Synopsis:

At the heart of this work is the authors' premise that to have a successful marriage couples need to develop the ability to accept the unchangeable and change what can be changed. Included is clinical detail on how to develop a formulation encompassing the couple's conflict areas, enhance intimacy through acceptance, build tolerance for difference, and improve communication and problem-solving.
