TO HAVE AND TO HOLD: A PERSONAL HANDBOOK FOR BUILDING A STRONG MARRIAGE AND PREVENTING AFFAIRS
Book ID/图书代码： 09775010B42540
English Summary/英文概要： From the author of The Monogamy Myth, an essential guide written specifically for married couples to strengthen their relationship and prevent affairs.
Based on Peggy Vaughan’s 30 years of work with married couples and the issue of affairs, this new handbook challenges the assumption that monogamy can be taken for granted, and provides the tools for building a strong marriage and preventing affairs.
Explaining the need to focus on preventing affairs before there is any threat to a marriage, she draws on her survey of 755 people regarding their beliefs to present "What Won’t Work" and "What Will Work" to prevent affairs.
Throughout To Have and to Hold, Vaughan details specific strategies and techniques, emphasizing that:
* Relying on attitudes and beliefs is not sufficient to maintain a monogamous relationship over a lifetime.
* Focusing on actions and behaviors is far more significant to strengthen a relationship.
* Responsible honesty is the single most important factor in preventing affairs.
* Everybody (society as a whole) plays a role in supporting couples’ efforts to maintain monogamy.
* Parents have a special responsibility to break the pattern for future generations.
Four appendices present Vaughan’s survey questionnaire along with detailed breakdowns of responses.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 来自《一夫一妻制神话》的作者，本书是旨在加强已婚夫妇之间关系从而防止外遇发生的重要的指导。 基于佩吉•沃恩30年从事关于已婚夫妇问题及外遇问题的工作经验，这本全新手册挑战一夫一妻制下认为理所当然的假设，为维系牢固的婚姻及预防外遇事件发生提供了工具。
本书解释了在婚姻受到任何威胁前防范外遇的必要性，作者参考了自己的调查结论，该调查涉及755人，就他们认为的预防外遇“什么措施有效”、“什么措施无效”提供了建议。
作者贯穿本书始末列举了详细的具体策略和技巧，强调指出：
*依靠态度和信仰去维系一辈子的一夫一妻制关系是不够的。
*着重行动和行为比加强关系更为重要。
*负责任的诚实是预防外遇发生最重要的因素。
*每个人(社会作为一个整体)都在支持保持一夫一妻制中扮演自己的角色。
*家长们特别有责任为子孙后代防止该类事件发生。
