"This book has changed my life! It was a very emotional read for me, I read so many examples of relationship communication problems I had throughout my life. I closed up or withdrew when relationship problems surfaced. I was afraid to talk and held everything inside. The book explains communication difficulties, it tells you how to effectively work through them and also how to prevent it from happening in the future. The book relates to any relationship you're in, whether you're married or dating. I wish I found this book years ago, I didn't seek help until it was too late. I recently dated someone for a little over two years, we broke up once and got back together, but we had the same problems, poor communication. If I knew about this book sooner, I know my outcome would have changed! Don't make the same mistake I did and think it'll get better, read this book now to become a better person and learn how to effectively communicate with your mate."

- My boyfriend and I both bought this book to get over some pitfalls in our relationship. And our communication has improved dramatically. The book is clear, concise and very practical without "dumbing down" the information which is a style that works well for us.
Very rational information compiled through many years of research. We both have been loving it and feel more secure that we can tackle difficult subjects withouth hurting each others feeling. It advises what YOU can change to improve (communication-wise), instead of what the other party needs to change, but since we're both changing techniques of communication and not ourselves or our personality we both feel greatly rewarded in the immediate results.
Works best if both are applying the techniques but even if just one party changes something, it will help you realize what typical communication mistakes and "deactivate" potential fights or negative exchanges. - This book uses some pretty dated references but the core information is excellent. I am about halfway through and find that the insight is (obviously) applicable to your partnership but I think it could also provide insight into other close relationships-- particularly the idea of "banking".
I also think that if you are struggling with a partner who isn't exactly meeting you half-way with relationship improvement attempts, you can still benefit from being the sole reader of the book.
A side note This book is hetero-centric, meaning all the couples used as models are male/female. That being said, the information is excellent and the lack of same-sex modeling (while failing to holistically represent all couplings) does not necessarily negate the value of the information. I would recommend this book to same-sex partners. - No we can’t. We got divorced 😂
- When my wife walked out on me I wondered if I had anything to do with the troubles we were having. This book helped me with my side of the communication. The arguments stopped immediately after I read this book which indicates I was at least part of the problem. I highly recommend this book and two others--"The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work" by John M. Gottman and "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman.
[...] - This book has changed my life! It was a very emotional read for me, I read so many examples of relationship communication problems I had throughout my life. I closed up or withdrew when relationship problems surfaced. I was afraid to talk and held everything inside. The book explains communication difficulties, it tells you how to effectively work through them and also how to prevent it from happening in the future. The book relates to any relationship you're in, whether you're married or dating. I wish I found this book years ago, I didn't seek help until it was too late.

Don't make the same mistake I did and think it'll get better, read this book now to become a better person and learn how to effectively communicate with your mate.
- This book has shown me much needed tools on how to be patient and loving to my wife. I'm still a work in progress, but this book is teaching me to take responsibility for my role in our relationship! My only complaint is that I will need to read it several times before I really understand all of the strategies presented. That's not the author's fault though, that's just me.
- We've only managed to make it half way through We Can Work It Out, but it is very dated and hasn't had much to offer us. We were looking for some deep and unexpected ideas about how to communicate and support each other more effectively in a relationship, or a really insightful analysis of inter-relationship communication and conflict solving, but didn't find that here.
We Can Work It Out is rudimentary and simple in its insights and kind of "lowest common denominator" in style. I don't doubt it can be helpful for some people, but it depends on what level you are at already in building your relationship skills. This book would be helpful to people whose relationships are extremely dysfunctional, who need a "Communicating With My Partner 101" type of course. I wish I could go back in time and give it to my Grandparents in the 1940s.
Even at that, I have reservations about the content and conclusions in the book; it's very 1990s pop-psych in style and substance. I still plan to at least skim the rest of it eventually and will update this review if I discover something unexpected in the second half. - Knowledge is key. Learn about each other and read book together. Communicate
