Nationally acclaimed clinical psychologist Willard F. Harley, Jr., Ph.D., is the author of many books on marriage, including I Cherish You and Love Busters. He lives in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, with Joyce, his wife of thirty-eight years.

Book Synopsis

How can couples experience a lifetime of passion and fulfillment in marriage? By identifying each other's most important emotional needs and developing habits to meet them. This is the basis for two books from best-selling author Willard Harley.

Now it's easy for couples to learn together from these books--for the first time they can listen to five unabridged CDs of the widely popular His Needs, Her Needs, or to four unabridged audiotapes of Fall in Love, Stay in Love (read by the author). With these tools, spouses will learn about the Love Bank, how to cultivate passion, and how to resolve marital conflict.
