The writer Elbert Hubbard said, "Art is not a thing; it is a way." A marital life characterized by dull routine, strained affections, absent or unfulfilling sex, and the stresses of unrelieved responsibility seems, more than a little, like an extended tour of Dante's Hell. Why bother? The author of The Marital Arts, Dr. Larry Stallman, believes that there is really very little reason to endure an uninspired marriage, and that there is another way: we can all choose the commitment to transform our marriage into something special, something transcendent, something like...Art. It is the purpose of this book to provide insight into the attitudes and values essential for the creation of Marital Art.
