|  MARRIED WITH SPECIAL-NEEDS CHILDREN looks at the ways in which having a child with a developmental disability, serious medical condition, or mental illness can make it more difficult for a marriage to thrive and how a child's intensive needs can change the structure of a marriage. The authors examine many of the underlying stresses and common pitfalls experienced in these marriages and present a wide range of strategies for handling or preventing problems. Marshak and Prezant also describe what makes a marriage strong, such as continuing to share connections outside of parenting roles, keeping a sense of autonomy, and sharing childcare responsibilities. Throughout are quotes from husbands and wives, offering special insight into what was especially difficult for them, what solutions they've discovered, and what they wished they'd done differently.
For parents looking for ways to strengthen their marriage, prevent future strife, or resolve or move on from significant relationship difficulties, this guide offers guidance and expertise for taking the next step. MARRIED WITH SPECIAL-NEEDS CHILDREN is also invaluable to mental health professionals, giving them a realistic view of what many of their clients are dealing with on a day-to-day basis.
