What are the secrets for improving communication and reducing conflict? What gets you through the major stresses of marriage, such as child-rearing, work, money issues, and in-laws? We learn about communicating in the most constructive ways during conflict (even for those who don't like to talk), keeping the spark alive over the years, and learning to accept your partner as he or she is. We also hear wonderful, very personal stories that are sometimes moving, sometimes funny, and always spot-on in their advice.
