Couple Survival WorkbookAt some point, nearly all marriages hit a rough spot or two. And as we all know, not all of them survive. But many marriages that end up in separation or divorce could have been saved and improved through better understanding, better communication, and realistic expectations about what one can expect from a marriage and friendship worth saving. With greater insight and relationship skills, not only can you change what may now seem to be a difficult or even impossible situation, but you can often find yourself growing as an individual and a couple, discovering a closeness you never had before. Are such improvements really possible? They are. No one promises they will come easily and not every marriage can or should be saved, but it 's important to learn which marriages can be improved and what you can do to make it work and thrive. This is how veteran marriage counselors David Olsen and Douglas Stephens can help. Based on their more than 55 years counseling patients, Olsen and Stephens have distilled their experience of helping frayed marriages into a workbook filled with exercises which can help build a better union. These exercises can be valuable on their own and/or work well while you are in couple 's therapy. When you consider the emotional and financial costs of getting a divorce or even the price of a single therapy session, it 's easy to see the great value The Couple Survival Workbook offers.
