Great Book

I'm a young male, i ordered this book the other day and its a amazing book, the layout is great, it also unlike many books has made me laugh. Great book for a men who's in a relationship, helps understand your partner better, but as a guy you really need to drop the male ego before picking up the book, to have a proper understanding of where the issues are coming from.

Wow!

I wish I would have bought this book ten years ago. I've been married nine years and I've never quite understood how to treat my wife right. This book has empowered me to create a beautiful relationship her. Very important information that is essential for any man who wants a happy marriage. As soon as my son is old enough I will encourage him to read this.

Explains alot about women.

I was looking for a book to give me tips or ideas on how to improve my relationship. I am a guy and I need a list and I have a goal. This book does that, but you do have to read a little too. It is an easy read though. It also explains why women are the way they are. Strange but true. Guys-why do girls need to know where I went, who I talked to, how was my day, why I didn't check in. They have to be spying on me, right? It is a hard concept to accept and I still am having a hard time with it but this book helps explain why. How many times have we heard "let's have more quality time"? Well I have given out more details about my day like the people who came in, some problems I had, solutions I found,... at dinner instead of "fine" or "ok" and this was accepted as quality time. Granted she wants more, but I can do the quality time and eat at the same time. The book explains the telephone phenomenon which why my conversations last under a minute and hers are why they have "unlimited nights and weekends". Last example, I went to my wife and told her that "I appreciated all her hard work in her planning of making sure the kids and myself were happy." this was in the morning and when I got back home at the end of the day she was beaming and had a great day and the nice comment I said had made her day. Wow, that was kind of easy to do, even though I felt like a dork saying it that morning. Only draw back of the book was that I felt like my side of the story was not told and felt overwhelmed that this is a 2way street and what about how to make me happy? Granted, its usually quite simple and obvious but none the less needed. Well I have ordered her other book about what secrets guys want girls to know and that will probably do a good job doing just that. It should be here today. Good luck.

IF THE SHOE FITS...

In reviewing this book, I was completely absorbed. I found myself chapter by chapter stating to my partner, "can you believe this?" not because the ideas were far-fetched, but because we had discussed the same thing two days earlier.One reviewer stated that would make me a "high-maintenance, overly emotional witch/princess" but my experience with the equivalent high-maintenance men suggests that they are interested in forming deeper emotional bonds in relationships, want intelligent, communicative partners and do not want to become machismo stereotypes drinking beer and belching in front of the television. Sometimes they are merely missing the tools this book provides. I am certainly going to recommend it to my patients and give it as a gift to many of my male friends who are struggling with their relationships. I want women to know that they CAN feel entitled to their feelings as well as their desire to be treated respectfully and compassionately. I would rather be a "high-maintenance, overly emotional witch/princess" than a forlorn, disgruntled doormat.

She's done it again!!

Barbara De Angelis has done it again! Her latest book is just what I have been waiting for. Finally, a book that I can not only read to better understand myself and what makes me respond the way I do, but also one that I can share with my husband to help our relationship! I always had such a hard time trying to express myself clearly or in a way that he could understand or other times I would react so strongly and later think to myself, "Why am I being this way? I am not usually so crazed." This book explains to me in an easy, straight forward way why I am the way I am, and I know once I pass it along to my husband, he will begin to further understand me too. I am already looking forward to the discussions we will have to bring us closer. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone!
