Marriage and relationships are in crisis. The breakup and divorce rates
remain incredibly high, despite all the couples therapy, afternoon talk
shows, and other books in the marketplace, many of which describe men as
abusive commitment-phobic creeps who'd better change fast or else. But
this new book is totally different: a whole different way of looking at
how to build a successful long-lasting relationship from a man's point
of view--men who are happy in their partnerships, who have figured out
what works for them in accomplishing the goal of a loving, intimate,
lifetime commitment.
Dr. Scott Haltzman, Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Human
Behavior at Brown University and founder of www.secretsofmarriedmen.com,
has devised a proven method for improving relationships, based on a
man's special and unique skills, strengths, powers--as a responsible and
motivated worker, manager, leader, problem-solver, partner, husband, and
father. Men are different, Dr. Haltzman says. They don't approach
relationships with the same skills and techniques that women do--and
viva la difference. Dr. Haltzman therefore lays out eight ways, tasks,
proven techniques which men have revealed in confidential correspondence
to his highly successful website, including:
- The First Way: Make Your Marriage Your Job
- The Second Way: Know Your Wife
- The Third Way: Be Home Now
- The Fourth Way: Expect Conflict and Deal With It
- The Fifth Way: Learn to Listen
- The Sixth Way: Aim to Please
- The Seventh Way: Understand the Truth About Sex
- The Eighth Way: Introduce Yourself
- And finally, Celebrate Your Love.
Within each of these steps, he provides both specific analysis,
guidelines, and techniques based on male biology, neuro-science, brain
differences, and unique developmental stages from youth to seniority.
To illustrate these ideas in action, he's included wonderful true
stories, anecdotes, and confessions from the website. The result is a
practical, very entertaining, totally original way to build successful
relationships for men and their partners, girlfriends, and wives.
For a lasting commitment, a continuing guide to solving inevitable
problems and bumps in the road, for more fun, better sex, genuine
intimacy, and a life-long partnership--this dynamic new author shows the
way in a manner that finally includes an authentic male perspective.
