Manage relationship stress during the construction process. Use this fun, quick, and easy guide to help you resolve conflicts and negotiate unified decisions.

"This is one of those rare and inspired books that make the daunting undertaking of a couple building a home together without demolishing their relationship seem really do-able. Poignant, easy-to-read and accessible, the Massanaris glean from their experiences of over 25 years as psychotherapists as well as thriving survivors of designing and building their own home.

They offer helpful insights, practical exercised and alternative approaches to avoid the pitfalls of what is often described at best as a 'tolerable, but we'll never do this again' and at worst, 'sure we have a new house, but our relationship is in rubbles' endeavor. This is a must-read for all couples who even have a glint in their eye for building a home together."
