Publisher Description
Love takes work, but, when it comes to relationships, it pays to work smarter. Couple Skills, Second Edition, revised and updated from the therapist-recommended classic, will show you how to work smarter in your relationship. You'll learn to improve communication, cope better with problems, and resolve conflicts with the one you love in healthy and creative ways. Each chapter teaches you an essential skill that supports greater relationship satisfaction and deeper intimacy.
New to this edition is a chapter on using acceptance skills, developed from the revolutionary new acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). These new approaches will help you to accept your partner's feelings (and your own emotions) without judgment. Using these techniques will help you decide what you really value in your relationship and then commit to acting in ways that further those values every day.
Customer Reviews
Practical and Relateable
Really loved all of the information in this book and the examples provided were very practical and relatable.
A lot of the thoughts and techniques are things I keep in rotation whenever my partner and I get into an argument. It’s helped me keep things in perspective a bit more and not jump into old habits.
Nicely written and helpful!
While I don’t 100% subscribe to the philosophy proposed in the solutions, I feel the techniques insightful.
