Press Release Summary = Stereotypes get in the way of successful marriages, says
author. Couples therapist Dr. Max Vogt dispels the myth that creating a great
marriage takes time, sacrifice and personal change in this ground-breaking new book
that claims couples, not counselors, are the experts in creating their own great
marriages.

Press Release Body = Boise, ID (PRWeb) January 24, 2007 -- Couples therapist Dr. Max
Vogt is a confessed renegade. His approach to marriage counseling isn\'t one of
laying blame on one partner or the other, or of expecting one partner to change. In
You Don\'t Have to Change Who You Are to Have a Great Marriage (Morgan James, 2007),
Dr.Vogt helps couples break down stereotypes of men and women so they can achieve
intimacy and equality in marriage.



Dr. Vogt, known to his clients as Dr. Max, believes great marriages are doable and
that there are understandable roadmaps on the path to success. His male clients,
especially, who were leery of being \"ganged up on\" by wives and counselors, are
delighted to learn of Dr. Max\'s blueprint for marriage. One that\'s understandable
and approachable. And women feel relieved of the burden of defining relationship
standards.

\"For some reason, since the early days of marriage counseling, women have been seen
as uniquely qualified to perceive the problems in a marriage. As the ones who cared
most,\" says Vogt, a Ph.D. psychologist with 25 years\' experience counseling couples.
\"That\'s hogwash! Because of this false belief about women, a lot of men have been
getting the shaft because there is never a chance for them to be equal in the
relationship. I want to create an environment for both partners in a relationship to
learn and participate in making a great marriage.\"

Dr. Max\'s Blueprint for Marriage provides the guidelines for couples to build (or
rebuild) a great marriage. \"No one would dream of building a house without a
blueprint. Yet most people will start building relationships and marriages without
the slightest thought that they need a plan to be successful in marriage! The vast
majority dive into marriage assuming they\'ll figure it out along the way,\" adds Dr.
Max. The book provides a free link to an online evaluation form that will help
couples evaluate their marriage.

You Don\'t Have to Change Who You Are to Have a Great Marriage takes readers step by
step through a series of questions and strategies to uncover and clarify your
Marriage Blueprint. He describes how your Marriage Blueprint \"shows up\" in the areas
of sex, parenting, money, personal development and religion/spirituality in your
marriage and family. \"These blueprints are long-held beliefs that you may not even
realize guide your actions and your decisions,\" states Vogt. \"If things aren\'t
working, then the problem is usually that your model of marriage and family
(\'blueprints\') and that of your partner are in conflict!\"

Dr. Max believes that no one can tell you what a great marriage is -- you have to
find out for yourself. \"I don\'t care how great or wonderful your therapist, guru,
pastor, counselor or television personality is. They don\'t know the answer! I don\'t
know the answer. All I can do is show you how to find the answer for yourself!\"

And that\'s exactly what he does in You Don\'t Have to Change Who You Are to Have a
Great Marriage.
