"How We Love: Expanded Edition: Discover Your Love Style, Enhance Your Marriage" By: Milan Yerkovich & Kay Yerkovich
My Thoughts....
This was a beautiful knowledgeable read from these two authors!
What I received from this novel....
Wonderful inside information....that offered different exercises to help one with self awareness and growth goals... great in depth workbook
I loved their accurate description of a secure connector: the Avoider, the Pleaser, the Vacillator, the Controller and the Victim.
I found there was great presentation of case studies that were bought out so clearly.
While reading and working through "How We Love" one can rekindled ones love and even learn respect for each other.
This novel is not only for couples! I found this a wonderful read for working in one's marriage and relationships. This is definitely a help in ones marriage and family. This read can not just "change ones marriage but also every relationship that is important to ones life."
If you are in need of a 'Marriage Counselor' this read will be for you.
After reading "How We Love" the reader will see that its definite a literature that has been well descriptive written, with great research and resources.
The way these authors treatment of this subject along with 'Biblical truths and wisdom will bring a healing that can change ones life.'
I will say this is one of the best self help books that I have had the privilege of reading!
By the end of this read...the reader will get a easy, enjoyable, and well as a fantastic read that I would recommend to all young married couples as well as old.
While there are certainly helpful components, this book is overly simplistic and there are some unhelpful/potentially othering gender stereotypes.
I recommend reading You Are the One You’ve Been Waiting for by Richard C. Schwartz instead for a much deeper understanding of how we love and what impacts the way we show up for ourself and our partner.
Truly, this book changed my understanding of what the hell was going on in my relationships, and why. If the Enneagram gave me language for how I am, this book / attachment theory gave me the language for why. I've probably bought How We Love for fifteen people. Kay and Milan are wonderful folk. :-)
While this is a marriage book, I read it for my own knowledge and growth, and it so helpful. Some of the book is a bit technical and repetitive. But the benefits outweighed that. So glad I read I this.
