 Great book August 23, 2007
This book was very helpful to me. It has really helped me understand my motivations, fears and how to realte to others. There is a lot of helpful advice for getting out of destructive patterns in your realtionships.
Buy two copies and have your highlighters ready! July 30, 2007
I can't say enough good things about the book. I've told people that this is one of the few books that I've read that caused me to "wear out a highlighter" while reading it. I've told others that I feel that this book "completes the trinity" of marriage books (the other two being: His Needs, Her Needs and The 5 Love Languages). In my opinion, this book should become an instant classic regarding books on relationships.
Another thing that I liked about the book is that the author shows personal examples of failing to do what he teaches. He does not pretend to walk on water regarding the presented material and he gives us permission to learn the material, fail, try again and gradually learn and do better in our relations.
I would encourage married couples to get two copies of the book. I would then ask that they read the book with a yellow highlighter and a red pen. Highlight, underline and write in the margins - then talk about the book.
Trying to Improve a Key Relationship? July 1, 2007
Why do some relationships seem to "click" and thrive, while others never quite get started? Can a bad relationship be meaningfully improved, or should you start over? These and other questions are carefully addressed by Dr. Gary Smalley, one of the brightest "relationship thinkers" working today. Buy this hardcover book today (it's well worth the price) or wait for the paperback releasing in September. Either way this book deserves a read!

 If a husband will use this book correctly, it can bring huge change in a marriage May 20, 2007
This book isolates a wonderful concept concerning the "dance" of fear that couples get into. One spouse says or does something which pushes fear buttons in the other spouse. This causes a negative reaction of words or actions.. and the dance begins.
The solution is for one of the two parties to step out of the dance.
This is a wonderful illustration and concept. If a husband will read this book and take the responsibility to step out of the dance, then a marriage can go from bad to glad in a short time.
This is not a good book for abusive men to read though. Why? Abusive men will use anything to abuse, even knowledge. The truth uncovered in this book is powerful. It can bring GREAT healing in a relationship where a husband is committed to being the one to step out of the dance first.
If a man is abusive, he will use this idea against his wife. He will do things that he KNOWS are going to hurt his wife; when she reacts negatively, he will tell her that she is letting him push her buttons and that her negative reaction is her fault - that SHE needs to get hold of her emotions and that SHE needs to step out of the dance.
Since women generally buy books on marriage, I will address wives: If your husband is basically a good guy, but you find yourselves in arguements - then this book is a gold mine. On the other hand, if your husband is manipulative, controlling or abusive, then read this book yourself, but keep it away from him. I was an abusive husband and I used information like this to further abuse my wife, Kathy.
After I was healed of being manipulative, controlling and abusive, and became a great husband, this book added WONDERFUL insights to help me be a source of life to my wife. (Still married to Kathy after 23 years - ten bad ones and 13 great ones!)
If your husband is the manipulative, controlling or abusive type, check out our two books: they are written just for you and your husband to read, learn from, be healed and see a miraculous change in your marriage.
Keep the DNA of Relationships on hand and ask your husband to read it after he has read our two books and begun a transformation from selfish heel to loving, nurturing husband! Click on these links to check out our two books after your order The DNA of Relationships. Here are the links:
The Man of Her Dreams The Woman of His!
The Man of Her Dreams The Woman of His 2 - Livin' It and Lovin' It! (Volume 2)
After you and your husband read our two books, and then he reads DNA, follow that up with reading ALL of the rest of Dr. Smalley's books. Marriage is a lifetime journey of growth. Dr. Smalley has written some of the best to help you. Another fabulous book to read in the beginning of recovery is Discovering The Mind Of A Woman: The Key To Becoming A Strong And Irresistible Husband Is...
Blessings,
Joel and Kathy
