'Communication is at the core of all relationships, and it is inevitable that it fails at times. These occurrences offer crucial golden opportunities to find our way back to harmony. If we are available and willing to make successful repairs, the relationship strengthens and builds in trust and resilience ... it is what you do with conflict that matters.'

This is a book for anyone who is struggling in their relationship. Written by two relationship therapists - who are also a married couple - it gently unpicks why communication breaks down and why either party might be driven to behave in particular ways. Every relationship goes through periods of rupture but Matt and Sarah show us why it happens and how it is possible to turn a period of struggle into something positive.

Written with empathy, warmth and wisdom, this book is an engaging blend of personal narrative, expert advice, illuminating case studies and practical exercises.
