Dr.Wenning helps spouses master skills in communication and conflict-resolution and corresponding behavioral strategies.
Trade ReviewThis is a straightforward, easy-to-understand book that will help any couple improve their marriage. Dr. Wenning identifies common beliefs that result in emotional overreactions and unproductive behavior. His ideas about what works and what is doomed to fail in resolving conflict will lead to learning new ways of communicating and getting the best responses. Wenning's suggestions will help strengthen and stabilize even the stormiest relationship and will be useful for motivated partners as well as for therapists who want to assist couples to stop destructive and defeating ways of relating. -- Judith Siegel, Ph.D., Ehrenkranz School of Social Work, New York University
Unlike many unrealistic and dogmatic books on achieving a good relationship, Dr. Wenning's guide is highly practical and flexible. It clearly explains the main Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy principles of dealing with many common mating problems and how readers can effectively apply them to their own lives. -- Albert Ellis PhD, Albert Ellis Institute for Rational Emotive Therapy, New York City
