Peter Schneider, wie wird eine Ehe schön?

The author Barbara Lukesch, who has been married for 28 years, is convinced that leading a beautiful marriage is a skill that can be learned. To support this thesis, she contacted Zurich psychoanalyst Peter Schneider. He, who has been married for thirty years, she believed, would provide clear statements on how a marriage or partnership can succeed. Peter Schneider found the idea intriguing to explore what can make a marriage beautiful but also lead to its failure, and so the two took a lot of time to discuss everything that is important for a partnership: money, household, sexuality, conflict, equality, trust, children, love, and respect, as well as empathy, generosity, and humor. The fact that their conversations are now available in book form is a gift, as Barbara Lukesch is both a persistent and insightful questioner.
