A few years ago, Dr. Springer became interested in how equally powerful partners form lifelong relationships. She organized and conducted The Lifestyle Poll, a survey of over 1200 well-educated women. Results showed a strikingly low divorce rate in this sample – less than 6% had divorced despite relationships averaging over seven years in length. (According to census data, the majority of couples who divorce do so within seven years). Moreover, despite acknowledging a variety of struggles and problems, her sample reported very high levels of relationship satisfaction overall. Her book, Marriage, for Equals: The Successful Joint (Ad)Ventures of Well-Educated Couples, explores these findings in light of relationship theories, marital research, and clinical observations. The end result is a guide to a marriage of equals that offers a blunt, bold and refreshingly truthful approach about what it takes to create and sustain a truly exceptional partnership.
