There are few times more miserable in life when the person who once made you feel best ab out yourself and your life, becomes the one who now makes you feel worst about both. Like it or not, human beings often learn more from what they do wrong than what they do right. What better vantage point to identify what goes wrong in a marriage and what can make it go right and how to prevent the mess in the first place than from a compassionate, plain-talking (vs. psychobabbling) matrimonial lawyer who has seen them all and who is honest enough to talk about his own personal shortcomings from his own marriage. Buy, read and re-read "Reconcilable Differences" so you never have to hire a lawyer like Mr. Cohen.

Written by a matrimonial lawyer, the seven customary problem areas given as justification for divorce: parallel lives; communication; sexual compatibility; money; infidelity; transitions; in-laws and family are all addressed as-- reconcilable, and he gives many specific examples of concrete action.
It might be useful to remember that when you need a matrimonial attorney or a so-called "therapist," you are at a difficult time of life when your ability to process a give and take discussion (and receive advice completely and accurately) may be far from optimal.
So, why not read what he has to say--on your own time ?

i read a clip of this book in a magazine and knew i had to have it....i live with my boyfriend ( we are in our mid 30's ) and i realize all the mistakes ive made in the past...i am confident that we will always work through out struggles...thanks a million...susan torres

I came across this book quite accidentally, but I was struck my the title. What could a matrimonial lawyer say that hasn't been published already?

A divorce attorney identifies the seven most common relationship problems--parallel lives, communication, sex, money, infidelity, transitions, and in-laws/family--and explains how to deal with each of them.

The book was in excellent condition when received and was shipped expediently. I haven't finished reading the book, therefore I cannot give a true review on the content, however I would purchase items from the seller again.

Everyone in New York knows that Cohen is a sleazeball attorney who would do anything for a buck. Even worse, he is a chronic liar and it shows in the book. As an example, he suggest consulting lawyers to prevent problems, when lawyers often generate the problems to generate fees. The notion that he is capable to dispensing advice to anyone about human relations is laughable. The book is a must do not read.
