Author Stonewalls Couple Discord Myths, Focuses on Faulty Communication as Main Cause
FORT LEE, N.J. (PRWEB) June 10, 2019 -- The number one cause of divorce and breakups among non-marrieds is the lack of one or both partner's ability to communicate on an emotional level. Disputes regarding finances, sex, children, infidelity and in-laws are common, but, Dr. Barbanell asserts that the fundamental problem is how couples use emotions to negotiate these and other matters.
In "Return to Harmony," Barbanell introduces readers to an abundance of unique concepts and innovative techniques including "Couplethink," (versus "Me-think"), "The No-Fault Conflict Mindset," and active "Tools of Engagement," to help partners successfully navigate the relationship minefield. In addition, he debunks long-standing, cherished beliefs and truisms that derail the path to mature, enduring love.
Finally, the book provides an invaluable bonus for readers---a self-rating scale that pinpoints each partner's strengths and weaknesses in an intimate partner setting. The scale actually yields both individual and couple intelligence scores (CQ), an original idea comparable to traditional IQ scores.
