Love is a Verb: How to Stop Analyzing Your Relationship and Start Making it Great!

by Patricia Hudson O'Hanlon, Bill O'Hanlon

Even if you've discovered from the talk shows and the self-help books that you're afraid of intimacy or prone to self-destruction because of a miserable childhood, has it really helped? If not, it's time for action; it's time for Love Is a Verb.


Here is a fresh, new approach to relationships. The book goes beyond analyzing relationships to changing them, even if one partner isn't interested. Using a solution-oriented approach, humor, stories, and good common sense, Bill O'Hanlon and Pat Hudson (marriage counselors and husband and wife) show readers how to:



break free of old patterns in days and weeks, not months or years
quickly and easily solve relationship problems
improve their sex life
increase feelings of love and closeness
get over past hurts
Lively, upbeat, and future-focused, Love Is a Verb shows readers how to change today's dreams of more romance and happiness into tomorrow's reality.

I think every book on marriage has some things that I agree with and some things that I don't. There's a lot I don't agree with in chapter 6 I would skip the chapter or read it keeping in mind your ethics and standards on intimacy.

But that said I LOVE how this book talks about the necessity in a relationship for honesty and fidelity. I love how it talks about making your spouse happy. I love how it suggests doing little things each day to show your love - in the way that your spouse sees as love. I love how it gives you action steps to do.

I super love how it points out that we all do many things for our good when we don't feel doing them. We go to work. We eat in healthy ways. We exercise. We brush and floss our teeth. Nurturing and building our marriage should be the same. Something we know is so important that we should show our love and build our love whether or not we feel like it.

Este libro me parece interesante porque plantea diversas técnicas para concretar y reconectar con la pareja, no es un manual (los autores lo especifican), es una guía que da pie a crear soluciones para diversas problemáticas de la pareja.
