is a common couples complaint. Is it yours?

would like to – this book can help.

book available that can teach you and a partner how to have successful,
enjoyable conversations together. Written by a couples counselor,
relationship coach, educator and columnist, the work is a gold
mine of useful approaches. It has -

sides
