It Takes One to Tango: How I Rescued My Marriage with (Almost) No Help from My Spouse—and How You Can, Too

With a focus on self-empowerment and resilience, this refreshing and witty relationship guide has a reassuring counterintuitive message for unhappy spouses: you only need one partner to initiate far-reaching positive change in a marriage.

Conventional wisdom says that â€œit takes twoâ€ to turn a troubled marriage around and that both partners must have a shared commitment to change. So when couples canâ€™t agree on howâ€”or whetherâ€”to make their marriage better, many give up or settle for a less-than-satisfying marriage (or think the only way out is divorce).

Fortunately, there is an alternative.

It Takes One to Tango is a groundbreaking guide that shows how one determined partnerâ€”acting aloneâ€”can spark lasting, significant change in a marriage, often accomplishing change that cannot be made any other way. It doesnâ€™t matter how short-fused, argumentative, or seemingly impossible your partner can beâ€”or how long youâ€™ve been stuck.

Marriage and family therapist Winifred Reilly has this message for struggling partners: Take the lead. Doing so is effectiveâ€”and powerful. Through Reillyâ€™s own story of reclaiming her now nearly forty-year marriage, along with anecdotes from many clients sheâ€™s worked with, youâ€™ll learn how to:

-Focus on your own behaviors and change them in ways that make you feel good about yourself and your marriage
-Take a firm stand for what truly matters to you without arguing, cajoling, or resorting to threats
-Identify the â€œbig pictureâ€ issues at the basis of your repetitive fightsâ€”and learn how to unhook from them
-Be less reactive, especially in the face of your spouseâ€™s provocations
-Develop the strength and stamina to be the sole agent of change

Combining psychological theory, practical advice, and personal narrative, It Takes One to Tango is a fresh and engaging guide that will empower those who choose to take a bold, proactive approach to creating a loving and lasting marriage.
