Does The "self Help Book" Technique Work For A Bad Relationship?

Posted: Mar 04, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

You browse thru the topics.  Are you looking for a book written by a man or woman? You check out their credentials, but how do you know if the advice they are offering will work. Unless you are familiar with some of the authors you won't know if they are happily involved in their own relationship. They may not even be in a relationship, so if they cannot hold their own life together what makes you think they could write a book to help you solve your problem?

You want to find a self help book that is written by a real person, who is happily married and writes about similar relationship problems to help  people like you.  Someone who cares whether you and your partner make it or not. A person you can contact, by email, with a personal question and get an answer from.

Have you thought about seeing a marriage counselor, but are embarrassed to discuss the intimate details of your relationship with a stranger. You could try a book on Self Help Marriage Counseling,but unless you know where to start and what to look for, it may not help you.  When you are involved in a situation you need to be aware of the other persons perspective, not just your own.

Dealing with painful issues, sex for example may be causing an issue, but you will need to discuss making love if it is part of your relationship problem. No human being is perfect and no relationship is perfect, but any relationship can be improved. You are probably with Mr/Ms right, you have just hit some bumps in the road that you need help smoothing out.

Do some reading and apply what you have learned.  Tread carefully and take things slowly.  The last thing you want is to get an argument started.   If things get heated, walk away and cool off. While you may be ready to put your relationship back together, your partner may not be.  Wait a couple of days and you may find that your partner more receptive to talking about your relationship.

    Confessions of Every Man's "Dream Woman According to Michael P. Johnson, professor of sociology at Penn State, there are three things that keep a person in a marriage: people want to stay, they feel they ought to stay, and/or they have to stay. This combination of personal, moral, and structural commitment serves to keep people in marriages. Notice that commitment keeps people in marriage--not happines.

    Just to be clear, you broke up. Why? There was a reason you broke up and you don not want to repeat what that "Why" was. Take a long, hard look at that "Why" before you even think about getting back together.

    You are alone. You Are Separated from your husband, physically or emotionally and You Want Your Husband Back. Your husband has moved out or he is still there but you are not communicating with each other. He may as well be living somewhere else. You do not want to give up on your marriage, the thought of failure is unbearable. The two of you have a problem and depending on the extent of that problem, reconciliation can be difficult but not impossible.
