Bipolar Spouse: How to Navigate Both Sides of a Bipolar Relationship in Order to Achieve Stability and Happiness
Go on, Be Happy! Learn the Secrets to Living Happily with a Bipolar Spouse
All relationships require effort and commitment from both people. A relationship involving a spouse with bipolar disorder may require more effort than a typical relationship. Both partners in the relationship have unique perspectives of the disease and how it affects them personally. The spouse with bipolar disorder lives in a constant whirlwind of emotion. They often feel misunderstood, and can even feel emotionally isolated from loved ones. The spouse without bipolar disorder, however, feels that nothing they do to please the other is good enough. They are always guessing how their spouse will be feeling that day, or hour, or minute even, having good intentions that often go unnoticed. Living on either side can be exhausting. Without good communication from both sides of the relationship, the potential for success may be compromised.
In this book, I provide my own perspective of daily life in a bipolar relationship, and I also do my best to describe my spouse's perspective as well. By taking both sides into consideration, I convey the ways that two people can be successful in a relationship while coping with a mental illness such as bipolar disorder. Life doesn't have to be miserable. There are ways to manage this illness that will allow you as much normalcy as possible. Even if you or your spouse don't suffer from bipolar disorder, many of the lessons in this book will still help any relationship flourish.
Here is What You'll Learn...

Quick beginner book for spouses
I think this is a great beginners book for couples just starting to look into bipolar and its affects on all that love someone with the diagnosis. It gets much much much deeper than this, I promise although these are some basic rules to start from if there are any intentions of continuing in a bipolar persons life or if you continue to be bipolar...which is inevitable.

Not written by a professional, no novel information, nothing to act on.
Poorly written, more like a pamphlet and doesn't have any real meat. Don't waste your time, this could have been written by a 9th grader.

A good summary of living with Bipolar
Some good insights from both sides, with/without Bipolar. Would be good to read a bit more, maybe a followup or more info about specific problems couples can face when one or both spouses have Bipolar disorder.
