In this remarkably candid book, Diane Rehm, the nationally known Public Radio host, and her husband, John, share relationship wisdom garnered from more than forty years of marriage. Refreshingly honest, Diane and John Rehm highlight their marriage's strengths and flaws through a series of dialogues on wide-ranging issues: from love and sex to dependence and independence; from financial and social needs to religious and spiritual differences; from raising children to persevering through times of crisis. With thoughtful reflections on differences of background, personality, and expectation, Toward Commitment bravely addresses the problems that inevitably strain a relationship and demonstrates how such challenges can be used to fortify a bond instead of break it. Whether you have been married for years, have just recently wed, or have been contemplating making the commitment, this forthright and ultimately hopeful book will help you and your partner understand your relationship and become closer than ever.
