Customer Reviews

very good!

this book is very good. it is practical, full of helpful suggestions and exercises. it offers just enough "theory" to sell the tasks and support their basis. everyone, that is many couples, to whom i've recommended this book, have made significant improvements in their relationship WHEN they have read the book, discussed it, and tried the changes. well worthwhile the read and several dollars for the improvements in the most important relationship you probably have!

A Very Helpful Resource

I found this workbook to be a very useful tool to use with a person or couple struggling in a marriage relationship. The strength of the workbook is found in that it doesn't seek to change the other spouse (a frustrating and futile venture), but rather focuses on the one who seeks help in the first place. How can the concerned spouse be a better husband or wife in the midst of the difficulties? Critical areas are covered, such as finances, sexual issues, and in-law tensions.

Puts It All Together

For a marriage to get back on track, many factors need to change. This workbook puts it all together in clear steps. Easy to read and very comprehensive. It is now my first choice in books to recommend to the couples I work with as a marriage counselor.
