Harvard-trained lawyer and family and divorce mediator
Laurie Puhn shows busy couples how to stop fighting and
start communicating.
It happens every day—a simple exchange or harmless response
turns into a heated debate or worse, an all-out battle.
Hard-pressed for quality time with our partners and spouses,
it’s easy to fall into a poor communication routine. How can
two people who love one another so much have such difficulty
talking to one another?
Drawing on her expertise in legal mediation and conflict
resolution, Puhn’s fresh approach gives simple, 5-minute
conversations that will instantly improve communication—as
well as the quality of relationships. In Fight Less, Love
More, learn how to identify and conquer the poor verbal
habits, instinctive responses, and emotional reasoning that
can cloud judgment and ultimately lead to the deterioration
of otherwise healthy relationships. Love is conditional, argues Puhn, and for love to survive,
couples don’t need to talk more—they need to talk better.
With exercises, examples, and sample scripts, Puhn’s simple
5-minute strategies promise immediate results and provide
long-lasting communication skills that couples can
confidently employ when faced with future conflict.
