The Birth Order Effect for Couples: How Birth Order Affects Your Relationships - And What You Can Do About It

by Cliff Isaacson, Meg Schneider

In his first book The Birth Order Effect , Cliff Isaacson took over where Alfred Adler left offùchallenging and expanding on traditional birth order theory, and showing readers how to determine their Birth Order Personality (not necessarily chronologically) and use that knowledge to understand themselves and others better. In The Birth Order Effect for Couples , Isaacson applies the Birth Order Effect specifically to relationships, showing readers how to use an understanding of their birth order personalities and that of their significant other to improve their relationships across the boardùemotionally, physically, spiritually, and sexually. The Birth Order Effect for Couples identifies the challenges couples face given their respective birth order personalities, and offers solutions. ItÆs fun to read, and as informative and instructive as it is entertaining.

This is one of the coolest theories about personality types, because it's spot on. The 5 types are described, and then this book focuses on couples and understanding each other. The 5 love languages book never says anything like, "If you understand the other person better, you give them room to make mistakes." but instead says, "You have to meet their needs--no room for mistakes." This book is great about seeing the other person differently.

Skimmed the book. Found Kevin Leman's book to be more clearly written.
