When Sts. Louis and Zélie Martin were canonized in 2015, they were the first spouses to be declared saints as a couple. Their lives are proof that God works through ordinary families to draw his future saints—like St. Thérèse of Lisieux, Louis and Zélie’s youngest daughter—toward holiness. Even before their first encounter in the small town of Alençon, France, God was preparing Louis and Zélie for marriage. Later, he continued to sustain them powerfully in their married love and family life. Rooted in Love: Louis and Zélie Martin: Models of Married Love, Family Life, and Everyday Holiness explores the stages of Louis and Zélie’s marriage, from the joys of parenthood, through the sorrows of bereavement, and ultimately to the challenges of single parenthood—experiences which many families face today. Author Annette Goulden demonstrates how, amid both the joys and the sorrows of family life, these saints grew in their understanding of God’s love for them. From the initial urge to earn God’s favor with sacrifices and sufferings to a deeper understanding of God’s unconditional love even in the minutiae of daily life, God was their guide on the path to holiness, a path that is open to all married couples. This book is for both families and individuals—to offer them light and guidance to live their ordinary everyday life in closeness with God. No matter one’s vocation in life, Louis and Zélie exemplify how everyday experiences, such as being a working parent, running a business, or raising a difficult child, can be sacramental if one is open to a trusting relationship with God, even when he seems to be absent. Whatever the situation a married couple find themselves in, this saintly couple shows how daily actions and choices—however small and ordinary—are highly valued by God and can lead to holiness, to a close relationship with him, and to forming children who are strong in faith, maturity, and joy. The book contains a fully linked index and 41 photos. About the Author Annette Goulden, O.C.D.S., is a Secular Discalced Carmelite from Newbury, England. In 2002, she helped found a new Secular Order community in Oxford. She has served the Discalced Carmelite Secular Order in numerous capacities, including as national president and as a member of the O.C.D.S. National Council.

Until her recent retirement, Annette worked as a doctor, specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry. She gained an additional qualification in psychoanalytical psychotherapy and has trained in spiritual direction. Her extensive background in both Carmelite spirituality and psychology, combined with her life experience as a mother and grandmother, makes Annette Goulden ideally placed to have written this insightful study of Sts. Louis and Zélie Martin.

The Tenacity of the Couple-Norm explores the ongoing strength and insidious grip of couple-normativity across changing landscapes of law, policy and everyday life in four contrasting national contexts: the UK, Bulgaria, Norway and Portugal. By investigating how the couple-norm is lived and experienced, how it has changed over time, and how it varies between places and social groups, this book provides a detailed analysis of changing intimate citizenship regimes in Europe, and makes a major intervention in understandings of the contemporary condition of personal life. The authors develop the feminist concept of ‘intimate citizenship’ and propose the new concept of ‘intimate citizenship regime’, offering a study of intimate citizenship regimes as normative systems that have been undergoing profound change in recent decades. Against the backdrop of processes of de-patriarchalization, liberalization, pluralization and homonormalization, the ongoing potency of the couple-norm becomes ever clearer.

This book presents an incisive and engaging account of love, intimacy and personal life in contemporary Western society. The authors draw on rich qualitative and large-scale survey data to explore how couples communicate with each other, negotiate the pressures and pleasures of parenthood, and the vagaries of sexual desire and intimacy across life course. Focusing on ‘the everyday’, Couple Relationships in the 21st Century unpicks the ordinary and often mundane relationship work that goes into sustaining a relationship over time, breaking down the dichotomy between enduring relationships of quality and good enough or endured relationships. It contests the separation of couples into distinct relationship types – defined through age, parenthood or sexuality. Looking through the lens of relationship practices it is clear that there is no ‘normal couple’: couples are what couples do. With a foreword by Dr Reenee Singh, Director, London Intercultural Couples Centre and Co-Director, Tavistock Family Therapy and Systemic Research Centre, this new extended edition provides an invaluable critical insight on contemporary experiences of coupledom and will be essential reading for scholars and students, clinicians working in couple and family therapy, and those involved in relationship support services.

