    Synopsis

    Whether it's for deployment overseas or cross-country trucking, commuting to "the city" during the week or seizing an opportunity on the other coast, you've found yourself in a commuter marriage. You and your spouse are happily married but suddenly living apart, causing you to worry about what that distance will do to you and to your marriage.

    Author and psychotherapist Tina B. Tessina has designed a program to help couples like you survive and thrive in long-distance relationships. In The Commuter Marriage, Dr. Tessina answers questions you will face about everyday living situations, such as how to:

    • Keep the passion burning
    • Communicate effectively
    • Resolve conflicts
    • Raise healthy kids
    • Overcome jealousy and suspicions
    • Manage your homes
    With quizzes, exercises, and real couples' stories from Dr. Tessina's practice, you will see what works-and what doesn't. So, whether the decision to commute is voluntary or mandatory, you and your partner can keep the romance alive, your marriage intact, and your bond even stronger while you are apart!

    Deborah Bigelow - Library Journal

    While nurturing a marriage isn't easy for any couple, it may be particularly difficult for those in commuter marriages, in which one member may be overseas, helping an infirm parent, or just working long hours. To help these couples, psychotherapist Tessina (Money, Sex, and Kids) has devised solutions to several challenges, including overcoming jealousy, resolving conflicts, raising healthy kids, and keeping the passion alive. Tessina presents her message through real-life stories and exercises, illustrating what works and what doesn't. Simple, helpful, and relevant; recommended for public libraries.
