Publisher's summary

A new and updated edition of the all-time bestselling book on marriage enhancement and divorce prevention. Since it was first published in 1994, Fighting for Your Marriage has been the bestselling book in its field. As in the original edition, the book offers invaluable advice on achieving better communication and problem-solving skills, using structured techniques to resolve conflicts, sharing a core belief system, understanding commitment and forgiveness, restoring intimacy, increasing fun, and improving your sex life. The authors show that conflict in intimate relationships is as normal and essential as love, but it's how you fight and resolve conflicts that determines the difference between a sustained healthy marriage or a painful divorce.

To General

I think the thing I got most from this book, is that issues we are having are common and we are not experiencing something others havent dealt with. There was some basic good information that pointed out some of the stuff we have been doing poorly, but didnt give much real advice for moving forward. It did offer some advice for people that really cant talk or communicate on issues...

Very good and interesting

This scientific approach to relationship evaluation makes sense and is easy to transform in to practical advice. I recommend this book highly.

High level Overview of Hard Copy

The audio version of this book is missing the exercises contained in the hard copy. I had hoped this was something my husband and I could listen to together but abandoned when I realized the most meaningful content was missing.

I've listened to it twice

This book gives some practical tips on marraige. If you follow the advice, I believe it will lead to an improved marriage or relationship. I didn't like the narrator's tone/voice, but the information is useful.

Fighting for “my” marriage!

Well....I listened and learned a little bit. The basis of this book was biased with a tilt toward preconceived notions that men and women were set in traditional roles...she nags he doesn’t share....but dated but I found a few useful tips.

Saving your marriage

Very well read. The book was suggested by a friend that used to teach the class to soldiers. The suggestions were very helpful. I bought the paper back book as well.
