Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In this groundbreaking book, Michele Weiner-Davis gives straightforward, effective advice on preventing divorce and how couples can stay together instead of coming apart.

* How to leave the past behind and set attainable goals
* Strategies for identifying problem-solving behavior that works--and how to make changes last
* "Uncommon-sense" methods for breaking unproductive patterns
Inspirational and accessible, Divorce Busting shows readers in pain that working it out is better than getting out.
