The Pinch Poınt

by Dr. Stan Archie and Contributing Editor: Olivia Davenport

About The Book

Discover the Real Root of Conflict—and How to Resolve It Before It Breaks You Apart

The Pinch Point is not just a book about conflict; it’s a guide to understanding the deeper expectations, assumptions, and emotional patterns that fuel the tension in our closest relationships. Written with couples and families in mind, this book explores how everyday misunderstandings—left unspoken or unresolved—can slowly erode trust and connection. Dr. Stan Archie draws on decades of experience as a therapist, pastor, and behavioral specialist to walk readers through a clear, practical framework for identifying where things go wrong—and how to set them right.

Whether you're navigating marriage, parenting, extended family, or church relationships, The Pinch Point offers actionable strategies for recognizing “the pinch” before it turns into a rupture. With relatable insights, real-life examples, and biblically grounded wisdom, this book empowers readers to communicate better, repair trust, and create stronger, more resilient relationships.

If you've ever asked, “How did we get here?” or felt like small issues suddenly became major explosions, this book is for you. It's time to stop mopping up the water and start fixing the leak.
