A marriage usually deteriorates slowly, after months or years of simmering tension and poor communication.

Divorce and parental separation have been associated with a range of adverse outcomes affecting all those involved in the process. But why is it challenging for men, as multiple studies indicate it to be? How could men and women create a support system that will help the couple overcome challenges related to the split and help children cope with their parent's separation?

Marriage has been directly associated with men's health. 66% of men rely on their wives for their primary social support. Thus, divorce dramatically increases a man's sense of isolation.

Divorce will mess you up in ways you never imagined and at times when you least expect it. You can have three or four days in a row where you're focused on other parts of your life like your career or your children and then…BOOM! You wake up one morning, and you're drowning in emotional quicksand.

This book explores what happens to some men when a marriage ends in divorce despite the best intentions and heroic efforts on all sides.
