Dr. David Hawkins uncovers the hidden reasons why couples may be hurting emotionally. He offers practical steps couples can take to heal their hurt and lays out a plan for preventing needless pain in the future. This concise and easily accessible manual also identifies several communication strategies that couples often use but that actually never work, and it offers more helpful alternatives: - Focus on ways you can agree, not ways you disagree. - Attack the problem, not the person. - If you're winning arguments, you're losing the battle. Readers will find plenty of helpful alternatives to their destructive communication patterns and a full supply of easy-to-use steps to increase their emotional intimacy and restore the joy in their relationships.
Ever notice how differently men and women see relationships and how they handle stress? Those differences can affect the way we solve problems that arise. Dr. Hawkins uses stories about people he's worked with to help identify potential trouble spots. He offers realistic solutions to keep our personal relationships working smoothly. Sometimes we're too close to the problem to see clearly what needs to be done. Also, it's a lot easier to see what someone else is doing wrong than it is to admit our own failings. Dr. Hawkins has more than thirty years counseling experience and has worked with thousand of couples. In this book he sets out effective ways to avoid problems that can damage our relationships with the people we love.
