By Barry Sukoneck

Unlike other books about relationships that focus on theory and abstract psychological concepts, Coupling is a down-to-earth, practical handbook of coupling skills , a compendium of knowledge, which grows out of Dr. Barry Sukoneck's 45+ years of international experience as a mental health professional, helping couples of all kinds successfully navigate their most difficult and stressful problems. Think of Coupling as a "field guide" to the unfamiliar terrain of relationship problems, and a quick reference guide to the skills--from basic to advanced--that couples need to solve these problems. Written in clear, practical English that anyone can instantly understand, Coupling teaches skills through "dialogues" between couples and their therapists. HERE'S WHAT YOU GET: MANY PRACTICAL, EASY DIALOGUES--each attached to specific coupling skills--that you will use from day one to speak to your partner and improve your relationship; A "CATALOG OF SKILLS" to which you will refer for months and years to come A TRUSTWORTHY AUTHORITY in Dr. Barry Sukoneck, who has 45+ years experience helping all kinds of couples breakthrough into happier and more satisfying relationships; ENCOURAGEMENT to fight for your relationship, and never give up; A RESOURCES SECTION that you can use to find further information and valuable help; HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: LEARN HOW TO TALK--and listen --to your partner through practical dialogues that successful couples use; FIGURE OUT how to tackle MAJOR relationship problems like cheating, sex issues, and abuse ; GET NEW INSIGHT on how to deal with a partner who does not like to talk about your issues; GRASP THE NEED to forgive and forget, and how important it is; HOW TO be determined and fight for your relationship; DEALING WITH PARTNERS who are tentative about intimacy and affection ...AND much more practical advice and guidance culled from Barry Sukoneck's decades of experience working with couples. In the end, you know that you must gain the skills you need to build a lasting, happy, and satisfying relationship. But you are not born with these skills. Nor is your partner.

Coupling will help you do just that.
