Through the best-selling ScreamFree Parenting, Hal Runkel
showed thousands of parents how keeping their cool can
revolutionize their family life. In his groundbreaking new
book, ScreamFree Marriage, Runkel now shows couples how
learning to stay calm, in the face of common marital
conflicts, is the key to creating and enjoying a deep,
lifelong connection.
Every committed couple strives to hold on to the marriage
they envisioned back when they first said "I do"--before the
end of the honeymoon phase, before kids, mortgages, health
crises, and all life's inescapable issues. But the truth is
this: conflict is unavoidable--it's impossible for two
people to see every single thing, face every issue, and
experience every situation in exactly the same way. What
results are couples "screaming" at each other--sometimes
literally yelling out loud, sometimes shutting themselves
down and shutting their partners out, and sometimes avoiding
the issue altogether--none of which leads to the passionate,
intimate connection we all crave.
In ScreamFree Marriage, Hal introduces some radical new
concepts about marriage, teaching couples how to embrace
this inevitable conflict as a profound vehicle for
strengthening a marriage. Rather than just a source of pain
and disagreement, these "Fires of Commitment," as Hal
describes them, can actually be the exact experience needed
to grow couples into new levels of maturity and intimacy. By
simply learning the ScreamFree formula of Calming Down,
Growing Up, and Getting Closer, you too can cross through
these fires and end up with a closer and more passionate
marriage than ever before. Using accessible anecdotes and
the disarming humor that readers have come to love, Runkel
disproves prevailing marital wisdom, puts couples on a path
to "intimate independence" and reveals a whole new, fresh
approach to marriage.
