Communication in Marriage: How to Communicate with Your Spouse Without Fighting Paperback – July 31, 2017

God

I was 46 when my wife and I were married. I spent more than two decades essentially single, raising my daughter alone. I completely forgot how to communicate with a partner. Thank you for the pointers.

This book gave great tips to use when struggling with communication. I loved a lot of the ideas, however, was too quick of a read. Wish it would have elaborated more on different subjects. Overall, it was a nice easy read.

Actually a great book on marriage communication. Highly recommend this book for married couples

The book seems helpful so far but I’m only on page 35 and have found multiple spots where there are no spaces between words and some have double spaces.

I can't stress enough how great this book is. It is not bloated with too many words, and is very easy to read. I've read it just once but plan to read it over and over 4 or 5 times. It is pretty straight to the point, except I really like that Marcus and Ashley shared their own struggles in the book, and how they rationalized and came to positive results. I can't thank them enough for writing this book and putting their own lives out there, their own struggles, and how they prevailed through the hard times. The book encourages logic thinking, and with practice I believe these can change current patterns of destruction into positive new patterns. After reading this just once, I can say "Yes that's me" and "ohhh that's bad". I can see why I sometimes get negative reactions when saying something one way, when my heart and mind are actually trying to say something else! I've heard of the same things in the book elsewhere, I just really like that it is very well organized, very easy to follow and understand, has exercises to do with you partner, and get's right to the point. I think to get the full benefit it should be read several times. (It's really not that long and is straight to the point). I'm very happy I purchased this book for myself and partner. I understand so much more now, and I feel like this book should be given out in High School to promote positive communication in relationships. I do believe that feeling hurt, upset, angry, or unheard from someone you KNOW that loves you are all signs of communication issues. You CAN always do better! There is no such thing as a mistake, just a learning experience!

This book is amazing. It is simple and to the point and offers key steps and questions to help you and your spouse get on the communication page together. I have a degree in psychology, so I know how in depth communication skills can go, but they made it easy for anyone to understand and implement. My husband has A.D.D. yet he was able to stay focused and listen to the audible book. Together we listened to the chapters each night, answered the questions, talked about our answers, then implemented the steps. It was a bit challenging at first, perhaps even awkward, but we soon were able to really hear each other and communicate with an open mind. We have been married for 16 years and have 5 children, but this book would be great for any couple, at any stage in their marriage. Just don't give up, maintain consistency and you will reach your goals.

Me and my husband was having marital problems and couldn't afford a counselor so I bought us this book. We read it each at our own time and then together this book shows the light that not most people realizes I recommend this book
