An excellent book on breaking the bad communication habits we’ve unknowingly developed, and learning how to communicate and relate in healthy ways that will deepen intimacy in your relationship and strengthen your marriage. This is basically the same knowledge you would gain from marriage counseling sessions. Very good read if you’re looking to improve your relationship.

Steve has a wonderful writing style that combines personal experience, academic studies and insightful stories into a narrative that is at the same time informative and entertaining. Helpful advice for anyone, whether they are newlywed or past their golden anniversary. My favorite section was on play. Great stuff!

We can all improve our marriage, whether it is going well or struggling. Dr. Steve Call gives practical examples you find yourself saying "that's me" and he teaches tools that help improve how we relate to each other in the midst of differences and conflict. We found his insights have helped us with the issues that continue to reoccur and can cause disconnect in our marriage. Dr Call's insight on how conflict can lead to intimacy and deeper love if you know how to navigate the course. His tools work! Everyone can benefit from Reconnect!

...In short, my wife and I have found good counseling that has been a great help. This book was also a huge help. It gives many of the same principles that we've found to be gems. It often, however, uses different terms than we've been hearing. This book, Reconnect, is filling in blanks in my understanding and weaving themes that I couldn't quite fit together on my own. It has opened my eyes and relieved a good bit of distress at the same time.
Whether you've had a lot of professional marriage counseling or none, I think you'll find that Reconnect will give you easy-to-understand tools that will strengthen your connection with people you love. It is an interesting read because it is packed with stories. I could see lots of ways that couples in the stories mirror our marriage. We're doing better as a result. I love when my wife and I connect.

Great book. Extremely helpful on many fronts. As a pastor who does a lot of counseling, I wish I would've read this earlier on in my ministry, and earlier on in my own marriage. A wealth of insight and information!
