BOOK REVIEWS

David Aretha, award-winning author

"I've been married for 28 years and thought I knew everything about relationships. While reading STRONG, I realized how wrong I was!
 
Yes, I knew the basics—the need for communication and treating your partner with respect and daily kindness—but the author helps us understand relationships on a granular level and offers myriad strategies for improvement. Did you ever think you 'knew' football but then listened to an NFL coach break down the Xs and Os and you realized how much you didn't know?
 
This book is kind of like that. It's also a fun and easy read."
