Helped me communicate better with my wife. by J. Walters  5 Stars
June 15, 2009
When my wife walked out on me I wondered if I had anything to do with the troubles we were having. This book helped me with my side of the communication. The arguments stopped immediately after I read this book which indicates I was at least part of the problem. I highly recommend this book and two others--"The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work" by John M. Gottman and "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman.

Relationships Require Skills by Dr. Emily Kensington (USA) 4 Stars
January 24, 2009
As a marriage counselor, I know that one of the vital components of healthy long-term relationships are two fully independent (both financially and emotionally) adults that have the ability to communicate, with empathy, their changing needs and goals over time.
The reason is that people and couples change over time, so negotiation skills are a must.
The book helps show you the way.

Best self-help book so far by Eryn Marie (UK) 5 Stars
February 25, 2008
After being with my husband for 7 years, we seem to row over the silliest and smallest thing. I knew my relationship is not going well. Having found this book on the internet, I decided to give it a try.
I have to say this book is purely based on research on what makes couples happy or unhappy. Communication is very important and I liked the "relationship bank account", which I found very true. I have applied the knowledge and recommendation and even after a week, my marriage has turned around for the best and we are enjoying a very fruitful relationship now.
It is a very good book for couples and I think it should be mandatory to people prior to marriage. I will certainly highly recommend it to friends and family.
Another good book : Joseph Bailey "Slowing down to the speed of love".

Couples Issues: We Can Work It Out by Alan Stafford (Charlotte, NC) 4 Stars
November 29, 2005
This book is based upon an innovative, revolutionary twenty-year study. It is a simple-to-understand and clearly-worded guide that provides you with straightforward, scientifically demonstrated techniques that can help you make your relationship work.
At the heart of the concepts presented by authors Clifford Notarius, Ph.D., and Howard Markman, Ph.D., is their "Better Talk" program. This program is unique among communication improvement practices. Better Talk builds upon the foundation set up in the introduction of the book. It permits couples to understand how to communicate using respect and shared understanding, especially when having conversations of a problem-solving nature. Instead of arguing with one another, couples discover how to work together to tackle their problems. Couples learn how to work on the same team, and to use constructive interaction instead of anger.
What truly stands out about this book is that instead of focusing on what makes a relationship fail, We Can Work It Out instead looks at what makes a couple succeed. To determine what the key elements of successful relationships actually are, the authors dedicated 20 years to studying relationships and what makes them work. Their key finding: A happy and successful relationship is based upon the couple's capacity to work through their differences, not actually on the individuals themselves.
By using diagnostic questionnaires, examples, and easy-to-understand explanations, We Can Work It Out very practically and realistically helps you to identify your problem areas and patterns, and to use the techniques outlined in the book in your own unique situation and relationship.
Though this book does tend to feel as though it is dating itself on occasion. The authors frequently refers to their findings and writing in the early 1990's. However, the lessons here are in no way obsolete. The findings of We Can Work It Out remain just as accurate, relevant, and current as they were when they were first printed.
This book provides you with a useable, optimistic, and realistic management approach for dealing with the issues troubling your relationship. It provides a levelheaded, sensible way to find your way back to the happiness you were once able to enjoy when your relationship was better fulfilling your needs.
