Reconcilable Differences

7 Keys to Remaining Together from a Top Matrimonial Lawyer

About The Book

THE "ANTI-DIVORCE" BOOK FOR COUPLES WHO ARE COMMITTED TO MAKING "I DO" LAST FOR A LIFETIME
Robert Stephan Cohen believes that no marriage is half as complicated as a divorce -- and with three decades of experience as a high-profile divorce lawyer, he should know! In Reconcilable Differences, he gives couples the keys to navigating conflicts before they become roadblocks to marital harmony.
Cohen begins by identifying the seven "Universal Differences" that often lead to conflict but don't necessarily signal the end of the union:
Parallel Lives * Communication * Sex * Money *
Infidelity * Transitions * In-laws/Family

With the cool, compassionate voice of a trusted adviser, he then explains that there are three phases of conflict: Warning signs -- the early tip-offs that trouble is brewing; Crimes and misdemeanors -- actions guaranteed to raise tempers; and Reconciliation -- the process of getting back on track. Drawing on countless case histories, Cohen reveals how to put these differences behind you and move forward -- together.
