Medical Marriages 1st Edition

As a physician's spouse, I found this book very timely even though it was written more than 10 years ago. Every physician and their spouse should read this book, especially those in the 38-45 year old age group. The authors describe what drives a physician, what happens when reality does not meet their expecations, and how it impacts their spouse, children and their personal lives. I hope Dr. Menninger releases a new edition of this book soon!

Helped me see that I was fighting a losing battle during the 30 years I strove to improve my marriage. Personalities of individuals choosing medicine contribute to their 100%+ focus on patients & medicine leaving negligible time for spouse & family. I no longer wonder what else I could have done to save my marriage. I also feel some sadness for my ex as I gained knowledge about what drives him.
