DESCRIPTION
You hear and read a lot about ways to improve your relationship. But if you've tried these without much success, you're not alone. Many highly reactive couples—pairs that are quick to argue, anger, and blame—need more than just the run-of-the-mill relationship advice to solve their problems in love. When destructive emotions are at the heart of problems in your relationship, no amount of effective communication or intimacy building will fix what ails it. If you're part of a "high-conflict" couple, you need to get control of your emotions first, to stop making things worse, and only then work on building a better relationship.
The High-Conflict Couple adapts the powerful techniques of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into skills you can use to tame out-of-control emotions that flare up in your relationship. Using mindfulness and distress tolerance techniques, you'll learn how to deescalate angry situations before they have a chance to explode into destructive fights. Other approaches will help you disclose your fears, longings, and other vulnerabilities to your partner and validate his or her experiences in return. You'll discover ways to manage problems with negotiation, not conflict, and to find true acceptance and closeness with the person you love the most.

This is a good book, provides some interesting insights into the complexities of relationships, especially relationships with long histories, but becomes a little redundant by constantly reiterating the same ideas, sort of a repeat and retain approach. I guess the main theme(s) to take away from this book is embracing this idea of mindfulness, which is a fundamental component of DBT. Basically the idea goes like this: every relationship has flaws. Your partner is going to disappoint and frustrate you. You are going to feel under-appreciated. You are going to argue. Every individual in a relationship maintains some sort of ideal version of their partner, which slowly erodes as the relationship progresses and flaws begin to surface, a history develops, resentments build, etc. However, mindfulness essentially embraces this idea of flaws and promotes this idea of remaining in the present, finding ways to appreciate your partner, finding ways to validate, and developing an effective schema or frame that aids in remembering why you fell in love with that person and why you are still together. This is essentially achieved, as the book would have you believe, through constant open communication, not brooding on past difficulties, and essentially changing the way that you think about and view your partner. Instead of dwelling on negativity and inherent flaws, you look for all of the positive things that your partner does while embracing and accepting the realization that your relationship is not always going to be rosy and full of magic. There are a lot of exercises in the book that could be helpful and there are some different techniques that you can use to emphasize the positivity in your relationship, increase healthy communication, increase intimacy, and `reactivate' the relationship.
