You may be wondering how this could be possible. How could information be out there that you have not read or that Dr. Phil has not told you? Well, read on.
I've Been There…
I searched for a lot of years for the secrets to a great relationship. Finally, after 30 years of marriage, and over 15 years as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I found the answers. And you get the benefits of my time and experience.
Let's face it. If you are like most people, you desperately want and need close, supportive relationships. You are relational by nature. But creating fulfilling, stress-free relationships seems impossible. Why? Because no one ever taught us how to do it right!
Did you learn how to share your feelings and ask for what you want growing up? Of course not! Our families don't teach us, our schools don't teach us, and our churches spend a lot of time preaching what we should do and not much time showing us how to do it!
If you resemble people I talk to, you wander from one program to another, and read everything you can get your hands on. You keep searching for the secrets to better health or great relationships and when you can't find it you get discouraged and think it's a big mystery. Most people don't find the answers until it's too late!
Why should people have to wait until they need "therapy" to learn these simple life skills? Why do you have to wait until it's "too late" for emotional, physical and relational health?
There are concrete ways to increase marital satisfaction and reduce risk of divorce. The same concrete skills can also improve health and increase energy. Why hasn't anyone told you? Until now, no one has been connecting the dots.
That's why I wrote this book. "Watch Out! Your Relationships Can Be Hazardous To Your Health" brings this information to you in a simple, easy-to-read format.

Allen Klein, author of The Healing Power of Humor
From my many years of personal and professional experiences, I chose ten essential life skills for anyone who desires success in life and love.
In Watch Out! Your Relationships Can Be Hazardous to Your Health, I share the secrets and connect the dots for you. Each chapter is dedicated to teaching a skill that will both enhance your relationship and improve your health. You will increase marital satisfaction and reduce risk of divorce. You will create a happier, more connected family, reduce stress and have more energy.
In Watch Out! you get straightforward information in bite sized pieces, with the added bonus of Relationship WorkoutsTM to help you practice these ten essential skills. (Click here to peruse the table of contents.)
What I learned after many years of personal searching and marriage and family training is that most people don't need "therapy". Most relationship problems are just two nice people doing the best they can with little preparation. You just need to learn a few simple skills. Skills you weren't taught growing up; skills anyone can learn if they want to.
It wasn't until I really studied stress and health issues that the light went on connecting the two -relationship stress and health. I realized that the same simple skills that improve relationships also improve health. That's because the biggest source of stress in our lives is interpersonal problems at home and at work!
Do you want to know how to develop greater trust and intimacy? Do you want to resolve differences peacefully, let go of resentments and feel close again?
- long for deeper relationships
- worry about your health
- exercise, or feel guilty that you don't
- worry about your weight
- schedule yearly check-ups
- wish you could give up smoking
The Gym Myth
Do you put up with stress all day at work and then think cutting your cholesterol or working out at the gym will fix it? Do you work out for an hour or two, and then go home and fight? You might as well just stay home, eat a can of Crisco, and veg!
Fact:
When you ignore problems in your relationships at work or at
home, you reduce benefits from other positive health habits.
Watch Out! provides strategies for healing pain and muscle tension which can result from unresolved interpersonal stress. This book gives information and teaches skills that provide the missing link for many of my clients. I highly recommend it.
