Review
We all have to deal with this issue of problems in a marriage. The problem is, how do we react?
The authors give us information on the difficulties they confronted and evaluated during years of counseling in their mission, and the result is this fantastic book.
Well written and easy to read, this is a fun book with simple words about all common issues that happen in a marriage with kids.
Along 20 chapters, they recommend very well described functions, habits, and postures that will support us changing our kid-centered family into a couple-centered home.
They stress a lot how important for the kids, this move is.
The writers go over the value of mutually laughing, working together as a team, taking care of vulnerabilities and appreciating great intimacy.
Clearly, this book is a work for mature people, and I would suggest it to any couple that already has kids or intends to have them.
This is a great asset to for your home library.
The publishers sent me a copy for an uncompromised analysis through their blogger book review program.
Comments with your opinion will be appreciated.

Sounds like a great book, and a topic all too relevant for most couples with children in our hectic world. I think we all have been here before, If only we knew beforehand exactly how to tackle this issue it may save some marriages. I am definitely taking a look at this one, thanks!
