In this book, presented as a fictional account of a couples communication workshop, you'll be taken through the processes and exercises meticulously crafted by Rick and Aviva Longinotti. We recommend reading it together as a couple, if possible, and then implementing some of the enriching exercises you'll discover.

Meet Sarah and Gene, a retired couple navigating a rough patch in their long relationship. Join Gina and Doris, grappling with the strain on their relationship due to different living habits. Follow Amir and Mei as they navigate recovery from infidelity, and witness Angela and Dave, a couple with young children on the verge of breaking up. Leading the class are Jessica and Carlos, juggling professional lives and family responsibilities. Throughout the book, these couples learn to shift their thinking habits, starting with self-compassion.

This book is a guide for couples seeking greater closeness, aiming to make everyday conversations more satisfying. It's for partners who want to express their needs in a way that resonates with their significant other without causing offense. Ultimately, it's a resource for couples aspiring to experience the joy of mutual acceptance and giving to one another.
