From Fizzle to Sizzle: 4 Crucial Tools for Relationship Repair
What Is Your Relationship Story?
The story we usually share about relationships is the one about how great, wonderful, loving and supportive the relationship is. The truth is that all relationships go through a period where they fizzle: the romance is gone, the communication is non-existent and you feel lost, stuck, overwhelmed, depressed and distant from your partner, you can’t communicate with your boss, you feel like you don’t know your own kids and you are not even sure you know yourself.
Dr. Minette Riordan and Dr. Caron Goode have co-authored a phenomenal book that gets to the heart of your relationship challenges quickly. They present 4 crucial tools in From Fizzle to Sizzle that will dramatically improve all of your relationships. Even implementing just one of the 4 tools will have an immediate, positive impact on your relationships.
“The ability to build and maintain positive, healthy and productive relationships is essential in every area of life. From Fizzle to Sizzle provides proven skills and relevant examples to help you have some ‘ah-ha!’ moments. The result? More fulfillment. More love. More connection. A must-read for anyone who is feeling the stress and burden of a relationship that has fizzled!” – Mindy Audlin, CEO of Network on Purpose and author of What if It All Goes Right?

This is not for someone hoping to get a quick tip and a quick fix. But you know you need more than that to make a relationship succeed over the long haul. For those who want to do it themselves, or enhance their work with a coach or therapist, this step-by-step guide gives you exactly what you need to work on your personal challenges. As the authors note - you can't fix your partner, but fixing one person in a relationship can make a huge difference. In my experience, this is very true. One person does the work - all around them benefit.
The title lets you know that this work can still be fun. Yet, you will have to put in the effort, working thru each exercise to get true value from this book. There are clear action points in each chapter - ones that take time to work through. At each step, you have the opportunity to see clear wins which helps you take the next step. Because these concepts may be new to some, the authors take pains to give examples, personal and from their clients, to highlight each point. The stories are well-told and easy to relate to. The book includes the exercises and places to work them - suggestion - use clean paper, in case you want to share it with your partner or friends.
This is a powerful guide to self-exploration and the results can be used with every relationship in your life - romantic, friends and work.
Take the time to really mine the value of this book. You'll see results.
