Half of all marriages end in divorce...and who knows more about why these marriages failed than the divorce attorneys. Wendy Jaffe, a former divorce lawyer and daughter of prominent Beverly Hills divorce attorney Daniel J. Jaffe, set out on a quest to interview 100 prominent divorce lawyers all over the United States. Her mission was to uncover why some marriages succeed and others fail, and ultimately, what each partner can do to increase their chances of success. These attorneys contributed hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars of their valuable time to help Jaffe unlock the secrets of successful marriages. Their advice goes much deeper than simple dos and don'ts. It digs deeply into the issues that affect every marriage: money, children, sex, extended families, communication and more. Whether you are contemplating your first marriage or in the middle of your third, this book will give you a new perspective into what makes a marriage work. Book jacket.
