About this title

From Library Journal:

This title is a worthwhile addition to the shelves crowded with self-help marriage books. The author, host of a talk radio show, varies the standard formula: simple explanations of emotions, case studies, and self-help exercises. His exercises, more complicated than the standard multiple choice forms, involve both partners (most only expect the reader to do the work) and often call for maintaining diaries over time to get an in-depth understanding of behaviors. The reader then learns how to use the positive behaviors to enhance the marriage. The work is based on a useful typology of behavior patterns that is sufficiently broad to help the reader identify his/her category and then apply the other materials most usefully. John M.

From Publishers Weekly:

Psychiatrist Viscott, author of How to Live with Another Person and ABC radio personality, here offers advice to men and women of all ages who want permanent relationships. As a means of defining one's character, tests are offered for partners to take singly and together, thus revealing practices that advance or hinder love. There are also case histories dramatizing problems created by a mate's superior achievements; adultery; financial disagreements; unsatisfactory sex; lack of honesty or frank communication, etc. Although practical and sincere, Viscott's suggestions repeat basic principles covered in numerous self-help volumes. First serial to Good Housekeeping and Health Magazine; paperback rights to Pocket Books; Troll Book Club alternate.
