FEATURING ENRICO GNAULATI - Marriage, family, and domestic bliss are constant topics of discussion and debate in the U.S. From battles over marriage equality, the nuclear family, rising divorce rates, the rise of feminism, and conservative Christian insistence that traditional marriage is the bedrock of society, the discourse around intimate relationships is fraught with social, religious, and moral notions of love. 

Further, conservatives such as Congress’s new Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson in particular, have used scriptural views of family and marriage as cover for homophobia and transphobia. 

Now, a clinical psychologist brings decades of experience, both professional and personal, to readers in a new book about sustaining long-term relationships while rejecting organized religion’s view of morality. Enrico Gnaulati’s latest book is Flourishing Love: A Secular Guide to Lasting Intimate Relationships.
