Absolutely love this book!!!

There are so many communication traps we get ourselves into without even trying!! The most natural thing to do is be ourselves and express ourselves the best way we can to anyone, especially our partners. I am guilty 1st hand of being overly passionate and emotional when expressing my self. Even when I think I am calm and simply talking, my partner would say otherwise every time. I have learned so many aspects of where I can change the way I communicate from this book. One of my strongest takeaways would be to pay attention to how my husband interprets my venting. I have been expecting for 5 months now, and have been venting alot, and crying over the littlest things, even the weather!!! This book is a life saver for me at the moment, helping me to put things into a better perspective. I highly recommend this book for everyone pregnant or not!!! The narrator is very well versed and engaging throughout the entire book. The content being a complicated topic is very well organized and thoroughly explained!! Great listen all the way around!!

Very good resource, approacable source for women

This audiobook presents a balanced approach for how a woman can communicate with a man effectively. It's important for women to hear this because it's not really taught well by mentors and parents a lot of the time. I can picture this book being a helpful accompaniment to couples therapy and also for any woman preparing to get into a healthy relationship.

Effective

Author Sue didn’t miss a beat. This book covers real life situations that we’ve all been through. I enjoyed that’s it’s very relatable. I would find it hard to believe that any adult listening to this and couldn’t pick up several tips and advise to apply to your relationship. Sue speaks from a place of experience. Hats off to the author. This book is a wealth of knowledge.

Smart book by a smart woman

It is really important to step back and take a look at the way we communicate. The author helps you do that. There is a lot on the line with conversations like these. You need perspective and empathy. Fantastic book. Great narrator too.

content

From start to finish the information in this book is so enlightening. My eyes were opened to so many things I have been doing that has hindered a close and intimate relationship with my husband. The best part is all the alternatives she shared of ways to approaching each one of those things. if your struggling at all in your marriage I recommend that you read and apply the information in this book.

Improved Communication Skills

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. Not only is it helpful in improving the quality of my relationship with my partner, but with all men in my life. It has also certainly helped with my ability to communicate in a way where I now feel heard and understood in my relationship. This book will teach you how to avoid unnecessary conflict and how to resolve conflicts that arise in a constructive way. The narrator was easy to listen to and understand. A great resource.

ThIs is : AN IMPORTANT AND NECESSARY BOOK!

Marriage has been neglected for decades and it is necessary to be educated about the importance of trying to understand our differences in marriage and work on ways to fix it instead of destroying it. I love this book. I think most couples should buy it. Society tries hard to make you believe that marriage is a waste but this book shows you marriage is valuable and it's worth it to try the tips and advices given in it. I highly recommend this book!!!

Listening is Key

I really enjoyed listening this book. I think one of the most difficult things we can do as human beings is listen to the other person as they speak their point of view; which can become quite complicated sometimes when we have different opinions. This book really dives deep into really showing how to listen with empathy. This book showcases Great dialogue skills that we can all take advantage of and practice to have more meaningful conversations.
