Getting Through to the Man You Love: The No-Nonsense, No-Nagging Guide for Women

by Michele Weiner-Davis

An irresistible message for women

If someone told you that you could have better, more meaningful communication with your partner, hug him without his thinking sex was imminent, get him to become more involved with the kids, or even realize that, unlike the oven, the house isn't self-cleaning, wouldn't you want to know how? Of course you would. Well, Michele Weiner-Davis is about to let you in on her secrets.

Drawing on more than two decades of experience in helping couples make their relationships great and using her own twenty-something year old marriage as a testing ground for her techniques, Weiner-Davis
- women's biggest "beefs" about men
- why blaming, nagging, and talking about feelings don't work
- why action-oriented methods are infinitely more effective
- how to talk so men will listen

Most important, Weiner-Davis shows how every woman can become an expert at getting her man to be more responsive to the things she wants and needs in their relationship. So, if you've been at the end of your relationship rope and you're ready to let go of the line, hang in there . . . solutions are right around the corner.

Fabulous book. Fabulous. The author is a great writer and has great advice for every kind of relationship, not just marriage. She encourages you to change your life by first changing yourself. No magic here, folks. Just great advice that involves you doing something in an effective way.

I admit I never put her methods into practice the way she suggested. I didn't write down goals and issues etc. I just read it to get some ideas of how I could make my relationship even better.

Very well written. I really recommend this book for every woman, whether in a relationship, married, divorced, or single. Even if you feel it doesn't apply to you directly, then its a plus in you knowledge to help who's around you. But I think, it can change you and make a better woman, or more, ready to deal with a new relationship. I definitaly will give it to my friends and share the stories. A must must read ladies :)
