Summary
Do you know any women with struggling husbands?

Husbands looking to step up their game will welcome the arrival of Time Out for a Better Marriage: The Husband Guide Volume I. Therapist Ford Baker, LCSW wrote this concise guide for husbands struggling in their marriage, and it is presented in a straight-talking format that men will relate to, using charts, graphs and problem-solving strategies. It is designed to help men make sense of the difficulties that occur in marriage.

Both spouses share responsibility for marital discord, and there are excellent books that are helpful to women. Not so, for men Time out for a Better Marriage is a starting point and how-to manual for guys feeling overwhelmed in a strained marriage. Many men were not taught effective relationship skills, often leaving them feeling lost or confused. This book helps guys when the marriage begins to falter and the relationship is important enough for them to begin considering a different approach.

In many cases, before a woman gives up on her man, Time out for a Better Marriage is one way to communicate some of what she has been trying to say in a way he may hear it. (From the publisher.)
