said Warren, married for more than 45 years." So Warren founded eHarmony.com, an online dating site that gives members an extensive questionnaire based on 37 years of clinical experience and research with 7,000 individuals and couples. His latest book is Falling in Love for All the Right Reasons: How to Find Your Soul Mate. Warren also suggests holding back on sharing your heart or your bed with any person until you’ve determined that they’re worthy of your most intimate beliefs and feelings.
Mark Brooks: We’re in dire straits aren’t we? Good news though; 5% of marriages last 50 years! (Of course, they were raised when it was the expectation that people stayed married forever) Dr Warren has written several relationships books. Also books on anger management and religion.
