Solutions are presented for common problems without trying to dissect the whys of bad behavior. The approach is direct, simple and readily applicable. At the core of the book are twenty clues designed to help partners identify what each wants from marriage and merge these wants into shared goals. Clues include: a phrase that will end any argument in seconds; a simple communication technique that will ensure that you get the response you desire; a process to build a sturdy foundation under your dreams so they can come true; and the decisions you can make about sex and money to eliminate two of the biggest sources of problems in marriage. Step by step instructions are included to help you incorporate the clues in your marriage. Implement any number of clues in any sequence and enjoy immediate, positive results. Incorporate all of the clues and move your relationship to a new level of joy and intimacy. The information is universally applicable. The authors promote marriage, but the ideas will work equally well for any couple in a relationship which is intended to be permanent. The authors, who have been happily married to each other for 25 years, credit the ideas in the book with transforming them from well-intended lovers with poor relationship skills into a dynamic team that has successfully faced and thrived through a failed business, near bankruptcy, serious illness, caring for terminally ill parents, hostile step-children and a multi-year home remodel. A lighthearted approach to this serious topic is maintained through the introduction of well-selected quotes, real life examples and cartoon panels which reinforce key points. Easy to read, understand and implement, the book has life-changing potential.
