As a researcher and a practitioner, with multicultural experience, Dr. Cherrel Francisca has great expertise in helping couples make their marriage divorce-resistant. The underlying aim of this well-structured book, that provides a wealth of theoretical knowledge as well as "how-to" advice, is to develop the "relational intelligence" of couples. Each topic is treated from four angles: a) the knowledge that is needed; b) the right attitude that needs to be acquired; c) the skills that must be developed; and d) the traits that are to be formed and at times corrected. It demands time to read Dr. Cherrel Francisca's very complete book, but it is fully worth it.

Cherrel Francisca's book Relationship Intelligence: An Update on the Profile of Long-Lasting Marriages, is an impressive accomplishment. Informed, detailed and comprehensive, it addresses the lack of relational intelligence that lies at the base of much marital breakdown. Consequently, it focuses on developing the competencies needed to produce flourishing marriages. Each chapter concludes with three helpful sections: "Tips and recommendations"; "Concrete actions to take"; "Practical exercises". It will make a strong contribution to creating and maintaining loving and stable marriages.
