Love Between Equals: How Peer Marriage Really Works

by Pepper Schwartz

Overview

"...any couple contemplating marriage or reevaluating an existing one will find powerful information and encouragement here for a true marriage of minds."

-- Kirkus Reviews

"Pepper Schwartz is remarkable. She explains to us the possibilities for relationships that remain for so many a fantasy. This book is a necessity for anyone who wants to understand how partnerships work but more importantly wants to really love."

-- Wendy Wasserstein, Playwright: author of Isn't It Romantic?, The Heidi Chronicles, and The Sisters Rosensweig
