Book excerpt: When a marriage is gasping for breath, "emergency" relationship help is needed. Couples are in the throes of high emotion and confusion, and often don't have what it takes to survive the next agonizing wave of emotion or uncertainty. Often, one or both partners already have a foot out the door. In some cases, this marriage emergency has happened suddenly. In other cases, couples have been treading water for years, languishing in an unhappy marriage and quietly reaching their breaking point. Marriage SOS throws "lifelines" to these drowning relationships by giving them easy and effective marriage-saving strategies so that they can find their way back to shore. It also provides "crisis care" so that couples can survive such ills as affairs or inappropriate opposite-sex friendships, an inability to budget, sex and intimacy issues, divided loyalties (i.e. ex-partners, in-laws), problems with blended families and step-children, and dealing with a belligerent, critical or defensive spouse. In Marriage SOS, leading marriage author-expert Debra Macleod, B.A., LL.B., has gathered her unique brand of practical, pull-no-punches, fast-acting marriage advice into book format. She has condensed the most effective strategies from her years of experience in successful private practice. These are strategies that have managed to help thousands of real-world couples make sometimes overnight improvements to their marriage. Importantly, Marriage SOS is a rare marriage guide that speaks with a candor that appeals to men as well as women. Part "emergency" marriage manual and part wake-up call to couples, Debra has created a month-long relationship saver that each day gives spouses a new and effective lifeline strategy that can rescue their relationship in thirty days. It also offers "crisis care" that helps spouses survive those acute or chronic problems that can drain the life out of a marriage. This remarkably pragmatic, effective and user-friendly book should be essential reading for all couples. Praise for Debra Macleod from LIBRARY JOURNAL: "Most people spend the largest part of adulthood slogging through committed relationships, and they need books like this."
