Publisher's summary

Read by the author.

Grow your relationship through conversations that make a difference.

New York Times bestselling author Susan Scott guides couples through eight must-have conversations to create a fierce love that stands the test of time and grows stronger over the years.

Often in our romantic relationships we long for deep connection, but we don't know how to communicate well, and sometimes even withhold what we're really thinking and feeling. This can lead to fighting, resentment, or worse, complacency--where you are just going through the motions, living more like roommates than two people in love. As Susan writes, "It's as if we've pulled off our own wings." As couples, we don't stop to think how important our conversations are. And we certainly don't understand that what we talk about and how we talk about them determine whether our relationships will thrive, flatline, or fail.

In Fierce Love, Susan Scott guides couples through conversations that lead to deep connection and lasting commitment. Using true stories and hands-on exercises, Susan helps us to

  • understand that the conversation is the relationship;
  • identify and dispel five relationship myths that mislead and derail us;
  • learn eight must-have conversations that are critical to enriching relationships; and
  • stop fighting or ignoring issues and start connecting in a deep and meaningful way.

After a season where many relationships were tested and tried, where some thrived and others exposed cracks—including those that couples didn't even realize were there or realized but didn't acknowledge--now is the best time to learn to communicate well. By having honest, compelling conversations with our partners, we can foster true connection and fierce love.

An accompanying checklist is available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Thanks goodness for speed control

Content was great. Narration was painful. Thankfully able to speed it up…would’ve been a deal breaker otherwise. Have recommended to friends but specifically only print version.

Good advice

Concerning that you find out at the end of the book that the author is a result of failed relationships- and lives happily alone 🤔 although I liked much of her thinking and advice

This is NOT for shared love (although it sets out to be)

The author does share some good wisdom on living a content life from all types of relationship dynamic perspective. However, the reader will detect biased tone early on and at the end it’s clear the book is really her perspective on what matters: honoring and respecting yourself and everyone in your life and expecting that in return. Her perspective on romantic relationships is NOT helpful because of her bias from her own experiences, which have not been positive. If you are reading this to get perspective on how to have a successful lifelong romantic relationship, this is not it.

Solid if you lack the fundamentals of honest communication with your SO

This book was underwhelming for me. Maybe I’m being harsh but the guidelines in this book seem to boil down to having honest communication with your significant other. The author provides some strategy or frameworks you can use for conversations, but I can’t say I learned anything I didn’t already know. Some things I took away from this book that I felt were helpful I’ve written below.

When having a fierce conversation with your partner, refrain from giving feedback or advice until they’ve completely articulated their position or emotions. Ask them questions to further the conversation rather than brining in your own experience or switching the conversation to you.

When thinking of feedback, think of it as a gift. Feedback/advice really should be a gift and so ask yourself before you give advice, what would it be like to receive this “gift” as the other person. Consider their current emotions, position and context before inserting your take.

Ask yourself if you are holding yourself accountable to what you ask of a current or potential partner. If you are not living to those
Expectations, you can’t expect it or your partner.
