Brancato keeps the material clearly organized and accessible throughout, as he guides readers through understanding life priorities, taking the TDS, interpreting its results, and turning those results into actionable goals. Each chapter is packed with practical advice, real-life examples, and reflection prompts that will assist couples as they navigate the challenges unique to their relationship. The sheer abundance of practical tools Brancato offers will keep readers focused on the conversations that count, reducing misunderstandings and fostering a “collaborative mindset.” He reminds readers that alignment does not equal “agreeing on everything” and urges them to put in the work necessary to improve their more vulnerable areas: “Even small shifts in alignment… can have a profound impact on your relationship,” he writes.
Prioritize Us is not just about identifying misalignments but also about appreciating strengths and building on shared values. Brancato encourages couples to create rituals and habits that reinforce their connection and reminds them to “celebrate small wins along the way.” The book's practical worksheets and templates make it easy to apply the concepts and track progress, and Brancato’s insightful, actionable approach transforms this into a valuable resource for couples seeking to deepen their connection and build a relationship that reflects their true values.
Takeaway: User-friendly tools for couples seeking a deeper connection.
