The Marriage First Aid Kit by Bryce Kaye, Ph.D.In contrast with many books written about marriage problems, The Marriage First Aid Kit
The Marriage First Aid Kit
My Review:
No marriage is immune to problems and having been married for 24 years, I've experienced plenty of ups and downs myself. This book takes a very different approach to marriage problems, and I'm finding it to be extremely valuable.
I like the way the book contains exercises, scenarios, and tools to put everything into use, and it's written in a vernacular style, which makes it a pleasure to read.
I haven't finished it yet because there's a lot to digest here, and I'm taking my time because it's proving to be incredibly helpful.

What a refreshing change in marital advice and resources. A truly holistic approach covering issues of addiction, mental health, gender roles, family blending, ground rules, and real life scenarios. A true must have.

This book reminded me of a quote from "wild words from wild women"
"Marriage is not just spiritual communion and passionate embraces; marriage is also three meals a day and remembering to carry out the trash." ~ Joyce Brothers
Looks like a good book, please enter me into this drawing.
I found the wide range of issues the kit is supposed to help with interesting.

I learned the syndromes that affect marriages and that if any of these toxic syndromes are occurring, the odds of making improvements to your relationship are slim if you try to work at it unassisted between yourselves.

Sadly, I have touches of the "less toxic" kinds of problems in my marriage. In fact my spouse and I had an hour and a half long conversation last night that I initiated to attempt to resolve a long standing issue.
I could seriously use more help in this department...
HOping to win. We need it.

I find it interesting that this book doesn't treat marriage problems as being the result of poor communication like almost all other books do.

It looks like it covers a lot of really important issues.

I like how it covers more than communication, too. I think we communicate pretty well.

I think that the Delinquent Helper Syndrome sounds pretty interesting to read about!
The website has several articles written by the author about relationships and marriage.

Glad they cover more than just communication problems :)
I thought it was interesting that in contrast with many publications about marriage problems, the Marriage First Aid Kit was not designed with the naive assumption that most relationship problems are merely the result of poor communication.
