Why do some marriages grow stronger in the face of conflict or stress while others dissolve? In this book, two pioneering researchers present a groundbreaking theory of how mutually responsive behaviors emerge - or fail to emerge - in relationships. Illustrating their findings through the vivid stories of four diverse couples, the authors explore how conscious considerations interact with unconscious impulses to foster trust and commitment. Compelling topics include why marriages have such different personalities and what makes partners truly compatible. Also discussed are implications of the model for helping couples sustain satisfying relationships and improve troubled ones. This book will be important reading for social and personality psychologists; also of interest to clinical psychologists and other clinicians who work with couples. It may also serve as a text in graduate-level courses on close relationships.

Industry Reviews

"Reading this book is so enjoyable that you don't realize until the end that Murray and Holmes have quietly revolutionized relationship science. Experts and novices alike will delight in the flow of the narrative and the depth of the insight. The authors' expansive theory, which integrates a vast literature and offers countless new ideas, is an inspiration; it will serve as the framework that launched a thousand studies." - Eli Finkel, Department of Psychology, Northwestern University, USA "Grounding their conclusions in the best and latest scientific theory and research, Murray and Holmes take the reader on a very interesting journey through the ups and downs of close relationships. They do a wonderful job of unpacking and explaining how and why events that occur in relationships influence the ways partners think, feel, and behave. It is refreshing to see such a readable, practical work grounded so squarely in solid scientific principles and data. Would make a great supplemental text for courses on intimate relationships." - Jeffry A. Simpson, Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota, USA
