About this listen
An invaluable resource for couples in which one of the partners suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), this authoritative book guides troubled marriages toward an understanding of and appreciation for the struggles and triumphs of a relationship affected by it and to look at the disorder in a more positive and less disruptive way. Going beyond traditional marriage counseling, this discussion offers advice from the author's personal experience and years of research and identifies patterns of behavior that can hurt marriages - such as nagging, intimacy problems, sudden anger, and memory issues - through the use of vignettes and descriptions of actual couples and their ADHD struggles and solutions. This resource encourages both spouses to become active partners in improving their relationship and healing the fissures that ADHD can cause.

Gamechanger! I suggested to my partner who was already open to learning more and he couldn't believe what he was hearing. It was a great way to open up the communication to the effects on our relationship. The book described so much of what I was feeling but was challenged in articulating without eliciting a negative reaction. Knowing he loved me, but so many contradictions it was beyond confusing. We are now both understanding each other and loving each other more. Grateful for the audible version, helped expedite the process.
