We Can Work It Out: How to Solve Conflicts, Save Your Marriage
Popularity: 1% [?]
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.

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.

This book is easy to read, easy to understand, and offers a lot of hope. It gives you real tools to use. I wish it had focused just a tiny bit more on how you can only take care of yourself and your own point of view and emotions – or perhaps it would have been nice if they recommended a companion book on that subject – since it is such a large factor in relating. But overall I’d say it’s a great buy for anyone looking to find ways to start improving their communication with anyone, right away.

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”.

Finally! Simple solutions to every-day communication problems. This book helped my husband and me become even happier with our marrage. We have been married 10 years, and we learned things from this book that we will help make the next 10 years even better! Thank you, Doctors, for a wonderful, helpful book.
