Fairy tales and romantic novels have a habit of ending just as the happy couple set out on their life journey together. We rarely get to see how and if they succeed in having a happy married life.


Here in Happily Ever After, you get an insight into some of the challenges and joys that couples can face once they have committed to being together for the rest of their lives.


Drawing on her extensive experience as a relationship and psychosexual therapist, Barbara Duff shows you how to:


- create a happy and healthy relationship with your spouse

- communicate effectively

- respect your differences without compromising what is important to you

- recognise and articulate your own needs and expectations

- continue to have fun together and keep romance alive

- make yours a vibrant, loving and happily ever after marriage.

    I first saw Laura Dee's work when she was designing beautiful Christmas cards. Now she has produced a charming little book. Her text, a verse with a simple Christian message, is embellished with delicate line drawings.

    I’m a child of the age of 9 I’ll be 10 on the 25th July. My step mum purchased this book for me, I lost my mum when I was 6 and I believe she is in heaven, reading this book, has brought me a lot of comfort knowing that there really is a heaven and that my mum is looking over me. I would like to thank Laura Dee for doing such an incredible book ❤️

  • May Meeks

    Happily Ever After is a brilliantly inspired introduction for young folk of all ages, To learn about The reality of the coming Kingdom of God.
    Told and shown in a Wonderland way of child like faith, right at beginning of this gem of a little book, An Angel is blowing a Trumpet of The good news which is contained within it.
    Each page is full of light, no darkness in there at all.
    Showing The Great Love, protection, comfort, and peace, of Jesus’ care everywhere, Telling us the Truth of what awaits us, on our Journey and when we get there.

    Blessings Laura.

  • Dr Rita Glover Asst. Professor in Psychotherapy, Dublin City University, Ireland

    Making a lifelong committment to another person is a signifcant undertaking that requires reflection at a personal level and reflection as a couple. In 'Happily Ever After ' Barbara Duff has provided a comprehensive guide for engaging in such reflection. Pearls of wisdom on the cornerstones of healthy adult relationships, such as good communication, addressing feelings, managing conflict, trusting and being vulnerable with a partner and expressing sexual needs are sensitively discussed. Extrapolation of each relationship domain is supported by thought provoking, practical, interactive exercises that enable intimate partners to get to know themselves, each other and their relationship better. This contemporary text is a valueable resource for those planning to get married and for those who want to improve or maintain a healthy adult intimate relationship.