Background: Most people with dementia live in their own homes, often together with their partners, who become informal caregivers. Relationship quality and sense of couplehood can be threatened as a result of the transition from a mutually interdependent relationship to a caregiver-care-receiver relationship. This, in turn, may lead to many negative consequences for both partners. Support provided for couples is often divided into different types for the person with dementia and for the partner without dementia and lacks couple-based support that targets the relationship, resources and the couple’s everyday life together. Aim: The overall aim of this thesis is to explore couple-centred interventions in dementia and to develop and test a salutogenic, resource-oriented and couple-based intervention among couples in which one partner has dementia living at home. Methods and findings: This thesis comprises three parts: The first part Exploring involves two linked reviews, one narrative review (study I A) and one scoping review (study I B) that aim to identify and describe what previous couple-centred interventions comprised and why they were conducted. The results of the reviews revealed a knowledge gap in and a need for easily accessible support that targets couple relationships, resources and everyday life. The second part Developing (study II) refers to the development of an easily accessible resource-oriented couple-management intervention. The first step was to identify priority topics for such an intervention through a co-researcher process with couples living with dementia. This included a comprehensive literature review, interviews with couples in which one partner has dementia, and consultation meetings with expert groups of people with dementia and partners in both Sweden and the UK. The co-researcher process and the expert meetings informed four main themes with corresponding sub-themes that couples with dementia considered as important to their wellbeing in their everyday lives: (1) Home and Neighbourhood, (2) Meaningful Activities and Relationships, (3) Approach and Empowerment, and (4) Couplehood. The themes were further developed and integrated into the multimedia application DemPower, which was developed for the delivery of the intervention. The third part Testing and Evaluating describes a feasibility study (study III) in which the DemPower application was tested for feasibility and acceptability among couples in Sweden and the UK. The results of the feasibility study indicated that the DemPower intervention was feasible and acceptable among couples in which one partner has dementia living at home. The testing and evaluating part also comprise a qualitative study (study IV) that explores the experiences of engaging with DemPower together as a couple living with dementia in Sweden. The findings resulted in the three themes: (1) Growth of the relationship, (2) We are not alone, and (3) Positive approach, which the couples appreciated and associated with the resource-oriented and salutogenic approach of DemPower. The overall findings of the thesis are presented in a concluding synthesis at the end of the thesis. The concluding synthesis, focused on “Meaningfulness”, “Empowering health promotion”, “Normalization” and “Transitions and couplehood”, represents the core findings of this thesis. What this thesis adds: This thesis contributes to research, healthcare and the public by highlighting the need for a salutogenic approach toward couples living with dementia. The DemPower application, with its focus on couples’ relationships, resource-orientation and everyday life, has proven feasibility and acceptability and has meaningfully addressed a gap in the literature and in practice. As researchers, healthcare professionals and the public, we need to support couples where one partner has dementia to continue to live as normal life as possible. This can best be achieved by focusing on what couples can do, by inclusion and by valuing them as the experts within dementia research and of their life experiences. Bakgrund: Majoriteten av personer med demens bor i sitt eget hem och ofta tillsammans med sin partner som blir en informell vårdgivare. Relationens kvalitet och känsla av parskap hotas ofta till följd av övergången från en ömsesidig beroenderelation till en vårdgivare-vårdtagar-relation allt eftersom demenssjukdomen fortskrider. Detta kan innebära många negativa konsekvenser. Stöd för par där ena partnern har demens delas ofta upp i olika former för personen med demens och för partnern utan demens, vilket innebär att det saknas parbaserat resursorienterat stöd med inriktning på att främja parrelationen och parets vardagliga liv. Syfte: Syftet med denna avhandling är att utforska parcentrerade interventioner inom demens och att utveckla och testa ett parbaserat, salutogent och resursorienterat stöd för par där ena partnern har en demenssjukdom och som bor tillsammans i det egna hemmet. Metoder och fynd: Denna avhandling består av tre delar. Den första delen att utforska inkluderar två länkade litteraturöversikter, en narrativ översikt och en kartläggande översikt (studie I) som beskriver tidigare interventioner för par som lever med demens och varför de genomförts. Resultaten av översikterna visade ett kunskapsgap i, och ett behov av lättillgängligt stöd som riktar sig till parförhållanden, parens resurser och att främja det vardagliga livet. Den andra delen, att skapa (studie II) involverar utvecklingen av ett lättillgängligt resursorienterat och parbaserat stöd. Det första steget var att identifiera prioriterade ämnen för en sådan intervention tillsammans med par som lever med demens, genom en så kallad medforskarprocess. Detta inkluderade en omfattande litteraturgenomgång, intervjuer med par där ena partnern har demens, och konsultationsmöten med expertgrupper bestående av personer med demens och partners i Sverige och i Storbritannien. Medforskarprocessen och expertmötena resulterade i fyra huvudteman med motsvarande underteman vilka par med demens ansåg vara viktiga för deras relation och för välbefinnande i vardagen: (1) Hem och grannskap, (2) Meningsfulla aktiviteter och relationer, (3) Förhållningssätt och empowerment och (4) Parskap. Dessa teman vidareutvecklades och integrerades i multimedia-applikationen DemPower, som utvecklades i syfte att erbjuda interventionen till par som lever med demens. Den tredje delen att testa och att utvärdera beskriver genomförbarhetsstudien (studie III) där applikationen DemPower testades med avseende på genomförbarhet och acceptabilitet hos par där en partner har demens i Sverige och i Storbritannien. Resultaten av studien visade att DemPower-interventionen var genomförbar och acceptabel bland par där ena partnern har demens. Denna delen av avhandlingen inkluderar även en kvalitativ studie (studie IV) som undersökte parens erfarenheter av att testa DemPower tillsammans som ett par. De samlade upplevelserna resulterade i tre teman: (1) Utveckling av parrelationen, (2) Vi är inte ensamma och (3) Positivt förhållningssätt. De övergripande resultaten från avhandlingen presenteras även i en konkluderande syntes i slutet av avhandlingen. Den konkluderande syntesen med fokus på Meningsfullhet, Empowerment, Normalisering och Parskap representerar kärnan i denna avhandling. Avhandlingens slutsatser och kunskapsbidrag: DemPower-applikationen med fokus på parförhållanden, hälsofrämjande resurser och vardagen har bidragit med ett stöd som vilar på en genuin parbaserad grund tillämpad i det vardagliga livet för par som lever med demens. Denna avhandling bidrar även med kunskap till forskning, vård och allmänheten genom att lyfta fram ett salutogent förhållningssätt till par som lever med demens. Som forskare, vårdpersonal och allmänhet bör vi stödja par där ena partnern har demens för att de ska kunna fortsätta leva ett så normalt liv som möjligt. Detta kan bäst uppnås genom att fokusera på parens resurser, genom inkludering och genom att värdera dem som experter inom demensforskning och i deras livserfarenheter.

