From the Back Cover:

Are you winning at work, but failing at home? You can still save your marriage before it's too late! Divorce is everywhere; especially among high-achieving and success-driven people, who sometimes leave a trail of broken relationships in their wake.

In Change Your Wife Not Your Life, psychologist Dr. Tony Ferretti and physician Dr. Peter Weiss demystify why the same character traits that drive career success can also destroy families. Using true-to-life examples, they examine the perils of being achievement or power-oriented in intimate relationships, and how those relationships can get better. They demonstrate that when couples start to work through their issues, dramatic improvement and healing are possible.

Change Your Life, Not Your Wife will:
� Reveal why emotional immaturity and self-absorption are common among the powerful.
� Share ways beneficial traits in the workplace – competitiveness, drive, perfectionism, control, and a critical eye – cause destruction at home.
� Explore how your current behavior in relationships has been shaped by your childhood experiences.
� Provide simple exercises to help you evaluate your marriage.
� Offer actionable advice on turning around marriages on the brink of self-destruction.
� Discuss why you must first change your own behavior if you want to impact your spouse's behavior.

Reading Change Your Life, Not Your Wife can produce breakthrough transformations in your marriage. This provocative book will challenge and encourage you to start on the road to improving your relationships.
