by Patricia Love and Steven Stosny
Broadway Books, 2007. 224 pgs. Nonfiction
This book argues that talking about a relationship will not bring a couple closer together, but could actually push them apart. Love is not about better communication, it is about connection. The worst thing a woman can do to a man is shame him and the worst thing a man can do to a woman is leave her alone. Once we understand that, we can interact differently. There are many stories and examples and practical tips on how to make a meaningful connection.
This book was very insightful. I recognized many truths of human nature and relationships. I highly recommend this book to anyone, whether you are in a good relationship, a relationship that could use some help or not in a relationship at all. There are truths that can be applied to all relationships, not just in marriage. I really appreciated that it talked about understanding yourself and things you can do to improve your relationship and also the importance of understanding and protecting each other's vulnerabilities. I listened to this book on Overdrive but decided to check out the book so that I could reread some of the sections and do the evaluations. I plan on reading this again!
