"Finally, a tested and therapeutic technique to help couples help themselves. It is straightforward, fair to both men and women, and each chapter is practical and wise. This is a book that couples can use together. It is easy to follow and not overwhelming. Most of all, this book will help couples in crisis to see each other's humanity and to find a way to understanding and acceptance and yes, change."--Pepper Schwartz, PhD, author of Love Between Equals how much do product designers make Reconcilable Differences

LoftinThis is one of a small number of books I recommend to married couples in my clinical psychology practice. This is not usually the first book that I ask them to read, but typically the second. For quicker, more practical communication technqiues, read Fighting for Your Marriage by Markman, Stanley, and Blumberg.This book is a very good way for couples to learn which differences they should attempt to change and which differences they should learn to accept. It suggests ways to learn to accept differences between spouses. It is helpful to change the couple's approach to differences between them. Although most readers would not realize this, Reconcilable Differences was written by two very famous names in the field of marital research.Most couples will like this book, and if they read it slowly and try to use each of the suggested techniques every week, they should benefit from it. It does require the active use of many of the suggestions to help a couple, so be ready to do a little work. As they say, you will get out of this book what you put into it. Highly recommended.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
