Powerful information for any couple
Format: Kindle
My husband and I are in a good place now, but spent close to 18 years in toxic patterns. We separated 7 years ago for a brief period and have been reconciled and building on a more solid foundation. I wish we would have had this book then! This book has great tools, no matter what season of marriage you are in.

Worth the Read
Format: Kindle
This book covers examples and advice for several different specific scenarios and struggles in marriages. Not every chapter is directly applicable to your situation, but I believe all of the advice was useful, even if indirectly. I feel encouraged, better prepared, and less fearful after reading this.

Excellent book !
Format: Paperback
I bought this book for one part in it that I'm dealing with in my life, well when I got it and started reading it, I could believe how on target of the same problems I am dealing with, then I started reading other chapter and realized that there was other stuff I was going through as well in other chapters and I thought to myself I'm just going to read the whole thing. this is worth the money. best book ever !
