For the past twenty-five years, the internationally renowned marital researchers from the Center for Marital and Family Studies at the University of Denver have been helping couples around the globe replace loneliness with connection, frustration with understanding, fear with confidence, instability with commitment, revenge with forgiveness, and monotony with passion. Their program is called PREP®, short for the Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program, and it's been so successful that its creators have been featured on Oprah, The Today Show, and 20/20, and its benefits have been documented in The New York Times, USA Today, Womans Day, and Redbook.
Until now the only way you could experience this winning twelve-hour program was to attend a weekend workshop. But now, with 12 Hours to a Great Marriage, you can discover the simple, effective strategies that have helped thousands of couples— happily married, having issues, or planning to marry— to develop and protect their love, easily and at your own pace. Each chapter covers one of the key ingredients of the program, like Being Best Friends, Having Fun Together, and Protecting and enhancing Your Love Life, and shows you how to take the steps that research shows are the basis for a long-term, healthy, loving marriage. By practicing the simple skills, taking the thought-provoking self-tests, doing the fun and innovative exercises, and reading real-life couples' inspiring and informative stories, you'll find that in twelve short hours you'll be well on your way to having that great marriage you've always dreamed of.

For various reasons, some partners tend to drift away from the close bond they once shared. No one is ready to throw in the towel, yet the marriage starts to feel as if the two of you have become best friends in a roommate situation. This is exactly what happened to me and caused me to get this book. 12 Hours to a Great Marriage provides you with tips to being able to better communicate with each other. Many times we speak, yet the receiver does not understand exactly what it is we are saying. It better assists you both in expressing your expectations, your needs personally, etc. Although working on a marriage is difficult, the way the book is written, it makes it fun and the words flow smoothly and was not in a lecture manner, which plays a big part to keep the reader engaged. I have read a couple of other books related to marriage but this one is the only one I actually put into practice and it did get results. Your marriage doesn't need to be a disaster before picking up this book. Get it just to add a little flavor to your marriage and fire it up again!
