Rate this book
'I'm always the one willing to go the extra mile for the sake of my marriage', 'His eyes glaze over when I try to talk intimately about things that matter.' Maybe you've heard these words from your spouse. Maybe you've said these words about your marriage. Distant Partner is a book for those who have a relationship with too much busyness and not enough personal sharing. You don't have to stay locked into this merry-go-round battle. Once you understand the dynamics between evasive husbands and emotionally eager wives, you can begin to take the initiative and move forward with healthy actions and choices.

Very helpful. Gives you a lot more to understand and work with than love and respect. I don’t think the subtitle is exactly fitting. Maybe better would be “How to stop beating your head against a wall and communicate with respect and integrity.” I would say the gist of the book is ways to understand your husband and yourself, changes to make in yourself as a result, these changes may help your husband—or not, but they will help you either way.
