Navigating the challenges of long-term commitment takes effort - and it just got simpler, with this empowering, step-by-step guide to communicating about the things that matter most to you and your partner. Drawing on 40 years of research from their world-famous Love Lab, Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman invite couples on eight fun, easy, and profoundly rewarding dates, each one focused on a make-or-break issue: trust, conflict, sex, money, family, adventure, spirituality, and dreams.

In this revolutionary exposé, Harvard Law School bankruptcy expert Elizabeth Warren and financial consultant Amelia Tyagi show that today's middle-class parents are increasingly trapped by financial meltdowns. Astonishingly, sending mothers to work has made families more vulnerable to financial disaster than ever before. Today's two-income family earns 75% more money than its single-income counterpart of a generation ago, but has 25% less discretionary income to cover living costs.

By the end of World War I, the skyrocketing divorce rate in the United States had generated a deep-seated anxiety about marriage. This fear drove middle-class couples to seek advice, both professional and popular, in order to strengthen their relationships. In Making Marriage Work, historian Kristin Celello offers an insightful and wide-ranging account of marriage and divorce in America in the 20th century, focusing on the development of the idea of marriage as "work."

Conventional wisdom holds that same-sex marriage is a purely modern innovation, a concept born of an overtly modern lifestyle that was unheard of in 19th-century America. But as Rachel Hope Cleves demonstrates in this eye-opening book, same-sex marriage is hardly new. Born in 1777, Charity Bryant was raised in Massachusetts. A brilliant and strong-willed woman with a clear attraction for her own sex, Charity found herself banished from her family home at age 20.

È un compito difficile, o addirittura "impossibile" come scriveva Sigmund Freud, fare i genitori? È sicuramente difficile perché più o meno consciamente si vorrebbe a propria immagine e somiglianza un figlio che, invece, può prendere strade imprevedibili e inattese. Troppo spesso si desidera letteralmente costruirlo, mentre si può solo preparare il terreno in cui crescerà, curandolo, proteggendolo e amandolo. Questo libro illustra come sono cambiate le famiglie negli ultimi anni e come sono cambiati i padri e le madri.

Se in passato le donne erano soprattutto casalinghe, mamme e cuoche a tempo pieno, sempre indaffarate ma instancabili, oggi per loro prendersi cura della casa è una scelta, non più un dovere. Sono finalmente libere di fare i lavori più disparati, anche restando a lungo lontano da casa, e non sono più relegate soltanto al ruolo di mogli e madri affettuose, ma possono diventare campionesse olimpiche, ricercatrici, astronaute, manager o designer di successo.

Le bambine e i bambini, nati in Italia nel 2018 grazie alle tecniche di Procreazione medicalmente assistita (Pma), sono il 3,2%.

¿Son las doulas algo nuevo o que depende de una moda? ¿Están las doulas siempre en los partos? ¿Tenemos una doula para conseguir un tipo de parto o crianza concreto? ¿Son de verdad expertas en las maternidades de otras mujeres? ¿Tienen relación real con las terapias o remedios naturales? En definitiva, ¿qué hay de real y de ficción en lo que nos llega habitualmente sobre las doulas?

Le discriminazioni e la violenza contro le donne e le persone omosessuali e transessuali sono oggi, almeno a parole, unanimemente condannate in Italia. Una frattura profonda divide invece il Paese quando si discute dei mezzi per combattere questi mali. Al centro del durissimo dibattito c'è la cosiddetta "teoria del gender". Da un lato, i sostenitori sentono tutta l'ingiustizia di una società in cui una persona può ancora essere considerata inferiore a causa del proprio diverso orientamento sessuale, del proprio sesso, della propria identità di genere.

In the past half-century, women have revolutionised the way they work and live. But men’s lives have changed remarkably little. Why? Is it because men don’t want to change? Or is it because, every day in various ways, they are told they shouldn’t? In Men at Work, Annabel Crabb deploys political observation, workplace research and her characteristic humour and intelligence to argue that gender equity cannot be achieved until men are as free to leave the workplace (when their lives demand it) as women are to enter it.

After trying for years to emulate her boomer parents’ 40-year and still-going-strong marriage, Sophie realized that maybe the love she was looking for was down a road less traveled.
