Introduction:

Conventional wisdom in publishing holds that the best relationship books are those written by practicing psychologists. But like in most conventional wisdom, the facts just don’t support such a claim. The content of such books fail in practically every respect to provide effective solutions to relationship problems plaguing our society. When you think about it, what makes marital therapists any more knowledgeable than anyone else about what constitutes healthy, successful relationships? These are people too far removed to understand the solution. In fact, a Dr. Phil may have his own television show, but he appears to admit in his own book on relationships that he has not helped any of his patients resolve a single conflict in 25 years of practice! Why?

What do you think society would do if the medical community had a success rate of only 50 percent with its patients? Or what would happen if the cars we bought, or the computers we purchased, or any other product for that matter, had a success rate of 50 percent, meaning every other computer wouldn’t work? Please keep in mind that the divorce rate doesn’t take into consideration that rate of success of the patients seeking help. Healthy couples do not seek marital therapy.

The problem is not merely a psychological one but more importantly one that requires an understanding of how two people should work together instead of apart in handling life’s many challenges.

Overview:

Top 10 Differences between Equality: The Quest for the Happy Marriage and relationship books written by "experts":

10. What has been published to date is not working because we still have a 50 percent divorce rate.

9. A relationship book that really helps has to be totally logical from beginning to end.

8. The author of a relationship book should be someone who has a background similar to mine whose insights are both personal and professional. As a semiconductor analyst on Wall Street, I bring to this subject a critical eye for the truth.

7. Equality: The Quest for the Happy Marriage breaks down the foundation of arguments so the reader can learn how to keep them from happening.

6. Equality: The Quest for the Happy Marriage also thoroughly elaborates on the platform for resolving differences through thinking, common sense.

5. Unlike any other relationship book, this book provides an easy, clear description on how the mind works.

4. Relationship books written by the experts do not help troubled couples understand the source of their difficulties

3. Marital therapists are too far removed from healthy relationships to really understand them.

2. In today’s books the concept of arguing is an assumed part of every relationship.

And the number-one difference between Equality: The Quest for the Happy Marriage and every other book on relationships:

1. This book will not only have a profoundly positive impact on helping you to solve your relationship problems, but in a broader sense, it will have a powerful material impact on finally making some headway in reducing our society’s spiraling out-of-control divorce rate.
