‘Let’s Stick Together’ is the helpful, easy-to-read and practical guide to strengthening your marriage when the pitter patter of tiny feet shake the foundations of your marriage. Learn the three simple habits that will keep the love alive and protect your relationship against the pressures that parenting brings.

The problem is universal! All marriages feel the strain when you move from being a couple to being a family. Sleepless nights, exhaustion, new responsibility; they all lead to arguments over the insignificant matters, spending less time with each other and the love you once felt slowly fading away. But the solutions aren’t difficult, complicated, or unrealistic.

Harry Benson has taught thousands of couples through his course called ‘Let’s Stick Together’. He’s taught antenatal and postnatal groups, marriage preparation course, parenting classes, he has even been to prisons to share his expertise. Harry insists that no matter how different we are, as individuals or couples, the principles for a successful marriage are common. And he’s condensed his relationship knowledge into three simple and highly practical principles:

• ‘STOP Signs: the 4 bad habits we all have in relationships, how to regonise them and how to take responsibility of them.
• ‘Love Languages’: the 5 ways we receive and give love (based on Gary Chapman’s teaching).
• ‘Keeping Dad Involved’: practical ways for Dad to be a friend to Mum, and a co-parent to your children.

A wealth of research shows that relationship course, marriage counseling and books like this make a huge difference, increasing your odds of sticking together and creating a loving and stable environment for your children. This book is essentially all that research condensed and presented as a short, easy-to-read book designed to instill those positive changes in your marriage that will help you to stick together.
