Great book…I needed it.

This book is shed light on a lot of struggles from my marriage. The audible book is very easy to listen to. I would dare say hard to stop listening to sometimes I can’t wait to put some of these ideas and practice. If you need this book, you won’t be disappointed.

You’ve got my attention

After 23 years my marriage was feeling a little stale I was looking for something that would revitalize our relationship. After listening the first time I knew this would help. Don’t forget the pdf that comes with the audiobook, it will help on your second and third listening.

Awesome advice and instructions!

I am sorry for the person who viewed this as license or advice to stay with an abuser, but that is not what he said! He asked her what she wanted, not told her what she MUST do. Every person can be redeemed and should be if they can be. Marriage seems to be one of those binding relationships that imprisons those who don’t know how to navigate it. Don’t put her down if it worked and do not put down the women or man who must leave. I praise the author and I know some of these proposals are hard and he admits that. The choice is yours.

Personally I enjoyed this book immensely and recommend to anyone looking to fix or improve their marriage. I have used these techniques and know that they work for just about anyone. We are humans with needs to be met. He only shows how to find the needs and meet them. If your wondering, yes I was in an abusive relationship and only wanted out. I got out with a lot of effort and a couple of years of stalking so don’t think I don’t know what I am talking about.

Thank you Mr. Chapman

This book very helpful,

Is there a space language for love?
We did the 5 love languages quiz but my husband said his primary love languages is space. I just want to understand.
Thank you.
