A new approach to improving couples' relationships is presented in this book. There are many vignettes which illustrate how couples can learn to deal with relationship problems using non-accusative means of communication. The author addresses problems that affect some married couples, such as lack of affection, criticism, dependency, fear of commitment or selfishness, which can lead to arguments, discouragement or a stalemate. New thoughts are provided on the dangers of too much compromise, and how to manage inevitable conflict.
