The primary problem is the speaker’s voice is terribly annoying–but that is a personal opinion. The robot/woman distracted from my ability to focus on what was being said. Second, it doesn’t present things in a realistic way to what happens in relationships. How about telling it like it is–don’t use “heated disagreement” when you mean screaming, cussing argument. They use nice terms for everything, and it waters down the listener’s ability to identify what they are talking about compared to what discordant marriages actually look like. Third, everything about this material appears geared towards women and how women think. The focus is heavily on talking, discussing feelings, very warm, fuzzy, sweet little things to do. Blah! Gag. Fourth, even married couples have good old-fashioned need-based sex. Please don’t continually say “making love”. That is hokey and trite and laughable. I guess they have to say “making love” to protect those sensitive people out htere who are afraid that if they say SEX, then Gosh might Darn them to Heck. That, or an attmept to feel better about the fact that your man wants you to dress up like Little Bo Peep and sing Ba, Ba, Blacksheep while performing fellatio on him.
Other than that, there is some useful information and it certianly wouldn’t do anyone any harm.

Its been a few years since I read this book, but I still recommend it to all that are having a troubled marriage (or even just entering one). Being a psychologist, I may have a bit better insight into relationships than most, but alas, my own marriage did come to an untimely ending. Nevertheless, I’d encourage all couples (both members) to give this book a read…who knows, it just might save your marriage (no guarantees though). One more thought, the information contained in this book is empirically driven, it’s not based on one’s opinion or hearsay. Good luck to you in your relationship.

Quite seriously, this book is amazing. Attend a workshop if you can or take a class that examples the ideas.
This has become our marriage bible.
Thanks!
