""Love is an Action Verb: Couples Therapy Workbook is chock full of practical wisdom that couples can apply immediately to challenges within their sacred relationship. Couples start with making their shared goals and then get straight to work on tackling common pitfalls that befall any relationship with long duration: Effective Communication, Conflict Resolution, getting your needs met, and more! Essential skills are taught in practices of self-reflection, responding without reacting, having empathy for your partner, and many ways to be vulnerable that deepen intimacy and trust. I absolutely adore the chapter on Vitamin N! The workbook also offers date night hints for couples in a rut. This gem is thoughtfully written and beautifully offered to couples who want to deepen their bond and have a healthy and happy relationship based on trust, respect, responsibility, and most importantly deep and abiding love. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COUPLE'S TREASURE WORKBOOK!""
