Let's Stick Together: The relationship book for new parents

About the Book

Are you a new parent, or about to become one? Learn three simple habits that will keep love alive and protect your relationship against the pressures that parenting brings.

In the excitement and exhaustion of becoming parents, the first thing that can get overlooked is your relationship. You might spend less time together, argue over little things, drift apart.

In the UK, one in five children see their parents separate before the end of their first year at school. One in two children experience family breakdown before they finish school. But it doesn't have to be like this. Most family breakdown is avoidable.

In Let's Stick Together, relationship educator and father of six Harry Benson guides you through three simple habits that research shows make or break new mums and dads.

Illustrated with real-life examples from Harry's own back-from-the-brink marriage and those of other couples, Let's Stick Together highlights simple principles that will make your relationship the best it can be and ensure you don't become just another statistic.

We have no doubt this book will cause many more couples to `stick together’.” “By distilling research into bad and good habits we can all relate to, Harry Benson has done new parents a great service. A former helicopter pilot and combat veteran, he `gets’ how chaps think and act, and communicates couple dynamics with wit and unusual insight.” “How much great advice can you get into one little book? Quite a bit if you are Harry Benson. By following these straightforward ideas, you can make a real and lasting difference in your relationship – and at this critical time of becoming new parents. Act on these things and you will stick and not get stuck.” “A must-read book both for couples wanting to strengthen a good relationship and for couples wanting to transform a faltering one.” “Easy-to-understand, user-friendly, life-changing information… I wish there were a way to make this required reading for all couples, everywhere.” “Short, to the point, and bang on target. Finally, a book that focuses on the most important issue: how parents can look after their relationship and give children what they most need – secure and happy parents.” “All new parents should read this book. Its easy-to-follow, practical advice will help you build a great relationship together and give your children the best possible start in life.”
