What People Are Saying…


What others are saying about StrengthenYourRelationship and Dr. Nicastro:

“I’ve been looking for quality relationship help for years and I finally found it at StrengthenYourRelationship.com. Whether you read Dr. Nicastro’s relationship articles or e-books, your relationship will change for the better.”

~~Natalie, Paradise Valley, Arizona

“It feels like my husband and I have tried all the marriage advice out there. But then we found Rich’s website. We’ve taken his relationship checkup and loved it and now we’re using his e-books. He’s given us great relationship tools that have made a real difference. Thanks for all your relationship advice, Rich!”

~~Cindy, Alamogordo, NM

“Of all the wedding gifts we received, the one I appreciate most was a gift certificate for relationship coaching (which I didn’t even know about before!). Rich was really easy to talk to, and he gave us all sorts of practical information that we started applying right away.”

~~Hannah R., San Diego, CA.

“I recommend Dr. Nicastro to any couple who wants to feel closer. Although my wife and I had a solid relationship, the fact that most of our friends had divorced over the years was unsettling. Perhaps we always had the potential for the type of closeness that emerged after our work with Dr. Nicastro, but he helped us recognize that potential and make it our reality. “

~~Benjamin T., West Hartford, CT

“We really needed marriage help. Over a period of a couple of months Rich coached us on how to communicate effectively, and now, despite our differences, my partner and I are getting along so much better. It was a pleasure working with Rich. If we run into any problems in the future, we know who to call!”

~~ Kendra, Atlanta

“Richard Nicasto is clearly in tune with what relationships need to thrive. His writing demonstrates superior knowledge of relationship dynamics and what couples really need from each other to stay connected.”

~~ Lisa Brookes Kift, MFT


What others are saying about the ABCs of Effective Communication Workbook:

“We decided to try Dr. Nicastro’s e-book because of his experience working with couples. We read his articles and really like what he has to say. After we both read the ABCs of Effective Communication, me and Julie made the decision to do our favorite exercises for a minimum of two months and within only a few weeks it’s really made a difference in our relationship. And when we slip up or get too busy to practice, we jokingly say to each other: ‘Remember your communication ABCs!”

~~Sebastian and Julie, Corrales, NM

“The ABCs of Effective Communication is so practical that you can’t help using what you learn. Do yourself and your relationship a favor and read Dr. Nicastro’s workbooks!”

~~ Valerie T., Social Worker, London

“I’ve read so many relationship books, but a big part of the problem is that I forget to remember what I’ve read. The ABCs of Effective Communication makes the communication skills we need easy to remember. Each letter in the ABCs stands for an essential communication skill. I couldn’t forget even if I wanted to! My partner and I joke and remind each other of the skills by shouting what each letter stands for…”

~~Ginny and Frank, Los Angeles, celebrating their twentieth wedding anniversary

“Thanks, Rich! The ABCs of Effective Communication is really helping our marriage. I love the way you break down the essential communication skills into an easy to remember formula. Now my husband doesn’t have the excuse that he ‘forgot.’ It’s really making a difference…Thanks again!”

~~Rosalie, Englewood CO


What others are saying about the Turbo-Charged Communication Program:

“My husband and I have taken Rich’s Communication Boot Camp twice—we enjoyed it so much the first time we went back for seconds! He makes the information accessible and easy to understand. It’s been so valuable in our marriage…we love Rich’s thoughtful style, and his enthusiasm is contagious!”

~~ Wendy F., Toronto

“The ABCs of Effective Communication is so practical that you can’t help using what you learn. Do yourself and your relationship a favor and read Dr. Nicastro’s workbooks!”

~~Valerie T., Social Worker, London

“Thanks, Rich! The ABCs of Effective Communication is really helping our marriage. I love the way you break down the communication skills into an easy to remember formula. Now my husband doesn’t have the excuse that he ‘forgot.’ It’s really making a difference…Thanks again!”

~~Rosalie, Englewood CO


What others are saying about the Passion, Sex & Intimacy Workbook:

“Would I describe my marriage as a ‘passionate marriage’? Six months ago I would have had to answer ‘no.’ But after my husband and I practiced the exercises in Sex, Passion and Intimacy, I can answer with confidence, ‘definitely.’”

~~Bonnie, Albuquerque, New Mexico

“I really enjoyed reading this workbook and doing the exercises. It gave me practical advice on how to improve physical and emotional intimacy, but this workbook does more than offer suggestions. It helped me to connect with some pretty deep-seated feelings that I was struggling with. I didn’t realize how my feelings were preventing me and my husband from connecting. It’s been a real eye opener!”

~~Loni, Bangor, Maine

“I felt trapped. I love my husband but our relationship was getting so dull. We needed relationship help and found Dr. Nicastro’s workbook. Now I know there are different options for us that can help our relationship…It’s really been fun using this workbook. I guess turning a sexless marriage into a relationship that’s sexually exciting has to be fun!”

~~Pauline, Johannesburg


What others are saying about the Art of Forgiveness Workbook:

“John and I had tried so many things to improve our marriage, but something always seemed to get in our way. We know how to communicate, but what became clear is that we didn’t know how to ask for forgiveness or forgive each other for the little things that started adding up. The Art of Forgiveness really opened our eyes. As Rich taught us, you need to create an ‘atmosphere of forgiveness’ if you want your relationship to run smoothly.”

~~Irene, married to John for thirty-one years.

“My husband and I worked with Dr. Nicastro in the past and it became obvious that I was struggling with issues around forgiveness—in my marriage and other relationships. I wouldn’t say I’m an unforgiving person, but I just didn’t realize how important the need for forgiveness really is. I also needed to work on self-acceptance and that helped me feel more forgiving with others overall…”

~~Maria, discussing her second marriage of five years.

“The idea that a ‘forgiveness mindset’ should be a regular part of our relationship never occurred to me and my partner. It just makes so much sense after reading Dr. Nicastro’s forgiveness workbook. This might sound corny, but I feel emotionally lighter. I didn’t realize that you could learn how to be more forgiving or that forgiveness was relevant to my relationship…”

~~Andy, Los Angeles


What other couples are saying  about the Marriage/Relationship Checkup:


“After completing Rich’s relationship check-up, my husband and I have a better sense of our relationship strengths, as well as areas we need to work on. The whole process was straightforward and easy, and it made so much sense. Thanks, Rich!”

~~Suzanne L. from Las Cruces, NM:

“I now feel like I have a way to take the temperature of my marriage whenever I need to. It has really helped give me a big picture of how we’re doing and what we need to look out for.”

~~Cindy from El Paso, Texas:

“Rich’s relationship checkup gave me and my wife a way to talk about what’s going on in our marriage. Now we’re able to focus on the specific areas of our relationship that need our attention, rather than feeling totally overwhelmed.”

~~Gary S. from New Orleans, Louisiana:

“With the information in the Relationship Checkup, I now have a guide that has allowed me and my partner to examine the major areas of our relationship. After taking Dr. Nicastro’s checkup, I can say that anyone who is serious about their relationship should be doing this.”

~~Alyssa T. from Montréal Canada:

“My husband and I have taken the Rich’s Checkup more than once and we’re always surprised by the new information we discover about each other. What I really love is that each time we finish the Relationship Checkup, we end up having really important discussions that wouldn’t have happened otherwise. Our marriage is definitely stronger because of it…”

~~Alyssa and Scott, Albuquerque, New Mexico
