Press Release Summary: New York, NY (XXX) August 6, 2008 - Many marriages fail
because of unrealistic expectations based on assumptions about how men and women
should relate to each other. Dr. Scott Haltzman, author of best-selling book, The
Secrets of Happily Married Men: Eight Ways to Win Your Wife's Heart Forever, speaks
about celebrating the equality of the sexes and acknowledging their innate strengths
and skills.

Press Release Body: Why do men hesitate to express their feelings and fears like
women do? Why can't they be like the wives who can multi-task with kids, prepare a
meal and talk on the phone all at the same time? Why can't they follow instructions
in marriage self-help books? These are the questions with which society has
stigmatized men and husbands. The same stigma which has led numerous marriages to
failure. Among the many relationship books the market has to offer, one book stands
out: The Secrets of Happily Married Men: Eight Ways to Win Your Wife's Heart Forever
by Dr. Scott Haltzman. The book provides new and effective ways for men and women to
understand and appreciate each other without losing the essential essence of their
biology and their mental and physical make up.

Blended-Families.com "Ask the Expert" series has invited Dr. Haltzman for an
interview on Thursday, August 21, 2008 at 6PM Pacific / 9PM Eastern. Dr. Haltzman
will talk about eight strategies that happily married men have indicated to be the
most important factors for enjoying a happy marriage while maintaining a strong
sense of themselves as male.

Dr Haltzman is a clinical assistant professor of psychiatry and human behavior at
Brown University and a couples and individual counselor. Dr. Haltzman is a member of
the \"Love Network\" of Redbook magazine, and is an editorial consultant of Best Life.
He co-authored the chapter, \"Men, Marriage and Divorce\" in the American Psychiatric
Press book: Men and Mental Health. He is an internationally recognized speaker,
presenting at the Annual Smart Marriages conference and at the annual meeting of the

Difference.\"
