The best £7 you will ever spend! - By: Little Miss Scatterbrain, 07 Aug 2008 
I am amazed at the results after reading this book!! What a find. I wasin a desperate situation, really wanted to stay with my husband but we kept reaching `rock bottom' every few months. Marriage counselling was the last thing that we wanted; we weren't comfortable with telling all of our personal issues to a complete stranger & covering the same ground that we had already discussed between us.
My husband hasn't read this book - & I won't be asking him to - however, just with me alone reading it, things improved drastically within just 3 weeks. We were discussing divorce earlier this year as we couldn't see past our problems & thought that splitting up was the only way ahead. Divorce is no longer on the cards & we are happier now than ever.
The book is based on 20 years of research, based on couples before & after marriage, happy & unhappy, & what things made their relationships successful or unsuccessful. I have found the research to be amazingly accurate & wanted to cringe when it dawned on me why we keep getting into negative spirals. The tips for overcoming problems have proven to be invaluable.
I would recommend this book to anyone, even people who are newly married & not having any problems at the moment; this book will make sure that your relationship stays this way. I wish I could buy this for all of my friends who are married or living together! If you buy this book - whether you are currently having relationship problems or want to make sure that you don't start experiencing problemsin the future - you won't be disappointed!
Best self-help book - By: Razzmatazz, 27 Feb 2008 This book honestly is a book that tries to help you to divorce proof your marriage. This book is based on research on what makes couples happy & unhappy. I find it very useful as my marriage was almost on the brink of divorce & my husband would have never gone for counselling. This book has turned my relationship aroundin less than 2 weeks after applying the principles as most of the time, communication is the main problem between spouses. For less than £9, it is honestly money well spent. This book is one that I will reccommend highly to friends & family.
This is a must read for anyone in a relationship. - By: , 27 Aug 1998 The usefulness of the advicein this book surpasses that of virtually any "self-help" book on the market. As a psychologistin practice for over 20 years, I have never before encountered such a valuable resource, both professionally & personally. The writing is succinct & full of several examples of each idea presented. If ever there was a relationship "handbook", this is it. Moreover, the information presented has a strong research base, & the efficacy of the recommended strategies has been proven. I can't recommend this book highly enough. You will not even find anything this goodin a therapist.
