Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this ground-breaking book, Michele Weiner-Davis gives straightforward, effective advice on how couples can stay together instead of come apart.

Using case histories to illustrate her marriage-enriching, divorce-preventing techniques, which can be used even if only one partner participates, Weiner-Davis shows readers:

x How to leave the past behind and set attainable goals
x Strategies for identifying problem-solving behavior that works — and how to make changes last

Inspirational and accessible, Divorce Busting shows readers in pain that working it out is better than getting out.
