A Letter to the Author from a Reader:
I purchased your book, Good People, Bad Marriages, through the divorcesource.com web site just last week and I have read it two times.
My husband and I recently split up, by my request, and are getting a divorce after 32 years of marriage, I was 20 and he was 23 when we wed. Your book gave me so much insight into why our marriage was not a good one (especially after the first 10 years) and why it took me so long to make the break. That is the most painful thing-- thinking about good years of my life and his life too that were spent in an unhappy relationship. The interesting thing is my husband was willing to go along forever as we were, even though he admitted that he wasn't happy either.
Your first four chapters were especially valuable for me in my analysis of why I married the person that T did. I guess it was sex and the need to get away from my mother that propelled me into thinking I had found the man of my dreams and would live happily ever after.
Your book was also very insightful because you did not offer the same platitudes that many divorce recovery books have offered. Your ideal-, about the spirit being so important in finding the right mate seems so correct to me in retrospect. The few couples I know that have what, as far as I can tell, good marriages seem to have that spiritual connection.
And also, it is "okay" not to be married. The first reaction I found when I told people I was getting a divorce after all these years was "why?, haven't you resolved all the issues" or "I am so sorry." A friend of mine who divorced four years ago after 30 years of marriage told me that she told those people, "Don't be sorry-, it is a good thing to end it." People have been basically supportive but for some long-time married couples I think it is frightening for them to see this happening-, it makes them worry about the future of their own relationships.
Thanks for writing your wonderful book.

About the Author:
Dear Reader,
I married and remained in it for decades for what seemed like "good" reasons. Only I knew how bad it was for me. The end of it positively transformed me. Throughout my life, and especially following my divorce. I encountered many who were as passively accepting, unhappy and confused as I, young, old, married, unmarried. For all of us, and those who influence with advice and opinion, I compiled Good People - Bad Marriages.
The feelings and ideas shared here are from innumerable people whose marriages, good and bad, lasted ten or more years and in which neither spouse was in physical danger nor guilty of illegal acts. My sources and those we hope to reach are persons to whom sincere love, ideals, commitment and personal beliefs are important.
