SYNOPSIS: While writing their acclaimed The Stress Solution, husband-and-wife authors Lyle Miller and Alma Dell Smith realized that marriage is one of life's most potent sources of stress--yet it can also be a lifesaving refuge from outside tensions. Now drawing on their unique resources as directors at the Biobehavioral Institute in Boston and as a couple, they provide invaluable guidance in this reassuring book. While no intimate relationship can ever be stress-free, Stress and Marriage helps you protect yourself from the devastating physical and emotional consequences of mismanaged, misunderstood, or just plain ignored stress. Use proven clinical tools, including the Marital Stress Inventory and the Making It Better Questionnaire, to pinpoint sources of stress in your relationship and formulate a customized Marital Stress Action Plan. You'll also find case studies throughout that are powerfully enlightening. Stress and Marriage provides clear, practical methods and examples that will help couples understand each other better, significantly relieve the tension in their lives, and positively transform their marriages. Even if your partner never reads a page of this book, you'll learn ways to change your communicating style that will reduce marital discord and lead you to a calmer, happier, healthier life. - and - Stress and Marriage will help you discover: The "life script" you created in childhood, and how it can backfire on you today; Ways to avoid making personal, permanent, and pervasive criticisms that fuel bickering, arguments, and fights; Which of the three action strategies--fighting, fleeing, and flowing--best suits a particular problem; How your birth order tendencies can mesh or clash with your mate's; Negotiation techniques in power struggles over money, children, sex, careers, time, and space; The crucial difference between privacy and secrecy; Nonverbal messages that can sabotage your spoken statements; What you can do to build on the good things your mate does; The benefits of acknowledging differences in culture, intellectual style, energy level, and other areas.
