Summary: As Good As Oprah Said It Was
Review: After watching the Brodys on Oprah, and seeing her plug their book, I figured I'd give it a try. It is terrific! As a woman in midlife, I'm finding it very helpful with my marriage. Our communication has improved, and even our sex life is now more satisfying. Well done Brodys!! Thank You!!

Summary: Excellent Overview of Midlife Marriage
Review: Cathy and Steve Brody have put on paper a near encyclopedic reference for all the skills one needs and pitfalls one should avoid during the midlife marriage. Most vulnerable to disaster, the midlife marriage sustains the blows of empty nest, mid-life crisis, and general wear and tear of the physical aging process. A must have handbook for anyone wanting to stay vital in a long term relationship. For people who already know their problems and need deeper work, a different text or personal therapy will be helpful. For those who need to spot problem areas or who just need reinforcement, this is the book for you.

Summary: Fifty Years Old and I Still Worry About My Two Children
Review: Finally, a book good enough to always be handy on the coffee table. I find myself opening the book instead of turning on the TV. The ideas are making a difference. Instead of worrying about what might be happening with my two grown, self-supporting children, I'm actively engaged in activities that please me. For example, the childhood dream of singing on stage is now not just a dream. With five different stage productions behind and rehearsals starting for the next, I don't have time to fret.The key seems to be having that book in sight and trying the ideas.

Summary: This book will be good for your marriage!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed the Brody's approach to solving common problems in marriage. I found the book an easy read, with personal stories of the authors and their clients that we all can relate to. The way they explained different stages of marriage and life really hit home, and was very helpful. I recommend it to all of us 'Baby Boomers' who want to keep our marriages strong.

Review: Thanks to Steve & Cathy Brody for your insightful sharing & strategies to help cope with my midlife's issues, and there are many! What a great support "group" feeling in listening (reading) about their lives and how my own challenging life has been better understood. The kids are gone now & my husband and I are ready for that "renewed marriage". We highly recommend this to anyone who wants to live happily ever after.
