Summary: A fair supplement, but otherwise lacking.
Review: I am only halfway through the book, but I'm finding that every chapter I read is very much a rehash of the principles contained in "We Can Work It Out" by Notarius et al. I find it very possible that the author has read that book and simply regurgitated the principles in his book. While I don't find that sort of thing very admirable, this book does serve some sort of purpose. That is, to supplement other works on communicating with your parter and to offer other examples of good communication. While this book was able to give me some new ideas of ways to communicate with my partner, I find the concept of "electric sex" utterly laughable. It's just a little too new-age for me.

Summary: Easy read and best advice
Review: I have read many many books on the subject of marriage and inherent problems. Married 37 years, I find myself in a separation. I chose several books to read to help me and this one was the best. Mr. Robinson very clearly and concisely talks about the acknowledgement, acceptance and appreciation all of us need in life. These tenents and ideas he has on blame and defensiveness hit home. I have only been separated a month but this has really helped me understand our conflicts. Now all I have to do is figure out a way to have my husband read it!...I recommend this to all couples and bought books for both my married and unmarried sons.

YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

Summary: Learn the art of making love with words with these methods.
Review: If you want to create long term intimacy with your partner, you need to learn how to communicate effectively. Most couples get stuck in blame and anger, and never learn the simple methods of how to communicate with love. In my book, I talk about practical ways you can avoid all arguments, get your partner to really hear you, solve problems easily, and keep love alive long term. These methods really work incredibly well! In the word "Intimacy" is hidden the instructions for finding it: in to me see. To keep love alive, you need to learn to communicate in a way that lets your partner know who you are, and solves problems without resorting to blame. In "Communication Miracles for Couples," you'll learn the simplest, most practical ways of overcoming difficulties and creating the long term love you desire

Summary: This book was so helpful to me!
Review: It gave real tips that are practical for real people to use. It reminded me of that book Marriage Made Simple 50 Hints for Building Long-Lasting Love, which also gave tips that everyday people could understand and use. If you want to strengthen your marriage, I recommend that you buy this book.

Summary: The best married couples' communication book I've read!
Review: Like most people, my wife and I were never taught how to communicate effectively with each other. Ultimately, we ended up in marital therapy to try to save our marraige. We took turns reading the chapters of this short book to each other, then discussing what we had learned and how to put it to use. We learned more in a few nights than either of our therapists taught us, and at a tiny fraction of the cost! Our communications with each other (and with almost everyone else in our lives) has improved over 1,000%. Now, instead of just fighting over our respective positions on subjects, we can actually communicate effectively and get past our egos to get things accomplished and move on to the fun parts of life! If you don't yet know everything there is to know about really communicating with another human being on the very deepest and most effective level, then GET THIS BOOK!

Summary: Excellent
Review: Putting a broken relationship back together again may seem like a miracle, but as this well-written guide shows, it can often stem from fairly minor common-sense steps which the author shows you how to take. Communication is key to understanding each other, which in itself is the platform for a fulfilling relationship. "Miracles" are rare (though the author cites an example of a couple who were brought together when the husband passed a stool shaped like St Dunstan) - working hard at a relationship is within anyone's reach.

Summary: This is a great communication book.
Review: This book has been of great assistance in helping me communicate with my husband in a non-threatening manner. I recommend it to anyone seeking to understand why their mate responds in a specific way. The ideas presented are uncomplicated and immediatly useful.
