Snap Strategies for Couples: 40 Fast Fixes for Everyday Relationship Pitfalls is full of quick solutions to every relationship’s most common problems. Dr. Lana Staheli and Dr. Pepper Schwartz offer 40 practical, immediate fixes (or "snaps”) that partners can use to end the fighting, leave the baggage behind, and move their relationship forward.

Snap Strategies for Couples is based on an alternative approach to prevailing advice that every issue has to be talked about at length, and that partners need to understand each other’s every motivation and thought process. Instead, these tips get right to the daily difficulties that cause the fights, addressing unhelpful behaviors and giving solutions to move past them. These clear and sensible strategies offer couples an alternative to lengthy, expensive, emotionally charged therapy sessions, which can sometimes cause as many issues as they’re meant to solve.

Dr. Staheli and Dr. Schwartz cover all manner of problems, from everyday bickering to serious differences of opinion, giving readers guidance throughout the course of a relationship. Helpful for both longtime couples who have hit relationship snags and for newly committed partners looking to build healthy habits, Snap Strategies for Couples has positive, useful fixes that everyone can use.

      Starred review from February 1, 2015

      While the title may lead readers to dismiss the advice in this book as "too easy to be true," coauthors Staheli (Affair-Proof Your Marriage) and Schwartz (sociology, Univ. of Washington) present doable small steps designed to reduce bickering, drama, and short-circuit the all-out battles. They pose 40 typical situations (e.g., one partner criticizes the other) and deliver a closer look at what's really going on, a positive response, and a professional analysis of the relationship. Suggestions cover the territory of both what not to do (e.g., offering unwanted advice) and what to do (e.g., assuming and showing goodwill toward one's partner). VERDICT Except for severe situations, applying the guidance in this book, even if only a few suggestions, would make for a stronger relationship.
