A Practical Must-Read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fighting for Your Marriage: Positive Steps for Preventing Divorce and Preserving a Lasting Love (Paperback)
This is a fabulous book on how to communicate and get along. It is jam-packed with tons of DETAILED examples of good and bad conversations. This is not a book about theoretical relationship issues, but about the common issues that confront all of us. The book gives you detailed, common-sense, practical steps on how to communicate better and get along better. And then it illustrates the concepts heavily, so you know how to put the suggestions into practice.The book is also very interactive. It gives you many quizzes, questions to answer and exercises - almost like a workbook. There's plenty here for you and your partner to learn, to talk about and then to practice. If you like books that give specific suggestions, samples and ways to apply the concepts directly to your life, you'll love this book. The book is balanced, non-judgemental, matter-of-fact and not religious at all (despite the chapter on spiritual intimacy). Like many other reviewers on this site, I think I will give this book to friends who are getting married.

Good book, but some concerns,
By feminist military spouse (Akron, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fighting for Your Marriage: Positive Steps for Preventing Divorce and Preserving a Lasting Love (Paperback)
This book has a lot of worthwhile information in it, however, there are some obvious problems with it as well. It makes some overarching statements like "70% of women behave", without citing the source of their information. In fact there is no bibliography. Thus this book should be viewed with a critical eyes, with the reader asking whether certain information really applies to their marriage.

A real help,
This review is from: Fighting for Your Marriage: Positive Steps for Preventing Divorce and Preserving a Lasting Love (Paperback)
After the gown is packed away comes the reality that marriage is hard. How come no one told us? This book contains real strategies for making your marriage stronger. After years of trying to explain to my husband how I felt he sometimes dismissed my feelings, I did a cartwheel after discovering a whole chapter on what the authors call "invalidating" your partner's feelings - one of the most toxic things you can do in a marriage. Well my husband used to do it - a lot. This book opened his eyes - and saved my sanity.
