A refreshing take on marriage which reminds us that in any system, in this case, the family system, when anything changes, the whole system must change. One person can make a positive change. The author reminds us that marriage is a choice - to stay or leave. If we choose to stay, then it is each person's responsibility to take care of their own happiness. Unrealistic expectations of marriage are also addressed. This book offers hope. ( ) Winifred Reilly is a family therapist who realizes that her own marriage is in decay. She decides that a major change is in order and proceeds to apply many of her own professional strategies towards salvaging her relationship. Winifred quickly realizes that the first step in improving her marriage is to revamp herself. Each chapter describes special situations faced by her patients or revelations from her own marriage. Each crisis is dissected and the key themes are applied in her attempt to improve. This advice is summarized at the end of each chapter. I found this book to be a sound portrayal of relationships and the struggles couples face seeking advice. While acknowledging the challenges of marriage, Winifred Reilly provides humor and honesty in her approach to the dilemma many adults struggle with today. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
With a focus on self-empowerment and resilience, this refreshing and witty relationship guide has a reassuring counterintuitive message for unhappy spouses: you only need one partner to initiate far-reaching positive change in a marriage. Conventional wisdom says that "it takes two" to turn a troubled marriage around and that both partners must have a shared commitment to change. So when couples can't agree on how--or whether--to make their marriage better, many give up or settle for a less-than-satisfying marriage (or think the only way out is divorce). Fortunately, there is an alternative. "What distinguishes Reilly's book is that she says a warring couple don't have to agree on the goal of staying together; it takes one person changing, not both, to make a marriage work" (The New York Times). Marriage and family therapist Winifred Reilly has this message for struggling partners: Take the lead. Doing so is effective--and powerful. Through Reilly's own story of reclaiming her now nearly forty-year marriage, along with anecdotes from many clients she's worked with, you'll learn how to: -Focus on your own behaviors and change them in ways that make you feel good about yourself and your marriage -Take a firm stand for what truly matters to you without arguing, cajoling, or resorting to threats -Identify the "big picture" issues at the basis of your repetitive fights--and learn how to unhook from them -Be less reactive, especially in the face of your spouse's provocations -Develop the strength and stamina to be the sole agent of change Combining psychological theory, practical advice, and personal narrative, It Takes One to Tango is a "wise and uplifting" (Dr. Ellyn Bader, Director of The Couples Institute) guide that will empower those who choose to take a bold, proactive approach to creating a loving and lasting marriage.
