Are you winning at work, but failing at home? You can still save your marriage before it’s too late! Divorce is everywhere; especially among high-achieving and success-driven people, who sometimes leave a trail of broken relationships in their wake. In Change Your life Not Your wife, psychologist Dr. Tony Ferretti and physician Dr. Peter Weiss demystify why the same character traits that drive career success can also destroy families. Using true-to-life examples, they examine the perils of being achievement or power-oriented in intimate relationships, and how those relationships can get better. They demonstrate that when couples start to work through their issues, dramatic improvement and healing are possible. Change Your Life, Not Your Wife will: • Reveal why emotional immaturity and self-absorption are common among the powerful. • Share ways beneficial traits in the workplace – competitiveness, drive, perfectionism, control, and a critical eye – cause destruction at home. • Explore how your current behavior in relationships has been shaped by your childhood experiences. • Provide simple exercises to help you evaluate your marriage. • Offer actionable advice on turning around marriages on the brink of self-destruction. • Discuss why you must first change your own behavior if you want to impact your spouse’s behavior. Reading Change Your Life, Not Your Wife can produce breakthrough transformations in your marriage. This provocative book will challenge and encourage you to start on the road to improving your relationships.

Divorce is epidemic among successful, "high-powered" people. Doctors, lawyers, executives, politicians and entrepreneurs often attain career success only to fail at home in their family relationships. What gives? Has success changed them? Or, have they been secretly waiting to exit when the time is right? Did they ever love their spouses? In The Love Fight, Drs. Tony Ferretti and Peter Weiss explain how worldly successful individuals fail at home in their intimate relationships, often from a mismatch of priorities and styles between the success-oriented "Achievers" and their relationship-oriented "Connector" spouses. This Achiever mindset is common in highly successful people of all social classes, perhaps especially so in America where such success is lionized and top CEOs are considered heroes. As opposites attract and Achievers meet and marry Connectors, the very same personality traits that propelled the Achiever to the top in medicine, law, business or politics (and which may have attracted a more relationship-oriented partner in the first place) often sow the seeds of destruction in their marriage. These traits, and the differences between Achievers and Connectors, can create a dynamic of poor communication leading to anger, resentment, and eventual estrangement. Achiever or Connector, The Love Fight is a book that will help you understand your spouse and yourself better. It's easy-to-read and understand style, simple assessments and exercises to evaluate your relationship, and straightforward strategies can help you develop an action plan to create the marriage you want.
