## Description

In his extraordinary new book, Terrence Real, distinguished therapist and bestselling author, presents a long overdue message that women need to hear: You aren’t crazy–you’re right! Women have changed in the last twenty-five years–they have become powerful, independent, self-confident, and happy. Yet many men remain irresponsible and emotionally detached. They don’t know how to respond to frustrated partners who just want their mates to show up and grow up. Enter the good news: In this revolutionary book, Real shows women how to master the new rules of twenty-first-century marriage by offering them a set of effective tools with which they can create the truly intimate relationship that they desire and deserve. He identifies five non-starters to avoid and shares practical strategies for bringing honesty, passion, and joy back to even the most difficult relationship. Using his experience helping thousands of couples shift from despair to profound emotional closeness, Real guides you through the process of relationship repair with exercises that you can do alone or with your partner. With this program you’ll discover how to - identify and articulate your wants and needs - listen well and respond generously - set limits, and stand up for yourself - embrace and appreciate what you have - know when to seek outside help The New Rules of Marriage will introduce you to a radically new kind of relationship, one based on the idea that every woman has the power to transform her marriage, while men, given the right support, have it in them to rise to the occasion. We have never wanted so much from our relationships as we do today. More than any other generation, we yearn for our mates to be lifelong friends and lovers. The New Rules of Marriage shows us how to fulfill this courageous and uncompromising new vision.

Review: Marvelous! - As a general book-junkie and frequent reader of topics on health, psychology, fitness, relationships, business, philosophy, cognitive science, and occasionally even a good old novel....I can say without the slightest hesitation that this book is a gigantic stand out from the regular sludge of self-help / advice lit out there. The book really does a terrific job of fulfilling its own promises to the reader. There is useful takeaway here. I’m very surprised at how much. Terry expertly balances some theory (more accurately I should say thought-models) with practice, anticipates and addresses the likely challenges and objections, provides genuinely interesting and realistic vignettes for each sub section, and left me feeling as though I had truly learned something utterly new: how is it that we can affect the course of our love-relationships unilaterally, how you can initiate a change by understanding how you are perpetuating the problems that plague your relationship. He does not preach, he even ends the book with a realistic assessment of when its time to split, but you’ll actually know if you’ve really done all that is humanly possible or not. The pain of doubt as to whose to blame for what, whether to endure or depart, how to diffuse conflict, etc etc etc...all so very well described. By the way, I’ll probably offend someone in saying this last point but I don’t care, it needs being said; most relationship salvaging books are written in a feminine mode, usually by woman or by men who seem to me very much lacking in masculinity....not so here. Guys, this one’s for us. The writing is assertive, incisive, yes - emotionally open, but in a good way that never alienated me (I’m a 56 year old Jersey dude who loves rock and roll and all that goes with it) and still I say this. Hope you liked my review. Thanks to APC for referring this book to me. Thanks Terry. Write another one soon.
Review: Well worth reading - Would make a great gift for young couples. Worth reading for the succinct explaination of the five losing strategies that trip us up, and the very clear explaination of healthy boundaries. Understand these things and you have what you need to be happy. I don't agree with the theory that we marry people to help us heal our past relationship issues, though I've read that before, but I do believe we often get involved with people with whom we have the same dysfunctional issues that plagued our past, because it's what's familiar, if unhealthy. Dysfunction often breeds dysfunction that just keeps repeating itself. It probably doesn't matter why we get into that situation, just that we do, and we need help. It seems like we should have it worked out by now, instead of every generation having to deal with the same issues the hard way, as if they are new, or unique or unforeseeable. A very useful guide for how to get things right. Do it right, and pass it down, and the divorce rate might drop dramatically! It's true that couples today do have their own new challenges as well, and this book does a good job of explaining that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life-Changing Book: Absolutely Love it
*by P***A on February 22, 2017*

My female embodiment coach recommended me this book during our coaching together. At the time, I simply made a note in my journal and let it be at that. I recommended the book to other people, yet strangely didn't get it for myself. I heard from them they loved the book and the teachings were so profound. Well, I finally got the book for myself and I must say it is one of the absolute best books I've read on relationships. There is spiritual/personal development aspects to the teachings, yet it is incredibly practical in its application. I don't see that often in other books, practical tips and strategies and ways to actually apply in a concrete manner to one's life, while at the same time changing you deeply inside that you will see the transformation shifts in your life and external world. I am doing every exercise in this book and got a journal specifically just to do the exercises. Since I'm not sure if my partner is yet open to this, I am also doing the exercises from his perspective and it's really opening my eyes to his soul and who he is as a person.
