The Marriage First Aid Kit – Giveaway

The Marriage First Aid Kit by Bryce Kaye, Ph.D.

In contrast with many books written 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. Marriage problems are often the result of conflicting egos or roles, shamed needs or desires, and other dynamics that often have much to do with the personalities of the two partners.

The Marriage First Aid Kit contains descriptions and explanations for the most common syndromes causing marriage problems. For each problem syndrome, solutions are suggested. Coupled with the suggested solutions are reasons given for why they work and improve an intimate relationship. The real key to understanding marriage problems is to understand the emotions that underlie them. (from the publisher)

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.
