THE RELATIONSHIP CURE A 5 Step Guide for Building Better Connections with Family, Friends, and Lovers

Couples, families, and work groups function better when their members know how to ask for connections with each other, according to the noted marriage therapist and researcher. He's done a ton of research on how such "bids" for connections are made and says our attitudes, and the words we use in each situation, can make a big difference. It's a prescriptive program that's well organized and covers a large number of aspects of married relationships. But it's also very accessible because Gottman expresses his ideas with youthful warmth and shares many insights into his own marriage journey. A comprehensive communication guide and wonderful listening experience. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/ JAN 02]
