Reconnect with Your Partner: A Couples Communication Workbook to Build Intimacy, Resolve Conflicts and Make Your Relationship Stronger (The Easy Guide ... Skills and Repair Your Marriage)

On the whole, this book gives sound advice from a background of couples therapy. It reviews many of the techniques and observations given by experts in this field. However, there is a good deal of going over the same points again and again, which may be intended to drive home good lessons. But for me, it was a bit tedious. I would have liked to read case studies of couples who had improved their relationship and how that was accomplished.

Communication is so crucial in keeping a relationship alive and healthy. This guide delves into all aspects of communication, verbal and nonverbal. It also discusses ways of improving listening skills and examining one's own feelings to express needs and wants more straightforwardly. The author also shares a series of couple role-play exercises to practice what she is explaining. A lot of this seems simple stuff, but sometimes we all need a refresher course and a reminder on how to be more in tune with a partner.

Informative book that can make the difference for a couple and their relationship succeeding. Recommend highly - quick easy read.

My wife purchased this book for us.This book is... well, it's just terrible. Firstly, it's full of typos. Secondly, it's self-published and evidently self-edited, by a woman without a formal education in psychology or couples counseling. Anyone who earns a masters or a PhD would not neglect to add it to his/her bio or on the cover of his/her book.Ms. Gardener never says what discipline her education is in or if she even finished, much less what university she went to which tells me she has no formal education or license to practice psychology or she is inexperienced and disorganized. Her only qualifications seem to be that she is "known for her empathy and appealing personality. "The writing style has absolutely no flow and reads in some places what feels like a 3rd grade level then skips to graduate level writing giving an overall tone of "cut & paste." It drones on in a tedium of detail, but curiously adept at ignoring the rules of English grammar. The author states no sources except in the areas where she appears to have sampled heavily from the work of others. There's also advertising for her other book both at the beginning and end of the book. So, that's nice.

Communication can make or break any relationship. Relationships are not always rainbows and sunshine all the time. It takes hard work to maintain a healthy relationship. This book will provide you with essential tips and skills you can use together so that you connect more efficiently. I really nice book for a gift

There's plenty of actionable ideas in this book and everything was well thought out and designed for different styles of relationships. If you were in trouble or felt like you could have some subtle tension going on with your partner, this book could potentially help you find out where to look. If you already had issues, this book might save you a trip to couple's therapy or a counselor. As always, seek professional help when needed, but this book has a lot of good and common problems I often see in relationships.

This book is full of relevant, real world examples to help couples reconnect. Communication plays such a vital role in relationships and this guide gives realistic tips to improve daily communication. I recommend it for couples looking to rekindle open talk in their relationships.

There were a lot of great points.. a little heavy on the religious stuff for my taste, but still a good read.

The book is very detailed and tries to cover every aspect of the conflicts and do's and dont's in every situation. I highly recommend this book.
