New Book Reveals Relationship “Blind Spot” and Innovative Conflict Resolution Approach

ATLANTA - Oct. 29, 2013 - PRLog -- In his informative and entertaining new nonfiction book, “Curiosity Killed The Spat: The Melfox Method for Relationship Health Through Effective Conflict Resolution” (published by Grumpy Gills Publishing), Joseph Jay Mellon explores the mysterious, often resentment-laden world of relationships with the fundamental problem-solving techniques of an engineer.

In a time when at least 50 percent of marriages end in divorce, the grim reality of failed and failing relationships can feel inevitable. Conflicts and resentment are tearing apart more couples than ever–or, worse yet, keeping them unhappily trapped together for the sake of the kids, finances, or personal beliefs. Desperate wives, husbands, and significant others turn to relationship self-help books to try and salvage their partnerships, but these books largely focus on dealing with the fights and hurt feelings that arise, rather than getting to the true root of the matter. This results in simply masking the symptoms of an unhealthy relationship, rather than healing the wounds from the inside out.

Through this 330-page book, Mellon hopes to change all that. With an innovative, proactive five-part program called The Melfox Method, any couple can reap the many benefits of improved intimacy, trust, and communication.

Environment: In this section, you learn about the universal nemesis of healthy relationships, and how weeding it out begins with you and your partner staying on the same side.

Information: Understanding your partner is imperative when it comes to conflict resolution. Through challenging and clarifying what your partner says, you will have the information you need to resolve any conflicts that may arise.

Egoity: This is the relationship “blind spot.” What are you really protecting when you are feeling vulnerable? These defensive reactions are a normal and natural warning system that, when understood and controlled, can be used to pinpoint the root of the conflict to be resolved.

Interaction: It’s time to put your lessons to work. Discover how you and your partner can combine Information and Egoity into successful, conflict-busting sessions.

Outcome: Glimpse the fruits of your labor. Learn about the expected results and diverse benefits you can enjoy from understanding and practicing The Melfox Method.

Joseph Jay Mellon has been preparing his entire life to write this comprehensive relationship guide. With a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering, he is a trained problem solver with professional experience as an industrial engineer, accountant, and systems manager. As a plaque on his wall says, an engineer’s responsibility is to “list the questions, gather the facts, and solve the problems”–an approach that applies strongly to his take on personal relationships.

He is also a Certified Marriage Educator (CME) through the National Marriage Centers, in association with the National Premarital Institute. Through organizations like these, he has conducted countless interactive lectures about conflict resolution and relationships and has applied much of that knowledge to the Melfox Method, as well.

“Great read to open your mind about the stumbling blocks that can trip you up on the 'relationship road' and how to clear them out of the way. I liked the way the book is so easy to understand and so easy to read and spiked with a lot of real life situations and examples we can all identify with. It's an approach that strikes me as common sense as I am reading, but at the same time quite novel and not something I have come across in any other literature.”  -Amazon.com review
