Words That Keep Us Together: Practical Strategies for Building, Repairing, and Maintaining a Healthy Relationship (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798886454901)

It's all in the dialogue.

For most couples, a majority of issues can be resolved through healthy conversation. While couples often have the best intentions of engaging in this kind of communication, many tend to find themselves stuck in the same argumentative patterns. A single phrase, sideways look, or off-putting tone can quickly derail a productive discussion and escalate it into discord, leaving the couple more dazed, dejected, and disconnected than before. What these couples need, and often wish for, is a manual on how to succeed in talking to their partner--a guide that will help them communicate when they can't find the words.

In his new book, Words That Keep Us Together, Dr. Richard Rein has drawn on research and his four decades of couples counseling experience to deliver just that. From his invaluable knowledge and relatable examples, couples will learn why these fights occur, how to prevent their usual language patterns, and what to say instead.

This practical road map to a thriving partnership is essential to anyone looking to better themselves and their relationships. For those who say too much, say too little, or don't know what to say at all, learn the words on these pages and experience a quality of love you never thought possible.
