How to Be a Couple and Still Be Free, Third Edition
This thoroughly revised and expanded edition is written as a manual and shows couples how to replace cooperation with compromise or competition. It includes many step-by-step instructions and guidelines, and introduces the "negotiation tree", a tool that can help any couple turn a struggle or fight into a cooperative problem-solving session. The book is designed especially for people who seek a model for equal partnership, and couples who want to transform struggle into teamwork. It works for couples who are married, cohabiting, or dating-in a traditional or alternative relationship.
Marriage at Midlife" provides counselors, mental health professionals, and marriage educators with the tools they need to understand and assist couples who are experiencing the challenges and opportunities of the post-childrearing years. This unique book is enriched with quotes from hundreds of interviews with couples married 20-50 years. Written by a pair of veteran researchers and communication educators, "Marriage at Midlife" identifies the communication processes that hinder and help couples during an important period of life transition.
The Seven Principles for Making Marriage WorkAccording to most relationship books, the key to a solid marriage is communication, communication, communication.

There's much more to a solid, "emotionally intelligent" marriage than sharing every feeling and thought, he points out--though most couples therapists ineffectively (and expensively) harp on these concepts.
