This is the 30th Anniversary edition of Beyond Affairs. It was groundbreaking when first published in 1980 and is just as relevant today as more couples are seeking ways of coping with the devastating impact of affairs. This was the first book in which a couple candidly shared their first-person experience in dealing with affairs and working through the emotional trauma to rebuild their marriage. The writing is unique in that it tells the story from the perspective of both the husband and the wife. Now married 55 years, the Vaughans include an Epilogue in this new edition to bring readers up to date on their story. They were the first couple to go on national TV to discuss their personal experience with affairs. This was the beginning of their long-term effort to provide information and perspective to other couples facing this challenge. Peggy has written extensively on the subject, including her classic, "The Monogamy Myth." Since 1996 she has run an Extramarital Affairs Resource Center through her website: dearpeggy.com

This book was written to show couples how to transform their romantic love into a more permanent lasting love. After the first chapter, the rest of the book presents one idea per page--so you can open it to any page and find something of value and practical use.  It avoids the gimmicks and sexual gymnastics so common in "how to" books about love and encourages couples to consistently act on the things they already know but often fail to do. It guides couples in recognizing and addressing the core issues underlying the nitty-gritty issues that seem to cause so many problems. It elevates the significance of lasting love beyond just the benefits of a good relationship--to show how it enriches life as a whole.  James and Peggy were married for more than 57 years until Peggy's death in 2012. In addition to their professional expertise, they used their personal experience to inform much of the wisdom contained in this book.

Psychology & Counseling

This book reports the results of a Survey on Extramarital Affairs involving 1,083 participants whose spouses had had affairs. Each participant answered 35 multiple-choice questions as well as responding (on an open-ended basis) to the question: "How could therapists be more effective in dealing with affairs?"  From the many comments offered in response to this question, 12 points of "Advice to Therapists" are included in the book, along with the direct quotes from respondents. The information gained from the responses to this survey will be useful not only for therapists in more effectively dealing with this issue--but also for those who are currently struggling to recover from a spouse's affair.  I think this book is nothing short of magnificent. It confirms everything that my patients have taught me over the last 28 years. I think it is a must for those who have experienced an affair, and equally important for those who treat affairs. For therapists, the page on patients' advice to them is worth the price of the book.  --Don-David Lusterman, Ph.D., author of "Infidelity: A Survival Guide."  You have written a terrific resource for the lay public and therapists alike. What an effective use of quotes. And I value the data about dissatisfaction with therapists; it's such a crap shoot for people seeking help. Your comments about how marital therapists ignore the affair were quite telling. Congratulations on an important public service.  --William J. Doherty, Ph.D., Director of the Marriage and Family Therapy Program, Department of Family Social Science, University of Minnesota.

Making Love Stay: Everything You Ever Knew About Love But Forgot

This book is unique in that it addresses issues of concern to everyone who has been affected by an extramarital affair. It contains 260 questions from men and women who have been on all sides of this issue, including those who have had affairs themselves, those who have been hurt by the affair of a spouse or committed partner, and those who have been the third party in an affair. The common thread of all the questions is the pain and devastation experienced by everyone who finds themselves involved in any of the various roles. This book provides valuable insight through Peggy Vaughan's responses based on her 30 years of experience in helping people deal with this issue. And since most people are likely to be touched by an affair at some point (either personally or in responding to a friend or family member), it is essential reading for everyone.
