  <default-description>Marriage works only when each spouse takes the time to consider the other's needs and strives to meet them. In His Needs, Her Needs, Willard Harley identifies the ten most vital needs of men and women and shows husbands and wives how to satisfy those needs in their spouses. He provides guidance for becoming irresistible to your spouse and for loving more creatively and sensitively, thereby eliminating the problems that often lead to extramarital affairs. The revised anniversary edition of His Needs, Her Needs is a celebration of how the book has helped thousands of couples revitalize their marriages during the last fifteen years. This best-seller identifies the causes of marital difficulties and instructs couples on how to prevent them, guiding them to build a relationship that sustains romance and increases intimacy. With today's soaring divorce rate and prevalence of affairs, Harley's insights are needed more than ever before. An unabridged recording of His Needs, Her Needs, the 15th anniversary edition, is now available as an audio book.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I doubt that this is as all comprehensive as he claims it to be, but it is one of the best books that I read on the subject so far.  It reminds me a lot of the <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/567795.The_Five_Love_Languages_How_to_Express_Heartfelt_Commitment_to_Your_Mate" title="The Five Love Languages  How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate by Gary Chapman">the five love languages</a>, but I liked this better.<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64635053">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I just decided to go through my bookshelf at home and add some of the marriage books that we have read.  This one is classic.  We actually laughed a lot about it and joke about some the needs/issues often.  It was yet another take on improving and strengthening your marriage.  Every time I read a ne...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48060405">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Very good book about the needs of men and women in marriage and how we can help meet those needs. Since he gives a lot of examples of couples in counseling as a result of an affair (mind or body, but mainly the later) this isn't for the faint of heart. He supports the what would seem politically inc...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22912034">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Haven't read many marriage books, so I'm no expert. There was a lot of good material, and a lot of repetition, which got a little stale at times. Not revolutionary, but good reminders on the basics of learning to love a person whose needs, thoughts, and feelings are probably not exactly like your ow...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38220559">more...</a>]]></body>
