The Last Straw : Ways to Overcome the Stumbling Blocks in Communication Towards a Stronger and Happier Marriage 

by Fr. Michael Ryan

The Last Straw is a tool to help prevent and, if need be, heal a problem that frequently threatens the happiness of marriages and families: misunderstandings. Problems within marriage seldom come from the ill will of the people involved but from misunderstandings that cause a crisis in the marriage. Examining the dynamics of communication and the situations that produce misunderstandings with simple, concrete, real-life examples, this book offers helpful tips on how to avoid letting conflicts escalate until they get to " the last straw" - and tips on how to develop a loving rapport capable of resolving the unavoidable moments of conflict.
