Editorial Reviews

In this easy-to-read, very informative book, couples in distress follow an explicit and compassionate guideline which allows them to separate, physically if need be and emotionall, in order to put sanity back into their relationship. This is not only a book for troubled relationships; it is good support for any couple.
