Features: In the book "Marriage Problem Clinic," psychiatrist John W. Jacob explains the fragility of marriage, clarifies the essence of marriage that most people are unwilling to admit but is changing due to social and historical factors, and encompasses the facts that lead to complex, chaotic, and disintegrating relationships between people, as well as the various misfortunes they bring. The author believes that because we believe in the "Seven Illusions About Marriage" of sex-positive thinkers, such as having a spiritual partner, unconditional love, and that raising children can improve marital relationships; the sexual revolution has made sexual life between couples more enjoyable, we understand how to communicate because we can express what we think, and that people cannot truly change—these phenomena lead us to be unable to cope with the inevitable difficulties and pains brought by marriage. Therefore, for all married couples and those in love, it is essential to recognize these unrealistic views and illusions, as they are like landmines buried in the journey of marriage, and the first step toward a happy marriage is to recognize them. Dr. Jacob believes that most of us will encounter major problems in some period of our marriage. Because we don’t want to face this new reality, we keep waiting, trying to figure out how to truly sustain the marriage and learn various problem-solving skills. At such special moments, Dr. Jacob, based on real-life stories from marriage life, provides a vivid, spicy, and sensational testing method in a timely manner.
