Don’t just improve your marriage. Transform it!
Marriage Coach Daniel Tocchini shows how to
break barriers and remove ruts in marriage
Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX—Us, a new book by Daniel Tocchini, isn’t about improving marriages. It’s about transforming them. Drawing on personal experience and stories from couples he has coached, Tocchini offers practical guidance to move couples beyond communication tricks and gimmicks to help them truly understand “Us” for the first time—talking honestly, listening generously, tackling tricky issues, breaking out of ruts, and abandoning self-centered “consumer thinking.” The good news, according to Tocchini, is that personalities don’t need to change in order for marriage to work. What needs to change is how we view ourselves, our spouses, and our marriages.
Innovative, insightful and thoroughly biblical, Tocchini’s approach has helped thousands in his popular seminars. Whether a marriage is in deep trouble or just coasting along, it’s time for Christian couples to read the User’s Guide that God intended.
In this intensely practical, innovative guide, marriage coach Daniel Tocchini invites you to open your marriage to transformation by learning to:
- Expect less—and infinitely more—of your life partner and yourself
- Actually talk to each other instead of making assumptions (and accusations)
- Break free of those recurring, unresolved arguments
- Manage the impact of difficult (but necessary) conversations on your relationship
- Defuse conflict without sweeping it under a rug
- Open the broken places in your marriage (the ones you hesitate even to talk about) to God’s kind of reconciliation
Tocchini explains, “This is a transformational approach to breaking through the barriers and getting out of the ruts in our marriage by paying attention to our conversation—what we are thinking, our motivation for thinking it, and the impact it has on our spouse.”
Daniel L. Tocchini has worked with more than 5,000 couples through personal marriage coaching and the unique and life-changing marriage seminars offered through his organization, the Association for Christian Character Development. An ordained minister, chaplain, author, and highly successful speaker/coach, he lives with his family in California.

Everything in a successful and happy life during our human experience is about building relationships. Whether it is a marriage, your family, the workplace, or within your community, the more energy we put into listening, understanding, and respecting each other, then the more successful those relationships will be.
