You were happy once; then the arguments began. In the beginning, you felt appreciated and loved; but lately – not so much. What happened? And how do you get back on the road to happy?

In Argument Addiction, two top docs deconstruct marital disagreements and show us what they truly are and it has nothing with who loads the dishwasher right or who is a more permissive parent. All marital arguments say one thing, and that one thing is a corrosive bomb sure to break apart any solid union.

Argument Addiction - The new book by top docs, Dr Phillip Lee & Dr Diane Rudolph.

With three simple rules and two willing partners, marriages heal almost instantly. Simple, clear and hugely readable: here is your way back to a joyful and satisfactory relationship.
