simple and practical

the advice in this book is common sense but somehow I think most couples need to hear it said out loud. the examples and stories given from the author's practice reassured me that my situation is not unique and gave me hope let the difficulties in my marriage can be improved upon. even more important is her strong contention that there can be romance excitement and passion and a stable long-term relationship.

Good resource

The content of this valuable resource is very good, and most of the anecdotes were very relatable for me. The narrator spoke quite clearly and was easy to understand, but I found her attempts to change her voice to represent different characters in a dialogue quite distracting and more detrimental than helpful. Overall I really liked this book and was satisfied with the narration.

Some interesting material

Would you try another book from Ellen Wachtel and/or Joyce Bean?

OK author. A few writing problems ('nurturant' is not a word, for example). Never again for the narrator, though. Truly a nightmare to listen to.

How could the performance have been better?

Just read the book. The cutesy voices on the quotations are stupid, poorly done, annoying and extremely distracting.
