Download or read book How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It written by Patricia Love, Ed.D. and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men are right. The “relationship talk” does not help. Dr. Patricia Love’s and Dr. Steven Stosny’s How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It reveals the stunning truth about marital happiness: Love is not about better communication. It's about connection. You'll never get a closer relationship with your man by talking to him like you talk to one of your girlfriends. Male emotions are like women's sexuality: you can't be too direct too quickly. There are four ways to connect with a man:touch, activity, sex, routines. Men want closer marriages just as much as women do,but not if they has to act like a woman. Talking makes women move closer; it makes men move away. The secret of the silent male is this: his wife supplies the meaning in his life. The stunning truth about love is that talking doesn’t help. Have you ever had this conversation with your spouse? Wife: “Honey, we need to talk about us.” Husband: “Do we have to?” Drs. Patricia Love and Steven Stosny have studied this all-too-familiar dynamic between men and women and have reached a truly shocking conclusion. Even with the best of intentions, talking about your relationship doesn’t bring you together, and it will eventually drive you apart. The reason for this is that underneath most couples’ fights, there is a biological difference at work. A woman’s vulnerability to fear and anxiety makes her draw closer, while a man’s subtle sensitivity to shame makes him pull away in response. This is why so many married couples fall into the archetypal roles of nagging wife/stonewalling husband, and why improving a marriage can’t happen through words. How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It teaches couples how to get closer in ways that don’t require “trying to turn a man into a woman.” Rich in stories of couples who have turned their marriages around, and full of practical advice about the behaviors that make and break marriages, this essential guide will help couples find love beyond words.

Download or read book Ten Lessons to Transform Your Marriage written by John Gottman, PhD and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2007-06-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ten Lessons to Transform Your Marriage, marital psychologists John and Julie Gottman provide vital tools—scientifically based and empirically verified—that you can use to regain affection and romance lost through years of ineffective communication. In 1994, Dr. John Gottman and his colleagues at the University of Washington made a startling announcement: Through scientific observation and mathematical analysis, they could predict—with more than 90 percent accuracy—whether a marriage would succeed or fail. The only thing they did not yet know was how to turn a failing marriage into a successful one, so Gottman teamed up with his clinical psychologist wife, Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, to develop intervention methods. Now the Gottmans, together with the Love Lab research facility, have put these ideas into practice. What emerged from the Gottmans’ collaboration and decades of research is a body of advice that’s based on two surprisingly simple truths: Happily married couples behave like good friends, and they handle their conflicts in gentle, positive ways. The authors offer an intimate look at ten couples who have learned to work through potentially destructive problems—extramarital affairs, workaholism, parenthood adjustments, serious illnesses, lack of intimacy—and examine what they’ve done to improve communication and get their marriages back on track. Hundreds of thousands have seen their relationships improve thanks to the Gottmans’ work. Whether you want to make a strong relationship more fulfilling or rescue one that’s headed for disaster, Ten Lessons to Transform Your Marriage is essential reading.

Download or read book 10 Darn Easy Marriage Tips written by Jasmine Hart and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains easy tips and lessons for the modern-day married couple. It seeks to strengthen your marriage by making each partner a better person for the other, and eventually, making the relationship, as a whole, stronger for it. Marriage is work. Many people go into it thinking it won't be, but the fact is that it is hard work, and probably some of the hardest work that you will ever do in your life. It is definitely well worth it though. One of the beauties of life, is to live in harmony with the one you love. Having a successful marriage isn't just about marrying the right person. In fact, the idea that you luck into marrying the "right" person that will never be hard to be with is ludicrous. The idea presented in this book is that it isn't necessarily about the "right" person; it's about making yourself the right people for each other and how you can learn to compromise and sacrifice to make both your lives happier. This doesn't mean you should change everything about yourself for your partner, but you should be open to change some things. As well as learning how to work on yourself as an individual human being, to rejuvenate and fulfil your aspirations, this book also shows you how this can make you a better spouse to be with. A successful marriage is between two individuals who have mutual goals for their life. We do not ask that you change your lifetime goals for someone, merely that you both change to make yourselves better people and adults who are able to work together as a team. Your marriage should be about supporting each other through even the worst times in life and growing stronger as people and as a couple because of it.10 Darn Easy Marriage Lessons distils this notion into ten, easy-to-read chapters with a new guideline in each. Chapters included are;1. Communication2. Respect and Love3. Quality Time4. Trust5. Laughter6. Learning from Past Mistakes7. Effort8. Forgiveness9. Self-Rejuvenation10. Being NiceEvery chapter should be thought of as a guiding concept for your marriage. They are simple to implement and often the simplest things are overlooked. They contain fantastic daily examples of how you can implement those concepts into your marriage. With all of these ideas put together, you should be better prepared for those times when you feel like you were crazy to marry this person. One thing that is commonly glossed over about marriage is that it is a real commitment - once married, it is significantly more difficult for you to separate from someone than just simply leaving.Recognizing marriage as a commitment and an effort is the first step. With this book, you'll be able to turn your marriage into something that you enjoy every day, not just on the days when you feel most in love. You will also realise that the beauty of being married, lies in the fact that you are growing into a couple who are in love with each others souls. Also, that you are growing together to make yourselves better human beings.
