Why you should read Money, Sex, and Kids

The answer is, “money, sex and kids.” What is the question? “What are the three issues that stir up the most trouble in a marriage?” If you find yourself endlessly fighting with your spouse, you may have something in common with the hundreds of couples Dr. Tina B. Tessina has counseled who continually bump heads over these emotionally charged issues. Tessina, a.k.a. “Dr. Romance,” shows you how to stop arguing and focus on collaboration. She provides effective strategies and techniques, including fighting do’s and don’ts, budgeting advice, tactics for improving intimacy and exercises for spouses to share. Although the contents are not as innovative as the catchy title, Tessina’s focus on problem solving, mutual support and honest communication can buttress any challenging relationship. If one, two or all three of these divisive issues are threatening to derail your marriage, getAbstract believes this book may help you get back on track.
