Excellent resource:
I happened upon this book by chance. I've spent countless hours learning from a variety of marriage and relationship books, over the years, and I can sincerely say this is a truly excellent resource. I've also spent many hours in professional counseling and am thus familiar with some of the methods used for conflict management and communication. I refer to this book as "counseling" and am confident a motivated couple could easily save a trip to the counselor by utilizing the tools given in this book.

Learn to Handle Difficult Issues in Your Marriage:
Fighting for Your Marriage helps couples "learn to fight right". It teaches skills for discussing difficult issues safely and clearly and using ground rules to contain destructive arguments. It also includes tips for enhancing the relationship with fun, friendship, commitment, spirituality and intimacy.
I know when I shy away from an issue, it later becomes even more of a problem since it was allowed to ferment. Not knowing how to discuss difficult issues makes them worse.
