12 Hours to a Great Marriage
十二小时，一场更好的婚姻
Howard J. Markman, Scott M. Stanley, and Susan L. Blumberg
What it is about
12 Hours to a Great Marriage is a shorter PREP companion to Fighting for Your Marriage, organised as a limited set of structured talks rather than a second theory of marriage. Markman, Stanley, and Blumberg walk couples through timed conversations on expectations, conflict habits, and commitment so practice fits busy lives. The book assumes both partners can speak safely and take turns; it is a workshop in print, not a substitute for the fuller PREP volume and not a crisis protocol.
Questions it can answer
- How is this shorter PREP companion organised differently from Fighting for Your Marriage?
- Which topics do the timed talks cover for a busy couple?
- What does the book assume about safety and turn-taking before the exercises work?
What you will not find
- A full duplicate of every exercise in Fighting for Your Marriage
- Guidance for one-sided violence or coercive control
- A promise that twelve hours fix every marriage
