Today, marriage has changed from a one‐vote to a two‐vote system. This offers a better relationship, but it is more difficult to manage, and, consequently, there are many failures. Two solutions are currently being offered: (a) education as information‐giving, which is often not acted upon; and (b) therapy, which can come too late to be effective. Both systems must be retained. But a third process, marriage enrichment, applies our new knowledge preventively, promises to be more effective, and needs to be more widely understood and applied.
