From Publishers Weekly
"The current high standards for parenting lead to low standards for marriage," … and here she informs parents how to reconnect and stay connected through the tough times. It's not difficult to reclaim a balanced relationship, emphasizes Lindquist, if you give your marital bond as much consideration as your children's well-being. She raises issues ranging from having an affair to traveling with the kids and delineates roles and rules for both children and parents. Spiced up with pertinent comic strips and real-life examples, Lindquist's highly readable, informative work will appeal to those who are looking to reestablish their lost matrimonial love.
