Based on 12 years of pioneering research, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage.

Marriage as a Path to Wholeness
What listeners say about Getting the Love You Want
Terrible narration
The female author sounds like she is reading single words off flash cards. I believe a computer narrated book would have more emotion. This was so hard to listen to that I could get past chapter 2. I'm disappointed that Audible would allow this book to be offered. I want a refund!
jessica hamm
Been to a few counselors and nothing did what this book did for me.
Thank you very much. Now I hope it's not to late to save my relaytionship.

Can't find the PDF mentioned at the end :(
Where is the PDF of Imago exercises, supposedly at harvilleandhelen.com? I can't find it anywhere on the site.
Completely changed my life
Absolutely incredible content. Truly life changing. Anyone attempting to be in a loving relationship should read/listen whether you're currently in a relationship or not!
Didn't love the narration but appreciated that it was authentic to the authors:)
Sam S.
great overall relationship book
I have been doing some pretty intense personal and relationship therapy for the last 2 years or so and this book is almost a sort of greatest hits of the best books I have read so far. lots of insight to be found here.

This might be the thing to save my relationship
This book helped me understand why all my relationships have ended with me feeling distance and angry for no explainable reason and my constant desire to run and have an escape route with a fear of losing who I am. I now feel ready to sacrifice for the growth of her which will in turn create a healing growth for myself. This book is a must read for couples.
Oneredeemer
this is information that I have been searching for all my life. I am thankful I found it and very grateful that Harville and Helen have been doing this work!
Juan A. Vazquez
Amazingly insightful!
When I first started listening, I felt annoyed and I didn't think I would like the book. But, I am really, really, really glad I stayed and listen. Book S amazingly insightful content that would be helpful for anyone even if you're not in a relationship at the moment. The narration style is actually really good, it just took me a bit of getting used to it.
I get that Harville wanted to give Helen her proper dues for the contribution she made to the book but she is really difficult to listen to.. Id prefer if it was just him.
Andrea Chepurny
I could read this 100 times! Thank you so much!
I am excited about having tools now to apply to my marriage
