Editorial Review: Product Description: Policing is a consuming profession with incredibly high elements of stress. Research suggests that police divorce rates are more than double the national average of ordinary marriages. The spouse's fear of physical danger, adjusting to shift work, transfers and changes in the officers' personality are only a few of the contributing factors, but the most crucial problem is the breakdown of communication within the relationship. From the beginning of the officers' careers they are trained to control their emotions, and thus are accused of being cold-hearted. Spouses agree that law enforcement officers grapple with the real-life horrors on the job and that the bitter belief that 'cops don't cry' is sadly untrue. Average Rating:

On the one hand, the author spares no punches in sharing the difficulties and challenges, which will surprise those who are new and comfort those who've been in relationships for a time. On the other hand, she offers sound advice on making it all work, taking care of yourself and, above all, keeping ... Read More Rating: - Very InsightfulThis book was very insightful. Though written from the Canadian Law Enforcement point of view the basic relationship barriers are still the same. I would recommend this to anyone involved with someone on the force.
