Working Marriage

By Jean Fitzpatrick
From a midtown Manhattan marriage counselor and psychotherapist, advice on how to keep your marriage alive and thriving when you and your spouse are too busy with work and children. I share practical ideas on how to stay connected, research-based advice on how to communicate and get results, support for remembering that taking care of your marriage starts with taking care of yourself. You may have seen me quoted in The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune, Women's Health and other media outlets where the subject is marriage, career and motherhood. For more practical tools, please sign up for my free newsletter, Real-Life Relationship Repairs, at my website Therapistnyc.com.
