When Dr. Farrell began teaching couples communication thirty years ago, he taught the wisdom of not being defensive in response to criticism. However, when a couple returned home and criticism inevitably appeared, that wisdom disappeared. Couples needed to not just be taught this, but to practice both in the workshop and at home. With the help of decades of post-workshop feedback from real couples, Farrell perfected six mindsets that the couples found most effective to embrace criticism as an opportunity to feel more deeply loved—even while they are being criticized.

In Fierce Love, Susan Scott guides couples through conversations that lead to deep connection and lasting commitment.
