“Vince Waldron’s book provides a fresh and inspiring lens for understanding how women and men sustain and transform their midlife relationships. Using the communicative construction of resilience, Waldron provides rich, vivid, and thoughtful treatment of a relatively neglected topic. Chapters draw upon different data and analyses to present couples’ insights into how they viewed and shaped their marriages over time and in spaces marked by personal struggles, external disruptions, and family challenges. Through these couples’ courage, compassion, and affection for each other, we develop insights into how we might incorporate their pragmatic strategies and our resources into our own lives.” —Patrice M.
