I have people ask me all the time, “What is the secret to a happy and lasting relationship”? And with the thousands and thousands of relationship books and marriage counselors available, you can probably have that question answered a thousand different ways.
Recently, I came across the book, “50 Secrets To Blissful Relationships“, and the author, Michael Webb (The Love Expert on the Oprah Show!) really nailed the answer to the above question. Michael did a great job and wrote the book using his real life experiences and his day to day relationship challenges.
Also, unlike many other “relationship experts” and marriage counselors, Michael Webb walks the walk. Michael Webb has never had a fight with his wife of 15 years, Athena. Inside this book, you learn exactly what he’s done to make this a reality. Everything you read, he does or has done to improve his relationship, and that’s what I really wanted to see – experience and real-life practice.
The book itself is set about describing one tip per day and just continues like this until the end of the book. Just about every tip had me shaking my head in agreement, as it gave me real-life solutions and several of those “ah-ha” moments of profound understanding.
The only real down side of the book is that every tip is set out with the same formula: story or unrelated example, followed by how that example ties into relationships and that exact topic.
If you’re impatient or in a hurry, you can always start about halfway down and find out exactly what point he’s trying to make.
Also, instead of the tip titles providing a clear “how to solve X problem” or a clear topic description, it simply has a phrase that ties together with the information. Now while this is no big deal, it would have been nice to be able to skim the book to exactly the advice I wanted. Although if you read the information on the sales page, you can work out what information belongs where in the book. So it’s not too bad.
All in all, this is one of the best relationship books I’ve ever seen and it definitely deserves a read, especially if you have serious problems in your relationship.
