Product Description:
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.

I have been reading marriage improvement books for 30 years. This has been the best book on the subject by far. It really speaks to the core issues, men's shame and women's fear. Excellent, I recommend it to everyone.

The majority of this book is great, however during the last couple of chapters during the end it gets to be hard to follow. Even worse, the suggestions about turning conflict around by focusing on your core values is even harder to institute. I love the explantion into the shame vs. fear dynamic and it helped me in my search to fix my marriage greatly by giving me an understanding of her. I would recommend this book entirely based on the first 4 to 5 chapters.

This book should give a lifetime of great relationships with those that matter the most to you. While I found some of the theories mentioned in this book difficult to grasp - or I failed to buy into them entirely, as they didn't seem to fit of own situation - over time as I read more it all came together with some rather amazing insights that helped me see the big picture. In a nutshell, I found the book telling me that to sort myself out if I wanted great relationships. To become the person I wanted ... Read More

A friend recommended this excellent book to me as she found it most enlightening. I am most impressed by the way the authors look at relationships from both the male and female perspective. There are a few parts in which it becomes too generalized - all men; all women but overall, the message is clear. I love how they emphasize the importance of helping someone to feel valued. Generally it is different between men and women as to how that emphasis can be stated but it comes down to expressing how ... Read More
