THE ROUGH PATCH: Marriage and the Art of Living Together by couples therapist and psychologist Daphne de Marneffe, Ph.D. The book explores why marriages today are harder than ever before, but how and why couples can and do prevail through the rough patches. Today couples are trying to make their marriages work better and longer than ever before--for many divorce is only a last resort. And yet, the stresses conspiring against today’s marriages can be overwhelming-- we are living longer, our parents are living longer, and the financial and work/life pressures that couples are trying to bear are more challenging than ever. With The Rough Patch leading clinical psychologist Daphne de Marneffe, PhD, can talk about the challenges confronting today’s couples, and with optimism - how they can and do persevere through them.
