NEW YORK, Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, fifty to sixty percent of marriages end in divorce. Of those women who are married, forty-five percent wish they could be married to someone other then their present husband, and fifty percent of people who were married in the 1990s, had been married before. Furthermore, twenty five percent of Americans, age 18-45, are children of divorced parents.

"Something is perversely wrong with marriages," says relationship expert Dr. Greg Baer and author of Real Love in Marriage, from Gotham Books, a new book devoted to finding true love, happiness and fulfillment in marriage. Dr. Baer asks the question: "If you knew that your marriage could be loving and fulfilling and everything that you ever hoped for; would you ever walk away from it?"
Obviously the answer to that question is no, and Dr. Baer outlines a step- by-step formula for achieving "Real Love" in his new book. Marital conflict often results from issues surrounding money, sex, children, power and conditional approval. However, "Real Love" is based on caring about the happiness of one's partner, without any selfish thoughts, anger or expectations. It is a commitment to learning what it takes to accept and love one another; otherwise married couples become more like roommates living in the same space.
Dr. Baer's years of relationship counseling among married couples, even those headed for divorce court, have produced stellar results. From 2002- 2006, he conducted a study of 214 couples whose marriages were in trouble and at high risk for divorce. These couples completed the "Real Love" marriage program in six months. Of those couples, one hundred percent were considering divorce, thirty-five percent had actually filed for divorce, and twenty-eight percent were legally separated. After following the "Real Love" marriage program, the results were dramatic in that ninety percent of the couples were able to preserve their marriage and continued to do so after a two-year follow up period. Of those who chose to stay together, ninety-nine percent stated that their marriages were significantly happier than before the program, and ninety-two percent said that their marriages were happier than at any other time in the relationship.
