About Project 8 - Nurture Your Marriage

    Three primal urges may combine to keep average families intact in an ever-changing world - the need to belong + the love between partners + adult/child needs and bonds. Millions of U.S. families endure significant ongoing stress, or break up. One common reason is that needy, unaware, wounded mates marry the wrong people, for the wrong reasons, at the wrong time - and can't undo that. Co-parent Projects 1-7 in this divorce-prevention site promote three right choices. Even right-marrying couples' love is often relentlessly corroded by up to five stressors they're not able to overcome.

    Project 8 builds on prior Projects to nurture primary relationships in the face of many family and environmental stressors. Average re/marriages  are more stressed than typical first unions because there are more needy adults and kids + more confusing, alien family roles and merger tasks + few social norms for guidance + higher odds for prior psychological wounds in adults and kids + little informed local and media help. Project 8 provides suggestions and resources to help mates' love flourish despite many stressors. For more detail see the links below and The Re/marriage Book.
