**Book received free in exchange for a review**This is a well written book that provokes thought about problems that arise in many marriages.  There are examples for each topic, and the authors work to assure that readers have clarity about each situation.  While I did find that this was a very good book and an excellent topic for consideration, I did find that some of the discussion was a bit shortsighted and without regard for the history of persons involved.  For instance, not every marital relationship is plagued with abuse or infidelity, and not every spouse in a marriage where financial difficulty is present will be able to use the identified strategies will be able to resolve what's causing the problem.  Turning towards a partner is generally beneficial, but what about a partner who is unwilling, unable, or otherwise incapacitated?  Some situations are not as easily resolved, and the ones that are easily resolved are generally not the ones that lend themselves to people reading books to aid in healing.Again, the reading itself was good.  There are some good options presented here for persons who are in situations that are not multilayered or extremely complicated.  I'd recommend this book for a discussion group as it is great way to get issues that are often avoided out in the open.
