HE WINS, SHE WINS Learning the Art of Marital Negotiation

People often give up on their marriages because they don't know how to negotiate their differences, says an amiable counselor with an optimistic tone and smooth voice. Though his pacing is slow, author-narrator Harley's authentic phrasing captures every nuance in his deceptively simple message. He says that husbands and wives must work every day to nurture their love so that they have a foundation of security when differences arise. Using case studies and vignettes, he offers practical advice in five typical areas of marital conflict--friends and family, career and time management, finances, children, and sex. With his vocal sincerity leading the way, Harley provides believable reassurance that resolving conflicts is a learned skill--a habit that can strengthen love and help spouses face the challenges of marriage together.
