Customer Reviews

Easy to read, easy steps to follow, it all makes sense!

This book is one of the best marital advice books I have ever read. It's written with you and I in mind, simple words and examples that are easy to follow. My husband and I read it at the same time and found it very interesting and useful to talk about with each other. The examples in the book, both pro and con for their points, really drive home the issues and make it much easier to understand the theory. I would highly reccommend this book to anyone who is married or thinking about getting married, even if you think there's nothing there to fix. This just helps make the bond and relationship much better.

Nuts and Bolts approach, came at just the right time

I received this book from a friend on loan, now I am buying my own copy. I found the approach to be practical, applied, with good examples and really hopeful. Sure it's using ideas that have been around, but the couple who wrote this put these ideas in a clear, informative and helpful format. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it sure gave me some terrific ideas to use. I recommend it for people who are struggling with cycles of blame and resentment in their relationships. It's not about naming the disease as much as looking for practical things you can do about it. Definitely worth the price of admission.
