I like this book! I'm not usually into self help books. I am one of those people who knows they have issues but when other people say I do I totally deny it.

Anyways this book was on the shorter end but I liked that. it was straight and to the point.

A lot of the things this book mentioned in helping you build a bettwr relationship is common sense. The beauty of that is in our relationships we kinda forget that its the simple things that work. Communicating at dinner instead of watching tv or picking up fastfood on the way home because your family ate without you. Gratitude, remembering to be thankful of all the things we have. Being grateful for our partner even if they did nothing. In relationships we fall into routines and forget the simple things. This book reminds you of those things. Sometimes I slapped myself in the head thinking man these solutions are simple everyday things I can incorporate into my life and relationship.

So yes I would recommend this book to someone.… (mais)

At some point in our lives, most all of us need to deal with unsuitable habits in our relationships. They occur when we aren’t paying attention to what we are doing or saying, and so we slip into a comfort zone of not being our best selves. Unfortunately, even if you don’t see it, your partner is going to feel it and perhaps be hurt by your words or actions.

The Happy Couple: Relationship Habits for Healthy, Lasting Love by Barton Goldsmith is an extremely helpful book which every couple must read. It offers an exciting range of choices to work out together, which are there in our everyday life, but which we often overlooked.

A case in point is about relationship. A relationship cannot thrive or even survive without good communication, writes Goldsmith. He adds, “Good communication is not about never arguing. It’s not about being able to read each other’s minds or about being able to have long discussions on a variety of topics. It is about being able to share all the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of your life, and without being judged or feeling devalued.”

It is not only about communication. The book also deals with Gratitude, Humor, Acknowledgment, Interdependence, Celebration, Playfulness, Meeting Needs, Acceptance, Positivity, Honesty, Nurturing, Balance, Togetherness, Problem Solving, Affection, Compassion, Thoughtfulness, Respectful Arguing, Security, Enjoyment, Emotional Progress, Working on Your Relationship, and In Love for Life. It covers almost all aspects of relationship.

Reading the book will help you to identify your bad habits. Confronting them can be difficult, but it will be worth it.… (mais)
