"What happened to the passion we started with? Why aren't we as close as we used to be?" PROBLEM: If you are a woman who is unfulfilled in your marriage...if you feel unheard or overburdened...if you quietly live in a state of slow-burn resentment... PROBLEM: If you are a man unhappy that your partner seems so unhappy with you...if you feel bewildered, unappreciated, or betrayed... This book offers a solution Bestselling author and nationally renowned therapist Terrence Real unearths the causes of communication blocks between men and women in this groundbreaking work. Relationships are in trouble; the demand for intimacy today must be met with new skills, and Real -- drawing on his pioneering work on male depression -- gives both men and women those skills, empowering women and connecting men, radically reversing the attitudes and emotional stumbling blocks of the patriarchal culture in which we were raised. Filled with powerful stories of the couples Real treats, no other relationship book is as straight talking or compelling in its innovative approach to healing wounds and reconnecting partners with a new strength and understanding.
Twenty years of experience treating men and their families has convinced psychotherapist Terrence Real that depression is a silent epidemic in men -- that men hide their condition from family, friends, and themselves to avoid the stigma of depression's "un-manliness." Problems that we think of as typically male -- difficulty with intimacy, workaholism, alcoholism, abusive behavior, and rage-are really attempts to escape depression. And these escape attempts only hurt the people men love and pass their condition on to their children. This groundbreaking book is the "pathway out of darkness" that these men and their families seek. Real reveals how men can unearth their pain, heal themselves, restore relationships, and break the legacy of abuse. He mixes penetrating analysis with compelling tales of his patients and even his own experiences with depression as the son of a violent, depressed father and the father of two young sons.
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.
