Ever feel like you just can't take it anymore? Have you reached your limit with your spouse, your kids, or your coworkers? You are not alone. Discover true stories that will keep you laughing and give you the tools you need to transform your most difficult relationships. Backed by decades of research and clinical experience, Dr. Nealy Brown has provided thousands of people across the globe with life-changing truths to help them succeed with even the most challenging people in their lives.

- Restore your marriage even after your spouse has walked out.

- Strengthen your healthy relationships even further.

For years now, those I've served have asked for a book to remind them of principles that are simple but not always easy to remember and follow. We are happy to offer this humble composition. Nothing in here is new. Nothing is rocket science. Nothing will magically make all your relationships perfect. However, what we can offer you are moments to make you laugh, to make you think, and to challenge you to find ways to have great relationships, even with those who can be difficult. Many who have learned these principles have found they were able to make amazing relationships where they had never before thought it was possible.

We're not sure what it is that you are facing right now that led you to pick up this book. My guess is that you are hoping to make something better. You may even feel frustrated or hopeless. Perhaps your work or home is becoming almost unbearable. Hang in there because we might just have some answers, a rope to pull you out of the rut you've been in.
