Book Nook - Fix Your Marriage Without Counseling: A Practical Method Men Will Appreciate

When licensed marriage and family therapist Ziba Graham Jr. was counseling couples, he created a unique method of conflict resolution that worked wonders — without ever knowing what the conflict was to begin with.

 

“I never tried to find out what the problem was. If you start out thinking about the problem and talking about the problem over and over again, the problem just gets bigger,” Graham said.

 

Instead, he taught couples a practical, points-based method that helped them find solutions in real time, without ever revisiting their past problems. And after retiring from counseling, he wanted nothing more than to share his method with the masses.

 

In his new book, Fix Your Marriage Without Counseling: A Practical Method Men Will Appreciate, he shares the groundbreaking strategies he used to help hundreds of couples dramatically improve the quality of their marriages — strategies that often meant his counseling services were no longer necessary.  

 

“It was always a great day for me when I got fired,” Graham quipped. “I decided early on that I would try to help all clients resolve their difficulties as quickly as possible so they could become interdependent, fully functioning people again, and to see that happening was terrific!”

 

In his book, readers will learn how to:

 

• Communicate effectively

• Avoid laying blame

• Improve a partner’s behavior without nagging

• Leave the past in the past

• Use the miracle question to identify what they want and recall better times

• Recognize what is working

• Focus on the future instead of negative past experiences

• Determine what not to do and say

• And so much more

 

Insightful and thought-provoking, Fix Your Marriage Without Counseling is a valuable resource for anyone who’d rather seek solutions than wallow in problems.

 

“Using this method will resolve conflicts in usually three to four guided conversations,” Graham added. “By simply answering questions, you will be empowered to discover your own solutions. Most importantly, the problem or conflict is never identified, allowing you to focus on getting back to a joy-filled marriage.”
