Summary: Essential book for stepcouples and professionals!
Comment: Although there are many outstanding books on stepparenting, this is the first book that focuses exclusively on stepcouples. With the use of excellent case examples, the authors present sound advice and strategies for dealing with the innumerable, difficult issues faced by these couples. While this is clearly a "remarriage manual", it is more useful than most because it integrates theory in a quite readable, understandable way. For example, family of origin theory is used to demonstrate how unresolved, early life issues can further complicate stepcoupling relationships. I strongly recommend this book to those who are contemplating or currently in stepcoupling relationships, as well as counselors and therapists who see these couples in their practice.

Summary: Practical Advice for Building a Blended Family Marriage
Comment: In "Stepcoupling: Creating and Sustaining a Strong Marriage in Today's Blended Family," Susan Wisdom and Jennifer Green focus on strengthening the bond between spouses after the newlywed reverie has worn off and they wake up after the honeymoon to find themselves in a stepfamily. They encourage newly-married couples to focus on their relationship and carve out couple time. They also urge couples to draw boundaries and find one-on-one time to spend with the kids. Real stepfamily situations are considered and discussed by the authors and provide practical advice to thorny situations. Unlike a lot of self-help books, the authors realize that one standard answer doesn't always work in every situation and they recommend a variety of options for some situations. Questions guide the reader to ponder his/her own situation but without forcing you to stop turning pages for too long.

Summary: Hopeful, yet realistic!
Comment: If you want Dr.Phil, feel-good sound bites, look elsewhere. But if you are serious about wanting to have a successful step-family, this book offers both a realistic and hopeful guide for creating a strong step couple relationship. The core premise bucks the trend of all those step-parenting manuals by persuasively arguing that the step COUPLE is the real key to creating a step family that works. The chapters are peppered with anecdotes from real step-couples, and Wisdom's combination of clinical expertise and first-hand experience comes through - a hopeful, yet honest and realistic guide to surviving and even thriving amidst the challenges of the step family.
