Summary:

In 12 updated and edited versions of their talks, psychologists mostly from Canada and the US present theoretical and empirical findings on how couples maintain happiness and satisfaction in their relationship, or how relationships deteriorate and ultimately end in separation or divorce. Their topics include attachment anxiety and motivational patterns in close relationships, outsourcing efforts to be close to others, social baseline theory and the social regulation of emotion, the power of a smart relationship unconscious, couples' adjustment to life following a health crisis, and mechanisms of marital dissolution and physical health outcomes.
