Book Overview
Updated in 2020 invaluable resource for couples in which one or both partners have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), this authoritative book guides troubled partners towards an understanding and appreciation for the struggles and triumphs of a relationship affected by it, and to integrate ADHD into their relationship in a more positive and less disruptive way. Going beyond traditional marriage counseling which can often discount the influence of ADHD, this discussion offers advice from the author's personal experience and years of research and identifies patterns of behavior that can hurt marriages--such as nagging, intimacy problems, sudden anger, and memory issues--through the use of descriptions of actual couples and their ADHD struggles and solutions. The first third of the book is dedicated to helping couples identify how ADHD impacts their relationship. The last two-thirds provides a specific set of steps couples can move through to overcome their hurt and anger, once again develop loving ways to interact with each other, and find the joy they've lost in their struggles. This book encourages both spouses to become active partners in improving their relationship.

I like this book because its practical for both person with adhd and their spouse. It can work if both couples have adhd or only one. Although it reads in terms of the "man" having adhd..it also applies if it is a women with adhd. The author is a women married to a man with ADHD.
Ever felt frustrated, exhausted, wondering why everything your doing is not working with your spouse?
If you feel like a mother to your husband or fight about chores this will help alot.
If you feel you cant trust your spouse and took on majority of the responsibilities (burnout)...this will help you get right resources.
Driven to Distractions and Executive Function difficulties in Adults are my other 2 recommendations for books for adults. Most books talk more about signs and symptoms but this one actually gives solutions.
