I decided to write a book on negotiation because it fit perfectly into my personal/professional goal: “To help couples stay together happily” Even couples that have a good relationship will have issues that are difficult for them to handle. My book will help couples make a good relationship better, and will help keep strong relationships strong. When there are differences of opinions, this is the time when couples need the most help. The good news is couples can work together to get past their differences, and the relationship is stronger for the effort. I have structured this book so that the reader will not only understand the material, but will have clear guidelines to follow and that can be easily applied. First, I tell you the Core Ideas of the Book. Then I’ll give you a bunch of examples. At the end of each chapter are easy to use worksheets that include the main points of the chapter. Lastly, in the appendix I provide these worksheets in one place so you and your partner can easily copy and use them when you need to negotiate with each other. The material in a book is not as important as the ability to use that material when you need it.
