Relationship Rescue: A Seven-Step Strategy for Reconnecting with Your Partner

"I'm prepared to kick a hole in the wall of the pain-ridden, unhappy maze you've gotten yourself into, and provide you clear access to action-oriented answers and instructions on what you must do to have what you want," says Dr. Phil. His aim is to expose and eliminate the saboteurs that cause senseless damage to already-fragile marriages, and, like an emotional root canal, to replace them with values he says provide positive results. If you follow Dr. Phil's strategy, he will lead you on a precise journey to uncover your heart and then share it with your partner as part of taking the "risk of intimacy."

Dr. Phil leads you to "reconnect with your core" in the first five steps of his seven-step strategy. By no means a quick fix, there are in-depth and rigorous questionnaires, surveys, tests, and profiles that require a "brutally candid" mindset, with such fill-in-the-blanks as "List five things that today would make you fall out of love with your partner." With this internal work accomplished, you'll then move on to reconnecting with your partner during a two-week, half-hour-a-day short course. As a "dyad," you and your loved one take turns giving monologues on topics such as "The most positive thing I took away from my mother and father's relationship was..."

Once the "reconnection" has been established, Dr. Phil says the work shifts to a management role, as relationships are always a work in progress. Dr. Phil humorously refers to his own marriage throughout the book, sharing his mishaps and victories in learning to accept and enjoy what he sees as fundamental but complementary differences between men and women. --John Youngs

Dr. Phill Books and CD's, 2008-12-16
I have and read every book Dr. Phil has written and 2 of the CD Book's. There isn't any information that he proects that isn't helpful. This man is down to earth and I watch or tape his show every day. I have improved my own life from listening, reading, and watching him. I can't even imagine him being behind a desk and seeing clients on an hourly basis on his couch sort-of-speak. He is doing what he is suppose to be doing and God Bless him for including his family. He is Mr. Wonderful. It would be my dream to meet him some day.

you've tried so many things, and it's not working.... , 2008-12-11
I got this book trying to save my marriage. I was denying the abuse. This book did help me a little with recognizing the abuse because Dr. Phil said stuff like, "there is no right or wrong way to love" and I tried to talk about what I'd found in the book to my husband who just dismissed anything I had to say.

My husband denying everything and was not even interested in what I had learned: another clue to me that something "wasn't right" with us.....and part of my awakening into reality.

I had even thought that, even though he was physically abusive, it was different with us.

so PLEASE if you are being hit at all and you think it's your fault, it's NOT. if he insults you and makes you feel bad about yourself and trying to prove yourself, this book will not help: get "Why Does He Do That" cause look, no matter how you change your behavior, you CANNOT CHANGE THE BEHAVIOR OF AN ABUSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, but if you're not in an abusive relationship, and you have a partner who will go through it with you and be open, I recommend it. I like the myth-busting and the profiles of how you fight.

Relationship Rescue, 2008-07-01
From what my husband and I have read so far, there is a lot to learn from Dr. Phil's Relationship Rescue. We also bought the workbook to go along with it and would highly suggest that people do that as well. The two resources put together are wonderfully productive. Just don't expect a "how to get your spouse to change" book, this is a book designed to help you better yourself. You realize what you are doing wrong so that you can begin doing the right things. Eventually, your spouse will come around based on your actions. The old proverb that goes something along the lines of kill meanness with kindness definetely applies here.
