You won’t be able to avoid problems in marriage if you don’t recognize the traps. This book describes some of the distinctive habits, expectations, and mistakes many Latter-day Saints slip into.
The author, Dr. Brent A. Barlow, an associate professor in family sciences and a marriage counselor, writes: “Many married couples today unknowingly get into situations-traps, if you will-that can be harmful to marriage. This may be out of ignorance, apathy, or innocence, or any combination of the three. Through marriage counseling sessions and… Marriage seminars I have conducted,… I have identified what I believe to be 12 major traps in contemporary marriage.”
The Time Trap: an inadequate amount of time to maintain or improve a marriage.
The Tradition Trap: the insistence that marriage today must be as it was in the past.
The Togetherness Trap: too little or too much identity and bonding as a married couple.
The Tenderness Trap: the inability or willingness of spouses to be kind, loving, or tender with each other.
The Talk Trap: the inability or unwillingness to do much more than exchange information on a routine basis with a spouse.
The Tyranny Trap: the tendency of one spouse to exercise too much power or control in decision-making.
The Turmoil Trap: the inability to deal constructively with marital conflict.
The Temper Trap: the inability or unwillingness to control, modify, or eliminate anger in a marital relationship.
The Tension Trap: participation in too many stress-producing projects or activities.
The Touch Trap: the absence of touch in a marital relationship other than for routine sexual relationships.
The Temptation Trap: secrets or questionable relationships with a member of the opposite sex that can lead to infidelity.
The Television Trap: the viewing of meaningless or improper television programs during hours that could be better used.
Learn what the traps are and what to do to get out of them or stay away from them. Twelve Traps in Today’s Marriage-and How to Avoid Them is a searching examination of LDS contemporary marriage and an inspiring look at how to make marriage better.
