      When you consider all the issues that affect relationships (trust, money problems, household responsibilities, parenting, sexual and emotional intimacy, change, boredom, family), it's a wonder that anyone stays married. We all have relationship problems, say psychologist Griffin and sociologist Schwartz. What makes the difference is the willingness of the partners to work on communication skills, childhood baggage, and attachment styles to preserve their union. Identifying 11 basic relationship concerns (one per chapter), the authors begin with ground rules and then offer case studies from three couples: one needing minor tweaks (a relationship vitamin), one struggling (relationship medicine), and one nearly fatal (relationship CPR), to suggest possible solutions to their conflicts. Detailed exercises similar to those used in counseling sessions, including role playing, journaling, and structured discussions, are described, and the two doctors demonstrate how these strategies improve the couples' outcomes. The goal here is to head off problems before they reach the CPR stage, when counseling will be necessary. Readers experiencing these problems will be reassured and guided by Griffin's and Schwartz's practical suggestions.
