Material in this series has previously been presented in public; in lectures, courses, workshops, on radio broadcasts, in my catalog of Torah Tapes, and in published articles.

The material derives from about twenty five years of research and work experience. Some derives from practical experience counseling individuals and couples. Some comes from interviewing mature, successful and happily married "veterans" - as well as miserably divorced "veterans." Some comes from consulting with marriage counselors, rabbis who deal with troubled marriages and divorce and who decide practical laws on relationship and marriage questions, dayonim (Torah judges) who adjudicate divorces and witness marital degeneration, social workers and psychologists. Some comes from matchmaking, wherein I see singles in various forms of relationship dynamics and behavior (which grows into marriage, or which falls with a splat). Some comes from people asking me personal, emotion-laden questions, after a presentation or in my role as a rabbi.
