Overview

Change the relationship you have into the one you want.

Welcome to the Relationship Revolution! Making Marriage Simple is the accessible, essential road map to building a strong marriage in the modern world. Bestselling authors Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt distill into ten essential truths what they've learned about how to create a successful and satisfying relationship-both from their decades of "R&D" in the marriage lab of their workshops, and from their own relationship journey.  In each chapter, Harville and Helen introduce a simple truth-such as "a frustration is a wish in disguise,"  "incompatibility is grounds for marriage," or "conflict is growth trying to happen"-and then walk couples through easy yet effective exercises to help them apply each truth in real life, every day.

Harville and Helen have spent their careers helping couples transform their marriages through research, workshops, and counseling. But marriage-even for marriage experts-is never easy, and a number of years ago they found themselves on the brink of divorce. Harville and Helen put themselves back through the exercises they'd coached so many other couples through, saving their marriage and helping them achieve a true partnership.

This audiobook is for all couples.  It offers the practical tools needed to transform one's relationship into a rewarding and joyous marriage.  Written with humor, compassion, and honesty, Making Marriage Simple is a strategic blueprint for creating a stronger, more satisfying partnership in today's world.

Editorial Reviews

APRIL 2013 - AudioFile

Two marriage experts alternate reading this fresh-sounding update of Hendrix’s classic advice that people tend to form romantic partnerships that replay the dynamics they had as children with their parents. As narrators, both authors speak with natural clarity and sound happily engaged with their audience and their ideas. As writers, they use memorable examples, as well as their own marriage struggles, to show how anyone can learn to be more constructive when confronting a challenging partner. Exercises and communication scripts are central to this advice, and some of their directives will sound contrived to couples who believe they’ve tried everything. But these authors persuade one that such devices are necessary to reduce destructive communication and create a safe place for love and respect to grow. T.W. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
