"Marriage is based on a respectful, trusting relationship, and the McCarthys affirm that remarriage is an important choice that can lead to a rich, rewarding, and loving second chance. Getting It Right This Time provides resources needed to assess and change attitudes, behavior, and feelings to help you build a new marriage and stepfamily that will bring out the best in you as individuals and as a couple."--Jacket.
