Synopsis

Some couples just seem to have what it takes, while others clash constantly and struggle to connect. What do these happy couples know? What is their secret? The answer lies in Emotional Intelligence -- the ability to perceive, use, understand, and manage emotions -- and the good news is that it can be learned. What Smart Couples Know presents a unique and realistic program to help couples and individuals develop this all-important skill and in turn create healthy, loving, mutually satisfying relationships. Compassionate, instructive, and inspiring, What Smart Couples Know will help men and women:

* become more self-aware * learn to read their partners’ signals and emotions * express their own feelings more clearly * understand and regulate their own emotions * handle frustration and settle differences in a non-destructive way * break the cycle of blame.

Complete with revealing self-tests and constructive exercises, What Smart Couples Know is a groundbreaking book that will help couples everywhere reach their romantic potential.
