Conquer Conflict in Your Marriage

(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 29, 2007 ) Pt. Roberts, WA -- The divorce rate in America is now at its lowest level since 1970, according to an AP article dated May 10th. Many marriage experts see the decline in divorce as a result of better conflict resolution skills by couples. Emily Bouchard, founder of HeartPath Family Coaching and noted expert in step-family issues, offers her ebook, Conquering Conflict, to help marriages stay strong using proven conflict resolution methods. Bouchard says, “Whether you are dealing with marriage conflicts, relationship issues or family stress, once you read through this e-book, you'll have a powerful tool in your hands to dramatically reduce conflict and increase fulfillment in your family.”Bill Coffin, the Department of Health and Human Services special assistant for marriage education is convinced that marriage education programs are in part responsible for the decline in divorces. “The word is out that marriage doesn’t have to be a crap shoot – it’s not the luck of the draw,” Coffin said. “It’s how you deal with the inevitable conflict and anger in marriage.” Conflict and anger are the most destructive forces in marriage and family relationships and couples that take advantage of available education resources have a better chance of lasting relationships. Conquering Conflict presents real-life situations and real-do-able strategies for couples and families to put an end to the seemingly endless cycle of anger and conflict that exist within step-families. Conquering Conflict also offers strategies to help individuals cope with anger and conflict in all aspects of their daily interactions-at work, as well as at home and to understand their own belief systems and trigger points. And since Conquering Conflict is an ebook, it’s easily accessible to all. Bouchard is a leading guru in blended family relationships.
