Negative Positive
Title: Sound and practical
Review: Dobson's premise of tough love, which essentially means defining and maintaining the line of respect around yourself, seems sound and practical. Applying it avoids the drawn-out, torturous emotions that go with living in a decaying relationship. Dobson makes the seemingly radical recommendation that people facing infidelity or other marital crisis of similar proportions precipitate a crisis to bring the situation to a boil. Dobson's point is that that boil will very often restore the relationship. Precipitating the crisis shows your mettle, which commands respect and even admiration.
