"Gerontologist Pillemer shares findings from his survey of 700 people in 'very long marriages' (the shortest here have lasted three decades, the longest, more than five) for tips on maintaining successful long-term relationships. The respondents, charmingly called 'the experts' by Pillemer, share 'storehouses of invaluable lived experience' on areas including questions to ask yourself before settling down, domestic violence, and late-in-life sex. . . The benefits of such a comprehensive study incorporating so many years of experience should be ample, for newlyweds and contemporaries of the respondents alike. The advice is astute, fresh, and well selected by Pillemer." - Publishers Weekly
