Happily Un-Married

by  Dr. John Curtis

Relationships are Serious Business

Living together is becoming widely accepted among all ages, and this is the first book to take a serious and non-judgmental look at helping these couples improve the fitness of their relationships.

Anyone cohabitating or who is interested in learning more about cohabitation will benefit greatly by reading Happily Un-Married,  Dr. Curtis’ new book provides a clear, straightforward explanation about cohabitation... the reasons for its meteoric rise, the consequences, the trends, and some startling predictions about the future of live-in relationships.

Happily Un-Married takes readers step-by-step through Dr. Curtis’ nine proven “strategies” to establish and sustain a thriving and healthy cohabitating relationship.  Using exercises, quizzes, surveys, and written activities, couples will be able to successfully complete the following:

·  Write a vision statement for their relationship
·  Develop specific and measurable objectives for their relationship and for both partners
·  Create a common approach to money and financing the relationship
·  Identify a relationship “brand” and strategies for “marketing” the relationship
·  Conclude a successful merger of “mindstyles” process and agreement
· Draft job descriptions outlining each partner’s specific tasks and responsibilities
· Complete regular performance feedback sessions and an annual performance review
· Determine a relationship compensation and benefits “package”
· Conduct valuable partner meetings and an annual relationship retreat; and much, much more!
