Acerca de esta escucha
A must-listen for struggling lovers or those looking to make the plunge.
Have you ever wondered why, if unconditional romantic love actually worked, the marriage failure rate is almost 50%? Or, why the other 50% of today's young adults are too afraid to even try marriage? In this fun and provocative exploration, J.A. Dougherty cuts through love myths that end up crippling relationships. The author, a financial counselor to couples, has seen it all: the good, the bad, and the absolutely ridiculous. And surprisingly, money matters are just a small part of it!
Along the way, Dougherty also highlights celebrities and romantic comedy characters who travel down the rocky road of love like the rest of us, only to find that nasty detour on the way to forever-ness. In Unconditional Love Sucks!, you’ll discover where all the hidden speed bumps are. After Dougherty humorously demolishes the misconceptions that surround unconditional love, the writer reconstructs what successful relationships need in order to last longer than just that great online date. In this groundbreaking book, you’ll learn new strategies that may blow your mind, but will make for a better love life, especially during these days of changing roles and attitudes. You’ll learn to:
- not rely on unconditional love as a path for success
- be aware of your partner’s - and your own - true relationship objectives
- not count on your partner to change - at least for the better
- avoid co-mingling commingling finances with your lover, even after moving in together, and
- consider love bonds other than legal marriage.
Buckle your seat belt and enjoy a lighthearted and absorbing journey of love like you’ve never had. Unconditional Love Sucks! clears the path for a new generation and all their romantic possibilities. Get your copy now. Click the buy button and start your journey!

Growing up in the church, Kevin and Melissa Fredericks were taught endless rules and expectations around dating, sex, and marriage, but not a lot about what actually makes a relationship work. There were conversations that they didn’t know they needed to have, deep-rooted fears that affected how they communicated, and seasons of change that put their marriage to the test.

Just as Masters and Johnson were pioneers in the study of human sexuality, so Dr. John Gottman has revolutionized the study of marriage. As a professor of psychology at the University of Washington and the founder and director of the Seattle Marital and Family Institute, he has studied the habits of married couples in unprecedented detail over the course of many years. His findings, and his heavily attended workshops, have already turned around thousands of faltering marriages.

If You're In My Office, It's Already Too Late. James Sexton knows this. After dealing with over 1000 clients whose marriages have dissolved over everything from an ill-advised threesome with the nanny to the uneven division of carpool duties, he also knows all of the what- not-to-dos for couples who want to build - and consistently work to preserve - a lasting, fulfilling relationship. Described by former clients as a "courtroom gunslinger" and "the sociopath you want on your side", Sexton tells the unvarnished truth about relationships. These usually derive from dishonest communication.

Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?” You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives - they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including whom to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love.

Suddenly finding herself 40 and single, Lori Gottlieb said the unthinkable in her March 2008 article in The Atlantic: Maybe she, and single women everywhere, needed to stop chasing the elusive Prince Charming and instead go for Mr. Good Enough. Looking at her friends' happy marriages to good enough guys who happen to be excellent husbands and fathers, Gottlieb declared it time to reevaluate what we really need in a partner. By looking at everything from culture to biology, in Marry Him, Gottlieb frankly explores the dilemma that so many women today seem to face.

Over 90 percent of couples experience some level of tension around money. In fact, money issues are the number one stressor in relationships. So many books try to fix the surface problems, such as how to budget and what to prioritize when it comes to finances, but the issues go much deeper than just a simple spreadsheet. How do men and women view money differently? What do most couples fight about? How can they get on the same page?

Honest, Daring and Unabashed
The Narrator: B. Kelly did a lively and beautiful read. She added lots of personality and made listening to the audiobook fun. She spoke very clearly.
The Content: It is rare to hear such honesty and fresh perspective on finding love. Listening you feel like the author is personally sharing with you all the insights learned from helping clients deal with their financial problems and dreams.
It was fun to listen to the author use movie characters, celebrities, U.S. Presidents, and personal love stories to explain how people find love today. For example, I was surprised how Trump and Obama were used to explain different personality traits. It made this book both entertaining and educational. I'm glad I listened. I do recommend it.
