There is a lot of solid, useful information here, but the style in which it's presented may or may not work for all readers. Broadly broken up into relationship issues (trust, intimacy, finances, etc.) each potential pitfall is examined through the lens of 3 couples experiencing minor, moderate, or severe problems in that area. While the anecdotes are relatable, the lack of variety in both visual format and content makes this into a bit of a slog. It's a LOT of text without much in the way of breaks or summary. This is well-researched and cited, but probably used best in very small doses to help stay engaged with the message.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review.

An accessible and compassionate guide to strengthening relationships through cultivating healthy communication and healthy emotional and thought patterns. I appreciated its direct yet nurturing style and its multidimensional approach, introducing readers to a wide array of empowering relationship techniques. You don't need to be in a couple in crisis to benefit from this book- even the most stable and confident partnership will find something in its pages that will deepen intimacy and connection.
