A Happy Marriage, it's all about giving up control

Marriages begin to deteriorate when they fail to appreciate how damaging trying to contol each other becomes. And when they turn that deadly corner past the point of no return toward divorce, it's all about control. Ironically--and sadly-- each spouse does not see themselves as controlling, but merely defending themselves against their partner who they perceive is trying to control them. If this dynamic speaks to you and you're heading towards the end, you'll want to read this terrific, book by prominent Los Angeles family attorney, Stacy D. Phillips. Despite the title, this book can also help you save your marriage and prevent divorce if you will take Ms. Phillips wise counsel to heart and apply it to your relationship.

What a great book!

I am happily married, but because I have a few friends going through divorce I thought I would pick up a copy of Divorce: It's All About Control for my friends: one who is having an especially hard time. As I glanced through the pages, I found I couldn't put it down. I think it's a good book for people who are going through a divorce, but I think anyone who is married should read it. I sure did, every page! This book might help married couples avoid a divorce! What a great book. I loved the cartoons and sure liked the way Ms. Phillips explained things. She makes it easy to understand what happens and why people are so combative during a divorce.

Must read for divorcing people

As the publisher of Divorce Magazine a lot of books about divorce come across my desk and this is one of the best I've seen. Stacy provides honest, straight forward advice from a very experienced and competent lawyers point of view. I highly recommend it. Dan Couvrette

Where was "Divorce: It's All About Control" years ago??

I so enjoyed every page of Ms. Phillips' fine book! Having gone through more than one divorce, I would have been thrilled to have had this insightful book beside me through such difficult times. I really appreciate the way Ms. Phillips speaks directly and candidly to the reader. Everything she says is easy to understand and extremely enlightening. I love the pop quizzes. I also love the "scenes"(I saw myself in more than one!). I have already recommended this book to several people. No one should even think about a divorce until they have this helpful guide. What strikes me most about this book is Phillips' wonderful sense of balance between imparting knowledge, lifting the reader's spirits and offering up perfect helpings of humor.

Not just for people getting divorced

This book is a thoughtful guide to dealing not only with divorce, but with many of life's battles. When you read the descriptions of the various personality types, you will recognize yourself, your friends, your family, and your professionals. The book will help you step back from your emotions and deal with issues in a constructive manner. And, while you are being helped, you will also be entertained - thoroughly! The cartoons are a hoot!
