Synopsis

Two kids. Two jobs. Too much? This timely book shows couples how to beat stress together. Two incomes, no sex. Does this sound like an accurate depiction of your marriage? Unfortunately, the same traits that make people successful at the office--being in control, staying competitive, and striving for perfection--can be disastrous to a relationship. Today's Supercouples are under tremendous pressure at work and at home, because they strive to be all things to all people at all times. In this timely book, psychologist Wayne Sotile and marriage counselor Mary Sotile show stressed-out couples how to recharge their relationship by using it as a haven from the demands of work and family. Whether one partner or both fit the super-achiever profile, Supercouple Syndrome offers new hope for nurturing a healthier, more balanced relationship. The authors describe an easy-to-follow stress management model--Beating Stress Together (BEST)--which they have used to help over 5,000 couples improve their relationships. Filled with lively stories, and easy-to-do exercises, this book provides a much-needed relational roadmap for today's stressed-out supercouples. Learn how to go from Stressed-out Supercouple to Dynamic Duo in six easy steps. Gives how-to coping tips gleaned from extensive counseling of over 5,000 couples.

Media Reviews
One holiday ad campaign for a home health manual prods: Give the Gift of Knowledge. But giving a gift of a good book about health, without side effects, is a tricky matter. Bookstore shelves right now are choked with new volumes touting unproven regimens witnessing the recent flap over a book declaring diet prevents breast cancer or blaming disease on a spiritual imbalance. Still, there's plenty worth reading to help you get fit, handle stress, avoid rug fads, negotiate with doctors and recover after illness. Tips on improving love lives come from SuperCouple Syndrome: How Overworked Couples Can Beat Stress Together (Wiley), by husband and wife therapists Wayne and Mary Sotile. Their intended audience: couples whose work stress and frequent-flier schedules have turned lovers into roommates. Despite an annoying pitch for the authors' videotapes and audiotapes, the book offers good ideas for balancing breadwinning and nesting needs. Active Wellness, (Time-Life Books) by Gayle Reichler, is a feel-good hand book for couch potatoes who want to get healthy but don't know how to start. The discussions of eating right and exercising, however, sometimes strays into sloganism. There's even a chapter beginning with a quote for the power of positive thinking guru Norman Vincent Peale. But at least it's not scolding.--Wall Street Journal
