"A therapist friend of mine recommended this book to me and I found it absolutely fascinating. Weiner-Davis delves into a counseling technique called Solution Based Therapy. Rather than the typical pschoanalytic techniques of delving into one's past to find a solution to one's current problems, the therapist instead works with the clients to come up with solutions to the problems that are happening now. Makes much more sense to me and takes a fraction of the time of traditional therapy.
Weiner-Davis shares case histories from a variety of clients who are going through the trauma of a marriage in peril. Rather than suggest that the couple's difficulties are insurmountable (which, at first glance, may seem to be the case), she finds different techniques for partners to try, either together or apart (if there is only one partner interested in therapy). Even one person changing something changes the dynamic of the relationship.
There is so much useful information in this book. I love reading case histories and I like how the techniques seem simple but are still incredibly effective. I'm not saying that the work is easy by any means. It involves reflection and change on one's own part, but if it saves a marriage, then any and all work is completely worth the effort. I like that Weiner-Davis is concerned with saving as many marriages as she can. The devastation of each divorce is far-reaching. It affects not only the two people in the broken relationship, but children, siblings, parents, friends and so many more."
"Every person married needs to read this book! It busts the myth that divorce will solve your problems and gives you fast ways to turn things around. I love that the approach works even if your spouse isn't into reading self-help books or even willing to try new things to jump start the relationship. You alone have the power to bring about change in relationships, no matter what the other person does. Think about that for a second-- it's powerful."
"This is an awesome book even if there is no mention of divorce in your marriage. It helps you think of how to solve problems instead of continually fighting over the same stuff. I learned a lot about how men think and how you can better your relationship. I'm always looking for ways to make my man and marriage happier, even though it's pretty darn good as it is. If you can prevent some arguments, why not do it?"
"This was the main manual we used at BYU for couples looking for marriage enhancement. It teaches the unique perspective that one person can save a marriage."
