This is one of the most concise books I have encountered about the most common problems that married couples find themselves. It cuts thru some of the current common ways that many well meaning mental health professionals keep people in the loop of returning over and over again for failed ideas. It promotes a level playing field where problems in marriage can be solved and if both sides in the marriage use the simple guidelines almost all issues can resolved to a "win win".

This is the best book written on how to make a marriage last. My husband and I went to counseling and our counselor used this book as a basis for our therapy. We have been married for 14 years and the book helped us deal with reoccuring problems. I wish we could have read this book before we got married. This is the BEST GIFT you could ever give an engaged couple. Also, if you know of someone who needs marital counseling, but cannnot afford it, this is like giving them $500 worth of counseling for the price of a book. A+++
I liked the way information was gathered. It is not a fun book as far as recreational reading, however the main point which in my opinion is establishing friendship and keeping friendship. The advice seems well documented and thought out. I'm not as big on all of the suggestions, but getting to the main point is crucial.
The book was a fresh approach to discovering common marital problems and learning how to correct and prevent them in the future. It was realistic and understandable, giving practical guidelines to follow and put into practice on a daily basis. It was recommended by a therapist who uses the principles in his practice.
This is a fantastic book that I would recommend highly to anyone interested in healthy communication in marriage -- or just healthy relationships in general.
This is a wonderful book for couples!I've only read into the first couple of chapters and already learned different ways to speak to my husband.
This book was recommended by our marriage counselor and it is an excellent addition to our counseling...
