Happily Ever After (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798993225173)

Yet many people spend more time researching a new car than they do choosing the person they may spend the rest of their lives with.

Then they wonder why things go wrong.

We often fall in love first and ask important questions later. We focus on chemistry, attraction, and excitement while overlooking the characteristics that determine whether a relationship can remain happy through all the years ahead.

In Happily Ever After: Finding Love that Lasts a Lifetime, clinical psychologist Joseph E. Maio, Ph.D. combines decades of professional experience with humor, personal stories, and practical advice to help you make one of life's biggest decisions more wisely.

Rather than offering simplistic rules and promises, this book shows you how to recognize the qualities that truly matter in a lifelong partner, identify warning signs before they become years of regret, understand your own needs and priorities, and become the kind of partner someone else would be fortunate to find.

The result is a practical guide to finding-and keeping-the love of your lifetime.

This Revised and Expanded Edition also includes two additional chapters and the option of using a companion online questionnaire package that automatically organizes your responses and generates personalized summary lists, making the book's unique decision-making process easier and more useful than ever.

Everybody wants a happily ever after.

Give yourself the best chance of finding one.