Jalel Sager, Hanoi, Viet Nam ******* You see, when we knew we were a serious couple, we made an agreement, a solemn oath, to make sure we found the personal and spiritual lessons, the hidden blessings . . . in our differences . . .and of course what that really meant was in any conflict that we would inevitably get into. That's how we discovered the magic in our differences . . . Just like they exist in your differences . . .Oh, Yes they do! You see, when we had to resolve our conflicts so both of us benefitted . . . Cause that's what it means when you love someone . . . you can't want to wipe someone out and emotionally clobber them . . . and call it love . . . No way! So through practicing healthy conflict resolution that's how we realized the very real magic in our differences, the real-life magic that continues to help us reach further and further for the truth . . . Far beyond our nutty, unconscious blind spots that were responsible for most if not all of the conflicts we've gotten into. We're also committed to the joy of affection across those differences . . . and that's opened up a whole new powerful world of "Small Kindnesses" That creates an atmosphere of playful sweetness between us all the rest of the time that we call The Joy of Small Kindnesses. There's something more about our differences that's been majorly important . . .and we know it's hugely important to you. You see, it's been in those differences that we've also discovered the romantic power, the sweet little passions in what we call "Small Kindnesses" . . . the tiny little endearments that rekindle romance and keep love ready to move you forward. You know yourself that you always want to be remembered . . . you want to know that you're still special in the eyes and heart of the one you love . . . So, that's why Small Kindnesses are so important. And in "Living Your Love Every Day" you'll get to read about how we weave them into our everyday life. You see this book isn't an academic or psychological text. It's not even your typical self-help book.

While observing exotic animal trainers for her acclaimed book Kicked, Bitten, and Scratched, journalist Amy Sutherland had an epiphany: What if she used these training techniques with the human animals in her own life–namely her dear husband, Scott? In this lively and perceptive book, Sutherland tells how she took the trainers’ lessons home. The next time her forgetful husband stomped through the house in search of his mislaid car keys, she asked herself, “What would a dolphin trainer do?” The answer was: nothing. Trainers reward the behavior they want and, just as important, ignore the behavior they don’t. Rather than appease her mate’s rising temper by joining in the search, or fuel his temper by nagging him to keep better track of his things in the first place, Sutherland kept her mouth shut and her eyes on the dishes she was washing. In short order, Scott found his keys and regained his cool. “I felt like I should throw him a mackerel,” she writes. In time, as she put more training principles into action, she noticed that she became more optimistic and less judgmental, and their twelve-year marriage was better than ever. What started as a goofy experiment had such good results that Sutherland began using the training techniques with all the people in her life, including her mother, her friends, her students, even the clerk at the post office. In the end, the biggest lesson she learned is that the only animal you can truly change is yourself. Full of fun facts, fascinating insights, hilarious anecdotes, and practical tips, What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love, and Marriage describes Sutherland’s Alice-in-Wonderland experience of stumbling into a world where cheetahs walk nicely on leashes and elephants paint with watercolors, and of leaving a new, improved Homo sapiens.
