About this listen

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 teach 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.

This book is the missing instruction manual for relationships and a happy life. For me this book filled in all the gaps that endless podcasts and other books left.

This book is probably the most useful tool that I have found about how to be happy in a relationship.

If you are looking for relationship resources this book is a MUST read!

The reader sounds like Siri and Alexa’s sister but don’t let that put you off :-)
