 DVD  Solutions: A Word to the Wise  Dr. John Townsend  There's no perfect relationship. Nevertheless, people who have successful relationships have some things in common: one is that they have the knack of seeing little problems and heading them off before they become big problems. Ignoring problems or pretending they don't exist is not a wise approach. If you see signs of pending trouble and are concerned, it is better to face the problem head on. Evaluating a situation is not always a simple matter, though. Besides offering a "word to the wise" about not ignoring those little warning signs, Solutions will give you an objective way of evaluating these signs.  Y

Keeping up this image is a lot of work -- and is that truly what women want in a man? Join us to have some fun "unmasking" the guy women really admire and desire.  Y
 DVD  Solutions: The Behavior Trap  Dr. Henry Cloud  Have you reached the point in a relationship where you decided, "I'm just going to go through the motions, even though my heart isn't in it"? You were acting on the belief that having positive behaviors on the outside will change us on the inside. This doesn't work. Our actions do not give rise to our inner feelings--it's the other way around! The problem with this myth is that those unloving feelings are a signal that something's not right. This program can help you escape this trap and find a better solution.  Y
