A choice-theory guide to building and sustaining marriage

William Glasser and Carleen Glasser examine marriage through the lens of “choice theory,” presenting relationship satisfaction as something shaped by the choices partners make. The book addresses two connected questions: how to assess compatibility when choosing a partner, and how to strengthen an existing relationship. Its scope includes why marriages endure or break down, with practical guidance centered on creating loving, happy partnerships. First published as Staying Together and updated here, it frames marriage as an ongoing relationship to understand and actively improve rather than a one-time commitment.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Couples seeking a framework for improving their relationship
  • Adults considering compatibility in a long-term partner
  • Readers interested in William Glasser’s choice theory applied to marriage

Book overview

The facts are nothing short of startling--no matter how many people seem to walk down the aisle, the divorce rate in America is at a record high. What's the secret to getting into a happy marriage and, even more important, staying in one? Now world-renowed psychiatrist Dr. William Glasser and his wife, Carleen Glasser, update their classic guide to successful marriages, Staying Together, for couples young and old. As they examine the questions of why some marriages work and others fail, the Glassers advise readers on how to create loving and happy relationships by applying Dr. Glasser's trademark "choice theory." The result is a wealth of new information about who would make a compatible partner and how to improve any relationship.
