As I write this the current divorce rate compiled by the UKOffice For National Statistics shows that there were 106,959 divorces ofopposite-sex couples in 2016,an increase of 5.8%compared with 2015and unreasonable behaviour remained the most common grounds forcouples divorcing.The current overall figure shows that 42%of marriages end in divorce and the average length of marriages was 11.7years in 2014.These figures are of course only for people filing for divorce and if you factor in the amount of people who separate and don'tfile for divorce then the figure is far greater.Also surveys have beenconducted that show relationships,where people are chronically unhappy and the figure is 14%(how these particular figures are collectedI don't know so I can't be totally confident of their validity).Also imagine the above figures being replicated for couples who choose not tomarry and then this equates to a lot of dis-function and unhappiness.We have,I'm sure,all experienced difficulties at some point in our lifewith our partners and talking to many people about their relationships Isee a great deal of pain,anguish and confusion and then this can becompounded by not knowing where to turn to for help. I started to research the available books out there that havebeen written to help people with their relationships and although thereare not nearly as many relationship books as self-help books there arestill many to choose from.I began to read them and follow their suggestions and exercises and,came to the conclusion,that the majorityof them were overly complex,technical and very unpragmatic in theirapproach.They also often focused on the symptoms of failing relationships and looked to fix these rather than getting to the source ofwhy relationships aren't working.I wanted to try a different approachand an approach researched within my own relationship and of those Ihave coached.My commitment is to supply people with tools that theycan use that I know really make a difference and have been used by mywife and I to create a fabulous relationship.I also wanted to presentthese tools in a simple straight forward and uncomplicated way so thatthere would be nothing in the way of people being immediately inaction,having these tools positively impacting their relationships. I was faced with a dilemma when approaching writing whichwas;how do I give it enough substance so that people can relate to it asbeing substantive,relevant,empirically based and therefore give themthe confidence to use it to make a difference to their relationships butthen balance it with keeping it readable,direct and pragmatic in its approach.When I speak with clients and friends about what is going onin their relationships that have them not work in the way that theydesire,what often comes back is,'it's just so complicated',or,'I'm soconfused',or,'I don't even know where to begin with sorting it out'Humans have a tendency to make their problems complicated for thesimple reason that they then don't have to take full responsibility inworking them out.In my experience,the majority of people wouldsooner read great tom

FAQs

Why did Steve Lovell write this book?

He wanted a simpler, more pragmatic approach than overly complex relationship self-help books, focused on real sources of relationship difficulties and tools that work sustainably.

How should readers use the book for best results?

Read the Introduction and the Chapter, then move directly into the Actions. Further Reading is optional and can be explored later for deeper understanding.

What does the book say about understanding versus action?

Understanding alone does not create change; readers need to be in action. Progress comes when the Chapter and Actions are used together consistently.
