The Verbally Abusive Relationship
by Patricia Evans
publisher: Adams
ISBN: 1-55850-582-2
It was one of the most informative books I've ever read. When I
told my wife about the book and how it highlighted what she may
have felt, that it really moved my heart. I personally think it
was one of the elements that started us on a better path.
In summation, this book clarifies the various types of verbal abuse
and the devastating effect it can have on anyone. I found the book
to be interesting to read and it seemed like it was easy to understand
and correlate to.
The real value to me in reading this book was to gain a much better
understanding of what a wife, or spouse can feel by being the victim
of verbal abuse. I have heard many men say that they never hit their
wife, or had an affair, and that they simply did not understand
what yelling was doing to the relationship. I’m certainly
not a professional book reviewer, but feel this book will open one’s
eyes to the damage of a verbally abusive relationship. I hope you
enjoy it! (Gary M.) |

His Needs, Her Needs: Building an Affair-Proof
Marriage
Willard F. Harley Jr.
"What a challenge! Marriages were breaking up at an unprecedented
rate, and no one knew how to stop it. So I made it my own personal
ambition to find the answer."-from the new preface
Dr. Harley admits that he wasn't always the successful marriage
counselor he is today. In fact, there was a time when nearly every
couple who came to him for counsel ended up divorced. But rather
than give up, Dr. Harley set out to find a solution to the problem.
This book is the product of that commitment.
For the past fifteen years, Dr. Harley has used this book to teach
couples what's most important in marriage-how to fall in love and
stay in love. Now, with more than a million copies and twelve translations
of His Needs, Her Needs in print, he shares the story behind the
book and continues to offer readers a practical plan for creating
and sustaining a passionate marriage.
Nationally acclaimed clinical psychologist Willard F. Harley, Jr.,
Ph.D. is the author of many books on marriage, including Love Busters
and The Five Steps to Romantic Love.

God! I Can't Take It Any More
Surviving the Pain of Divorce and Marital Separation
by Jeff Harris
This self-help book is an in-depth look into the struggles of Christian
author, Jeff Harris, as he fought through the debilitating pain of
marital separation. His journey of faith, hope, and love, is both
encouraging and extremely comforting.
Finally, a book that tells it like it is!
When reading this book you can tell that the author is speaking from
his heart. It's not written by someone with plaques on his walls,
but by someone that traveled the road of divorce, and learned life's
great lesson along the way. I recommend it to anyone dealing with
marital separation or divorce that wants real advice and real results.
It helped me tremendously! (L. Pellissier (lpellissier@jlhproducts.com),

Love Busters: Overcoming Habits That Destroy
Romantic Love
Willard F. Harley Jr.
Overcoming Habits That Destroy Romantic Love. Marriage expert Dr.
Willard Harley identifies the six love busters that pull marriages
apart and shows how you and your spouse can learn to avoid them. You
will see that once love busters are eliminated, conflicts over friends
and relatives, career choices, financial planning, children, or sex
will be much easier to resolve. Even infidelity or substance abuse
can be overcome when love busters are defeated. The strength of your
marriage depends on the passion you share for each other. So stop
destroying the feeling of love and discover, instead, how to build
your love with care and with time.

Love is a Decision
Proven Techniques to Keep your Marriage Alive and Lively
Gary Smalley and John Trent
I had read several books, including a couple of Smalley's other
works. Didn't expect to learn anything "new," but figured
I would get a rehash of everything else that I've picked up over
the years. When he defined Honor and Genuine Love, it hit me in
a way that it never had before - and makes complete sense. It heightened
my curiosity, and made me want to explore a little further. It was
the piece of the missing puzzle. I've learned new things and you
will too.
This book is a must for anyone serious about making the commitment
to either get married, or to strengthen their marriage. The books
mentioned previously are good, but if you come out of this with
a clear definition of Honor and Genuine Love, you will come out
a winner and it will be worth the price!

Boundaries
Dr. Henry Cloud / Dr. John Townsend
ISBN: 0310247454
Pub. Date: March 2002
Publisher: Zondervan
I really like this book. I know first hand the effects of not being
assertive and expressing clear boundaries all for the sake of being
'nice'. I have learned through life that standing up for yourself
in not being nice nor mean, but being a steward over the life that
you have been given and knowing your limits. Reading this book helped
me to weed out some mistakes from the past and I believe it will help
me to make better decisions in the future. |

Boundaries Face to Face:
How to Have that Difficult Conversation You've Been Avoiding
A practical handbook on positive confrontation by the authors of the
award-winning and best-selling Boundaries
Successful people confront well. They know that setting healthy boundaries
improves relationships. They have discovered that uncomfortable--even
dangerous--situations can often be avoided or resolved through direct
conversation. But most of us don't know how to go about having difficult
conversations. We see confrontation as scary or adversarial. We're
afraid to ask a boss for a raise or talk to a relative about a drinking
problem, or even address a relational conflict with a spouse or someone
we are dating.
In Boundaries Face to Face authors Cloud and Townsend take the
principles from their best-selling book Boundaries and apply them
to a variety of the most common difficult situations and relationships.

Every Man's Marriage: An Every Man's Guide to Winning
the Heart of a Woman (Paperback)
by Stephen Arterburn, Fred Stoeker, Mike Yorkey
This is a book that could change your life! (Review from Amazon.com)
I am a woman who is married to a man much like one of the authors
(By the way, contrary to another reviewer, I would never describe
them as "abusers." They simply didn't understand how much
pain they were causing their wives by their actions.). I know my husband
loves me deeply, but he has never really understood how to connect
with me so we can enjoy the fantastic sex life he (and I) wants! This
book is about mutual submission, and any husband who takes it seriously
will reap rewards that he has only dreamed of. Men, your wives want
what this book describes more than anything else in life. I had given
up that anything like this was even possible after 20 years of marriage.
For one thing, I couldn't even describe it to my husband so he understood,
but these authors have been there and figured it out, and they speak
to men like men. They found these answers by seriously seeking God
and asking Him to show them what their marriage was really supposed
to look like (after some serious problems, which almost destroyed
their marriages and their wives!). If you are serious about having
the most fantastic marriage that God intended for all of us, then
read this book and live it like these guys are. (L. Cheeley)

Communication
The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt
Commitment to Your Mate
Gary Chapman
This isn't the first book to point out that what communicates love
to you might not mean a thing to your mate. But Gary Chapman says
it the most clearly, and most convincingly. His well-defined languages
explain why so many well-meaning spouses find expressions of love
so frustrating.
I would have finished reading it cover to cover at one time if I
didn't have to go to work that day. This book truly is such an eye-opener.
From reading this book, you will understand exactly what those five
love languages are and exactly which language you and your loved
ones speak. You will understand and be able to apply instantly what
you learned. You will know how to eliminate misunderstandings, miscommunications,
frustrations, confusions, any hurt feelings, and fights, which are
a waste of energy. It is easy to 'get the big picture'. Your efforts
will be simple, to the point, effecient, and deeply appreciated.
This book is easy to understand and the things you learn are so
exciting. A light bulb turned on in my head with every chapter that
I read. And it's not just for romantic relationships only. You can
use this to improve your relationships with family and friends too.
I would recommend this book for any person who wants to have more
happier and healthier relationships in his or her life. This book
could save your marriage, or your relationship with your child and/or
your parents, and/or friends. Get this book to change your life.
