For Men Who Want To Reclaim Their Marriage Intimacy

At first I was a skeptic concerning Ms. de Angelis' work. After reading "Real Moments for Lovers" I became convinced that she was indeed a Godsend to men who are serious about reviving their love relationships or who want to keep their new relationship fresh and alive. There is so much truth about who we are and why we react the way we do in our relationships. Reading this and "Real Moments" has definitely turned around the intimacy and romance in my own marriage and I highly recommend this book to anyone else (again, especially men who are looking for intimacy truths and ways to communicate with their spouses).

Some peolpe just don't get it!

I don't know were some of the readers get their wit. But I have read several of the author's books with my wife and they have helped us more then I could imagine. Opening us up to new ideas and learning to express our emotions and feelings to each other. My wife and I are much closer now then we ever have been before and it the best feeling in the world. It's far better then ending up like the one read who could only criticize the author. She (or He) is probably living an empty life alone.

Especially good on communicating emotions

My favorite part of the book was on why and how to communicate emotions. The fact that there's usually both positive and negative feelings involved, and if you leave either one out, your partner doesn't get the info they need ( & why). And a great, simple model of the layering of emotions that helps sort out the swirl and say the things that need to be said, in a way that's neither compromising nor hurtful.By the way, don't let the garish cover and the amateurish layout of the text turn you away. Laugh and keep reading.

lifesaver

after 20 yrs, 3 relationships, 5 boys, I am a healed single mom, now building towards finding a good husband again someday. It was 3 of Barbara's books that unveiled real life to me, ending an 8yr disfunctional triangle too. From domestic violence to infidelity and mental abuse, it all hurt me. Thru reading i gained tools to see and hear different. Her gentle deliverance of truth and human desires and behaviors carry a message across many cultures & grains. after 15 yrs of collecting bks, i have parted with most, except hers that rest next to my bible. She cleared the fog so my spirit awoke! Thank you eternally Barbara!

A divorce attorney says: "A must read for all!"

Divorce, they say is the second most destructive force on the planet, second only to the hydrogen bomb. As a divorce attorney, I concur with this saying. However, there is hope. I began recommending Barbara DeAngelis' book "How to Make Love All the Time" to clients in hopes it can do for their marriages what it has done for mine. The book has simple solutions and rational explanations for the inevitable conflict that occurs in all relationships. We see the Hollywood version of love and don't understand when our "fairy-tale romances" begin to suffer. Dr. DeAngelis explains to us that, so long as we are compatible, we should just work on what we have instead of going out and looking for a new relationship. She explains that all relationships will have conflict. The closer our connection to our loved ones, the more conflict we will have. However, using her techniques, we can resolve our conflict and enjoy closer bonds with our loved ones. She explains that new relationships have less conflict because there are fewer issues and emotions between the parties. While simple and (probably) common sense, this is a startling revelation for most. This is a great book offering hope for our staggering divorce rates. What do you have to lose?
