Synopsis
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
