While I do think this book has some really good points - especially around how to fight productively and generally be a better partner - and, separately, I enjoyed a lot of the couple vignettes, I found those examples sort of not-helpful to me personally, more just like fun little dramas. In those, the resolutions seemed to all be quick major breakthroughs and VERY focused on childhood experience, which is fine and probably happens, but if it's not as applicable to you it makes the utility of the book feel a bit flat.
