Critical information for any couple

This book should be mandated reading for any couple considering divorce. More marriages and families could be saved if couples are given truly good advice, and the current unnecessarily adversarial legal system which only serves to disconnect couples further is reigned in.

Not a usual book of theories but one with action steps

I found the clear action steps to be extremely applicable and effective in my case. I’m glad I read this book.

Tools to help my marriage and my job!

This book was excellent. It gave me some tools to navigate not only my relationship with my husband, but my boss and coworkers as well. Thank you Bill!

Worth every single penny

I always thought that responsibility was blame and this showed me the difference... I never knew how selfish , demanding and insensitive that I was to the situations in my life... I learned how to let go, how to genuinely give an apology that he accepted... amazing truth, amazing revelation, amazing how 2 hours of listening was able to break a glass that months of resistance & advice from friends never did... He is a God send ...

Great advice, I finished in one sitting!

I plan to listen again and again to fully absorb the lessons and implement them. Relationships can always be improved and issues are never just the other person's fault.
