Conflict Resolution for Couples: "Just the Tools" Edition

The "Just the Tools" edition is an abbreviated version of Paul's first book, "Conflict Resolution for Couples". This leaner edition "cuts to the chase" of couple's conflict resolution, without the additional foundational and specialty sections of the original book.

It also serves as a companion book to either Paul's the "Top 10 Marriage Essentials" or the "Top 10 Dating Essentials". It retains the same comprehensive, easy-to-understand, and logical progression found in the original.

The most recent edition of this book has a publishing date of 6/4/2019.
This book consists of three parts:

1. The conflict model. Couples typically have differing approaches to resolving issues and, as a result, keep meeting an impasse. By embracing the same process, they can move forward to reaching resolution.Â
2. The ABC's for a "fair fight". There are 26 guidelines (the ABC's) for identifying, validating, processing and resolving issues.
3. Routines for maintaining change. While couples will often make temporary relational corrections, they often backslide over time into their old dysfunctional rituals. They need healthier routines that keep the relationship on a conscious level, allowing them to maintain change for the long-term.
