ENUMCLAW, Wash., June 15 /Christian Newswire/ -- A recent study suggests married couples are now at the greatest risk of divorcing just before their fifth anniversary when the 'honeymoon' period is over and disillusionment and disaffection often set in. The research reveals a shift from previous years when the danger point was the 'seven year itch.'
 
The results of the study are no surprise to Myra Montgomery Bell, author of "The Honeymoon Is Over – Secrets Of A Happy Marriage Even When It Doesn't Feel Like One (WinePress, 2008)" which prepares couples to navigate the choppy waters of the first five years and build solid marriages. Married in 2000 at the age of 45, the author offers readers practical advice as well as a realistic look at marriage from the "front lines" as she and her husband built their relationship.
 
"There were times that I would wish I could point the TV remote control at Chris and turn him off," says Bell.
 
Bell says she made a diligent effort to prepare herself for married life before walking down the aisle. "Unfortunately, much of the information and advice I read came from people who were married several years, who cited only that the first five years were very hard. I wrote the book to share what I learned while it was still 'fresh'."
 
Written in an easy-to-read, conversational style, "The Honeymoon Is Over" delivers straight talk about both the joy and pitfalls of marriage during this crucial period. Laced with humor and personal anecdotes, the author encourages women to embrace the role of wife as God designed it and reassures couples that they can be successful and build a strong marriage by dealing with real issues early in their relationship.
 
Bell is an ordained minister and popular speaker. She and her husband founded and currently lead Living Way Christian Fellowship Church in Pittsburgh, PA.
