Love More, Fight Less: Communication Skills Every Couple Needs: A Relationship Workbook for Couples

Love this book. I chose one of the (Used, like new) ones & it did come with a big stain all over the front which was disappointing considering what they labeled it as (like new) but the inside pages were like new so I’m happy. Also half of the stain on the outside wiped off with a Lysol wipe so they easily could have cleaned the book up some but that’s not Amazon’s fault but the person who was reselling it through this page. Anyway it has very useful information in this book. I’m so happy I was able to get it for an affordable price. It’s a great book. I love workbooks because I learn better hands on instead of just reading and trying to retain the info. Most people have some unhealed trauma or unhealthy habits that we picked up throughout life so self help workbooks are great. We all could use some work on ourselves. This gives practical and easy to understand help. It makes you think and helps you work towards healing yourself and communicating with others better. Communication is key. 🔑 When we work to heal ourselves and we end up healthier and better we will attract healthier friends and partners. I realized that the reason I attract Ted toxic manipulative men is because they could see my vulnerabilities & seen me as an easy target to use and manipulate. So healing is important because once we love ourselves and learn how to have boundaries and communicate skills we will no longer let people treat us like that and we will give off a different aura and vibe and people will no longer see us as a target or someone that can easily be used and manipulated. That’s why I think healing is so important. Highly recommend this and other self help work books.

Helps with relationships

I like the different exercises in the book and the knowledge wedged in between. We all use communication in our day today with coworkers, friends, family, partners, supervisors, and the tools in this book definitely help to strengthen the communication all around. It’s definitely a tool and workbook that anyone can get useful information out of.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/5 Stars I had an amazing experience with this seller! The item arrived exactly as described, well-packaged, and even earlier than expected. Super reliable and trustworthy. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for a smooth and hassle-free transaction. The quality was excellent, and the price was fair for its condition. It looks amazing! Will definitely buy again in the future!

My therapist recommended this book to me and as usual she doesn't disappoint. I've been lucky enough to inherit some pretty awful communication and relationship patterns from my parents. I have BPD, I'm autistic, and struggle with other comorbid conditions. Communication is NOT easy for me. Months after reading this book cover to cover I still revert back to it for helpful reminders of things I am working on. What I love about it: The sections of the book are broken down into easily digestible categories for the most common hot topics in relationships. Each category has examples of situations that issue comes up in, examples of bad behaviors that draw out the problems and examples of what to do differently. Each category has work book style prompts that encourage the reader, or the couple, to look deeply inward and break these patterns Changes are difficult but not impossible and some of us weren't modeled the right way to be, so we need clear cut examples. I'd recommend this book to anybody who is interested in changing their relationships for the better.

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I was looking forward to receiving this book and beginning the exercises with my significant other. But as we began our journey thru it we began to notice that the chapters were very short and lacking. Lacking further explanation further details further understanding on our part. Many of the exercises were done without really feeling like we were grasping the point of it. We ended the book not really feeling like we had gained much further knowledge or understanding that we had initially hoped to gain from it. Honestly disappointed as I had had high hopes for this one … esp after looking at the sample pages that the seller provided … oh well…. And another one bites the dust…

What I liked is that it doesn't require your partner/spouse to participate you can do the exercises on your own and still get a benefit from the book. There are a lot of exercises in this book so be prepared to work a bit, if you are up to it! I can't say how effective it is, as it is likely too soon for it to have impacted my relationship, but I will certainly keep you updated! WML

High school sweethearts trying to make it past the 10 year mark. Both my husband and I are working the book independently. There are very deep topics but everything is laid out so user friendly, almost mapped out, for you. It makes the promts easy to follow and understand. The readings flow really well. We like how it simplifies therapy in an at home approach. With this book you get to do the work! Even on days I feel like I can’t emotionally handle an exercise, there are still so many helpful readings to get me thinking. (The paper is also very soft and nice to write on!)

This book is great. A lot of scenarios and helpful questions, both to use alone and as a couple. If you’re ready to be honest about your own problems then this book will go a long way. I’ve already recommended it to others and they’ve purchased it with great reviews.

The book is probably fine but I bought it wayyy too late. She got removed by the police before we made it past page 5.

This book is such a helpful guide for couples looking to improve their communication. It’s filled with practical exercises that make you think about how you handle conflicts and express yourself. Some sections felt a little repetitive, but overall, it’s a great tool for strengthening a relationship!

Most of the exercises lack precise explanation. It left us with questions every time we tried to do them and we felt discouraged. I read a comment just now where a social worker said that it was probably not good for someone without a clinical/therapeutic background and I would’ve love to read this comment before buying the book because I really feel like it’s true. This book would be a great addition when doing the work with a psychologist or couple therapist.

My fiance and I tried to get into this book but some of the questions we couldn't connect with and we stopped trying to get this book to work for us.
