How This Book Will Help You As A Couple
Learning to interrupt a disagreement before it escalates into a “you always and you never” tirade will save many a sleepless night. By postponing the discussion until you both can think without operating from a hijacked brain, you regain the freedom to look for win-win solutions.
Get tips for sharing “what it’s like to be you” in a way that doesn’t create defensiveness. Become aware of the fine art of practicing validating the other’s position without saying, “Yes, but.”
In addition, you can come to appreciate the joy of “goodwill” hunting. So this way, your words of appreciation will build an atmosphere of appreciation rather than slipping off into criticism.
Most importantly, time spent doing your homework before you say your vows can save you many hours of marriage counseling later on.
On the other hand, if you run into rough spots, you will identify what might become a bit problematic in your relationship. Then you will know what to take to a specialized premarital counselor.
So picture yourself saying, “I do,” with the confidence that you have done your homework or done your due diligence. I look forward to savoring your relationship as long as you both shall live.
So take the big step: you can order this book to have it mailed to you by Amazon. They will send it out right away.
