Rebecca Ward has specialized in relationship therapy for twenty years. In How To Stay Married Without Going Crazy she shares much of what she has learned from the thousands of hours she has spent with individuals, couples, and families who have come into her office for therapy. She has distilled the experiences of her practice and the years of study into a very helpful, imminently readable book. Don't let this book's size fool you! It is condensed to encourage your reading and it is dense with meaningful information which all couples should identify and find greatly useful in working on their marriages.

Amazing Grace

How to not be a wretch though married. And how amazing to discover useful, fresh tools of truth! The book charms with humor woven into mini-stories revealing pearls of wisdom. "How" is an "AH-YES!" blessing to re-read.The author has a loyal following of fans who know her. We've admired Rebecca's endearing print and dazzling presence. I believe that none of us, except perhaps Rebecca, would be surprised to find her in the company of "Oprah" and all as she becomes the latest rage of the nation.

Go to the Source, Dr. David Schnarch's Passionate Marriage

I think Ms. Ward would be an excellent therapist. She is deeply caring and undeniably well-intended, and certainly the principles in her book are far more sound than in most marital self-help books. But alas, she is not a good writer: not well-organized, not terribly clear, with some tendency to hop around. Few such books are written really well, but this is exceptionally clunky. Better go to the source: Dr. David Schnarch's extraordinary Passionate Marriage. She credits him in her acknowledgement ("After my first workshop with him in 1992 I felt like I needed to put a 'Closed for Remodeling' sign on my door." ---but not, in my view, nearly enough. The concepts are his. Basically, this is a well-intended, less articulate, somewhat dumbed-down, short-course version of Passionate Marriage. I guess its hominess and lack of sophistication might appeal to some --- didn't do it much for me.
