trading places: the best move you'll ever make in your marriage

Excellent. Empathy is a must and this book oozes with how to get it and keep it in your marriage.

Wonderful Book

I loved this book; the Parrots have taken a simple concept--empathy--and made it practical, helpful, and inspiring. It's refreshing to read a book with this much depth that also turns out to be a very enjoyable read. I laughed out loud several times, had my mind expanded with some fascinating research, and had my heart convicted. What more could you want in a book?

Definitely worth your time!

If you're looking to deepen and grow your relationship with your spouse (or anyone else for that matter), you'll be challenged, encouraged, and motivated by the authors of Trading Places. Truly seeing things from another's perspective isn't easy, but Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott have given me tools in this book that have opened my eyes to more clearly see and understand the person standing in front of me. Don't hesitate to make this purchase--it's worth every penny!

Trading Places

My husband and I both read "Trading Places" by Drs. Les & Leslie Parrott and we recommend it to every couple no matter what stage of marriage you are in. Frankly, even if you aren't married this is a great book. It's for anyone and everyone because we all need more empathy in this crazy busy world where it's easy to forget to consider someone else's perspective. Read it.

I Love This Book!

If you're looking for a practical way to improve your marriage quickly, this is it. It's all about walking in your partner's shoes - a simple concept that I usually have a hard time doing. Until now. The authors gave me some new ideas I hadn't thought of before. I tried them out and it instantly turned around a potential conflict. Once I got into the book, my husband noticed it on my nightstand and is now reading it as well! By the way, the his/her workbooks are a big plus if you're looking for ways to personalize the book's content or study the book in a small group.
