The Five Core Conversations for Couples

Relationships/Self Help

Date Published: February 14, 2020

Publisher: Skyhorse Publishing; ebook distributed by Simon & Schuster

Married for 33 years, David, a divorce lawyer, and Julie, a family therapist, have both been witness to families struggling with life’s most difficult challenges. At the same time, they have weathered their own challenges at home: raising four daughters, two biological and two adopted, and dealing with one child’s mental health and behavioral issues. What they’ve learned about saving a marriage or knowing when to call it quits, when to turn to professionals or when to try tough love, could fill a book—and it does.

EXCERPT

“In compiling this book, we did not spend hours researching, studying, or constructing and analyzing a ‘love lab’ as John Gottman did in his The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. Our lab is our work. Our lab is our experience; it is late night phone calls, emails, texts and working with clients in our offices or coffee shops. Our lab is our home, the challenges we have faced as a couple, as lovers, as friends and as parents. Through our conversations that have stretched over years, our lab brings out the good, exposes the bad and lays bare the ugly.”
