Drs. Riskin and Banker on the field of Marriage and Marital Therapy:
 "Marriages, like friendships, are made by people of the same or similar level of emotional maturity. Our friendships and our marriages reflect our own levels of emotional maturity. Psychologist have been able to predict whether a couple will stay together or divorce with a 95% accuracy during their first year of marriage.  Married men live longer, have fewer illnesses, and enjoy greater professional success than their single counterparts.  Love does not grow where Control lives.  Integrity and honesty are the lifelong partners of intimacy.  The four actions that are most corrosive to marriages are: Criticism/Blame, Defensiveness, Contempt/Direct Insults, and Stonewalling.  Good marriage therapy helps couples to live well without a therapist. Good therapist know how to work themselves out of a job."
