Introduction
Sometimes, a good therapist can make a big difference in a couple’s ability to learn to develop a sound and functional long-term relationship.
Ultimately success depends on the couple themselves doing the work at home every day, during every interaction, to apply these concepts and skills that will make their relationship healthier.
Just knowing how communication skills work isn't enough. It is through application and conditioning yourself to use new habits that changes behavior and leads to improved communication.
Most people already know how they should act toward each other, or grasp the concepts that would be helpful quickly.
The hard part is using or implementing new skills especially when there is stress or tension. This material does not replace a good therapist but it does organize the concepts and skills that provide a guide for what, and how to
integrate changes that can vastly improve a relationship.
