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 being changed by 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 of Marriage" by sex-positive thinkers, such as having a spiritual partner, unconditional love, and raising children to improve marital relationships; the sexual revolution has made sexual life between spouses more enjoyable, we know how to communicate because we can express what we think, and people cannot truly change—these phenomena prevent us from dealing with the inevitable difficulties and pains brought by marriage. Therefore, for all couples and those in love, it is essential to recognize these unrealistic views and illusions, which are like landmines planted 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 marriage at some point. Because we don’t want to face this new reality, we keep waiting to figure out how to truly sustain the marriage and learn various problem-solving skills. At such special moments, Dr. Jacob provides a vivid, spicy, and sensational testing method based on real-life stories from marriage life.
