It takes a new mind-set, a new skill-set, and a new tool-set to deal with the challenge.

From AudioFile

Sandra Covey, the wife of personal development pioneer Stephen Covey, offers a pleasing contrast to the incisive logic that frames his thinking on so many aspects of human improvement. She's also a smooth storyteller, with a warm and personal voice, and the stories she delivers help make this a memorable production. Recordings of their seminar comments make up the first part of the program, and the second part features Covey's brother and his wife delivering ideas and stories about how Stephen Covey's Seven Habits can make marriage more rewarding. The theme of this installment in Covey's series is how to make better choices in the four aspects of a satisfying marriage--commitment, communication, character, and companionship. This is a reflective reminder of what is possible to achieve in a lifelong romantic partnership. T.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

This review is from: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Marriage (Audio CD)

These CD's helped me realize that the knowledgeable people who are striving to write material to help the rest of us improve our marriages have the real life experiences and situations to back it up. Their wives are extremely honest in telling us the dumb things their husbands did as well. Because of their honesty, I could relate to what they were saying and I paid better attention to their advice. They have some great stories and good advice on how I can use the 7 Habits in my marriage. It is a good reminder that the 7 Habits work in all varieties of relationships. I would recommend this to anyone who is serious about improving their their skills in dealing with relationships.

3.0 out of 5 stars Always the Same Old 7 Habits Stuff!!, December 13, 2008

This review is from: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Marriage (Audio CD)

Try The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships (Audio Download). The real Marriage Expert is there! Not this 7 Habits audiobook.

This 7 Habits of Highly Effective Marriage audio is boring, and not well organized in terms of content--4 speakers, 4 kinds of jumping, chopping up of different, yet tried-to-be-linked up content.

Covey family is lacking of new stuff to say, imposing 7 Habits on too many walks of life. If you have read or listened to 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families, skip this, since a lot of overlapped content.

I love the audio version of this book. I have shared it with many friends. It should be mandatory reading for all engaged couples and all married couples. There are helpful hints and tips that any married person can use whether you are 18 years old or 80 years old.
