About this listen
According to relationship expert and best-selling author Dr. Willard F. Harley, Jr., after couples get married, they often develop habits that slowly undermine the love they have for each other. If tolerated, these love busters - selfish demands, disrespectful judgments, angry outbursts, dishonesty, annoying habits, and independent behavior - will destroy a couple's love for each other. The solution, however, isn't merely to avoid these negative behaviors and attitudes. Rather, it's to cultivate love builders - positive habits that will strengthen the relationship.
With Dr. Harley's expert guidance, couples will be able to avoid the major causes of marital unhappiness and disappointment. Instead of tearing their marriage apart, they will learn to build it into the marriage they had needed and wanted. This book is a perfect companion to His Needs, Her Needs and will be useful to pastors, counselors, and couples.

Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. While both men and women deserve both love and respect, in the midst of conflict the driving need for a woman is love and the driving need for a man is respect. When either of these needs isn’t met, things get crazy. Based on over three decades of counseling, as well as scientific and biblical research, Love and Respect is for anyone.

Story
The key to starting a successful, lifelong relationship, according to Dr. Harley, lies in discovering whether you (and your partner) are freeloaders, renters, or buyers. Much like freeloading roommates who won't pay their fair share, relationship freeloaders are unwilling to put much effort into caring for someone. Renters are people who view a relationship as tentative and are only willing to provide care as long as terms are fair or until they find something better. The ideal partner, a buyer, is someone who regards a relationship as he or she does a home - permanent and exclusive.

From social disruptions like economic recessions, pandemics, and new technologies to individual disruptions like getting married or divorced, illness and injury, career transitions, and becoming a parent, we undergo change and transformation—both good and bad—regularly. Change is not the exception. It’s the rule. Yet we endlessly fight it, often viewing it as a threat to our stability and sense of self.

Story
Twenty-five years ago, Neil Howe and the late William Strauss dazzled the world with a provocative new theory of American history. Looking back at the last 500 years, they’d uncovered a distinct pattern: modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting roughly 80 to 100 years, the length of a long human life, with each cycle composed of four eras—or “turnings”—that always arrive in the same order and each last about 25 years. The last of these eras—the fourth turning—was always the most perilous, a period of civic upheaval and national mobilization.

I don't believe in fairy tales and Prince Charming. I believe in fear. He taught me how to be afraid. We first met on a playground on a wonderful summer day. It was the first time he hurt me and it wouldn't be the last. For 10 years, he's been my tormentor and I've been his forbidden. But then he went away, and yet I was still afraid. Now, he's back, and wants more than just my tears. You see...he thinks I sent him away so now he wants revenge...and he knows just how to get it.

Story
Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. While both men and women deserve both love and respect, in the midst of conflict the driving need for a woman is love and the driving need for a man is respect. When either of these needs isn’t met, things get crazy. Based on over three decades of counseling, as well as scientific and biblical research, Love and Respect is for anyone.

With Give and Take, Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation’s most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In Originals he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all?

What a great book!
This book goes perfectly with his other book. His needs her needs, and I did not want to put it down. It is so informative and eye-opening for things that are already right under your nose you just didn’t focus on. Thank you so much!
I also love that the writer of the book is also the narrator, it makes it that much more involved

The principle of enthusiastic mutual agreement
Book was fantastic. Like anything else the knowledge is only as good as you apply it. Sort of like having a gym membership is only beneficial if you actually go.

Outstanding!
The first useful marriage book that actually gets to core issues instead of just attempting to communicate around them.

Saved my marriage! Also redundant, but worth it!
I honestly feel this book saved my marriage. I read the book on my own, and implemented change in my end, and encouraging my husband to read specific chapters and do some of the exercises with me. This book was so incredibly valuable! I recommend it for any couple whether they are in a healthy loving relationship or one that is struggling. It is so good to be aware of the things that destroy love. Still worth the read, but I honestly felt like the main points were super redundant and repetitive. 5 stars none the less. Enjoy!

Painful, shortsighted and limited on actual new information
Warning: as I got put off by the stories the author shares which seem to demonstrate his own value to himself, it was hard to take the rest seriously. Very hard.
Man and wife of 50 years, he’s not happy. She doesn’t orgasm. Author gives wife a book on how to have orgasms and they are “fixed”. WTF
Man marries. They have kids. Wife pays attention to kids. Man Fs secretary. Man marries secretary. Secretary has kids. Secretary (wife) has kids. Secretary (wife) pays attention to kids. Man Fs new Secretary. Man marries new Secretary and seeks counseling because he sees the pattern. Author works with him and man is happily married with “final” wife who didn’t have kids. Yeah. Sure. Your counseling solved it. Never mind the completely different dynamic of no kids for the last go round. Sheesh!
Maybe the nuggets within this book work for those who are from or stuck in the 60s but the number of references to wife cleaning kitchen while man watches TV. Sheesh. Are there actually still households like that?
First step to recover from an affair: break off contact from the person with whom you’ve had an affair. No Fing $&/+. Does anyone in the world have to get that advice from a book???
Yes. There are concepts in this book that will help. No there is NO NEW information that you don’t already know.

If your marriage is really struggling
Because I loved his needs her needs I thought I would give this book a go, but it felt very depressing and made me over analyze any bad moments in my marriage. I can see if your marriage is in a really bad place (distancing, big arguments, abuse, deep hurt) that this could be good for you. But if you just want to improve your marriage this is not it.
Brilliant author. Just not what I needed.
