The art of marriage is finding fewer and fewer artists these days. It is also widely held that as national politics go, so go our marriages. As a therapist, Bronson has seen this come to sorry light in the worst way, which begs the question: 'Why save a marriage that doesn't want to be saved?' Because, Bronson contends, as with politics, people are more productively functional and happier when they get along. Partnerships work, although many contend that we should change partners now and again. While an apt therapist, Bronson is not a moralist. He does not tell people how to love or who(m) to love. All he seeks to do, is help people to feel whole and able about radiating love, and in that shining light often partners see their spouses in a better light. His message to making impossible marriages is simple: Before you elect to become half, first become whole.
