Creating Love Beyond Words: Straight Talk for Women About Men

With Pat Love, Ed.D

You’ll never get a closer marriage by talking to a man like you talk to your girlfriends. It’s not about “communication,” it’s about connection. Men want closer marriages just as much as women- The stereotype of the aloof or domineering male covers up the fact that he wants to be closer too, but not if he has to feel like a woman.

In this seminar Dr. Pat Love talks to women about how to get the love you want from the man in your life .

In this program you will learn:

  • 10 Ways Women Drive Men Away
  • About the emotional vocabulary gap- why it sounds phony when he says it
  • How to handle male emotions: hint- you can’t be too direct too quickly
  • The truth motivating the shut- down and controlling men, and what to do about it
  • Four nonverbal ways to connect with your man
  • New information about what brings men and women together, and what tears relationships apart
  • “Malespeak”- what he’s saying that you don’t hear
  • What a man would tell you if he could

Good Husband, Great Marriage: Finding the Good Husband in the Man You Married

with Robert and Jane Alter

After thirty-seven years of marriage and almost that many as therapists and marriage counselors, Robert and Jane Alter have concluded that in many cases men and women are not equally responsible for the problems in marriages.

Their experience suggests that mostly it’s the men who cause the disconnection. The wives always have some work to do on themselves, and sometimes a lot of work, but when it comes to knowing how to really be in relationship, how to have true connection and true intimacy in a marriage, the men are a piece of work.

Jane and Robert have also seen that there are many great men in this world who deep in their hearts want to be great husbands to their wives, and some have gotten off to a great start, but others have no idea, or a bunch of wrong ideas, about how to do that, and need some serious help.

Robert’s book, Good Husband, Great Marriage: Finding the Good Husband…in the Man You Married, and the Alters’ work, which they call the “good husband work,” is the help they provide.

In this program you learn:

• The definition of a good husband

• The five big lies men tell themselves to keep from changing

• The one-way street of change a man has to walk down in his marriage before it becomes a two-way street

• What women have to teach men about connection, relationship, and great marriage

• The wife’s role in helping her husband become a good husband

• How to get a guy to do the good husband work

How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It

with Steven Stosny, Ph.D.

Men are right. The “relationship talk” does not help. In this program Dr. Steven Stosny reveals the stunning truth about marital happiness:

  • Love is not about better communication. It’s about connection.
  • You’ll never get a closer relationship with your man by talking to him like you talk to one of your girlfriends.
  • Male emotions are like women’s sexuality: you can’t be too direct too quickly.

There are four ways to connect with a man:

  1. Touch
  2. Activity
  3. Sex
  4. Routines

Men want closer marriages just as much as women do, but not if they have to act like a woman. Talking makes women move closer; it makes men move away.

The secret of the silent male is this: his wife supplies the meaning in his life.

In this program you learn:

  • The same vulnerabilities that bring us together tear us apart
  • Why we fight
  • The worst thing a woman does to a man
  • The worst thing a man does to a woman
  • The Power Love Formula: 4 3/4 minutes a day to a powerful relationship

We recommend this book!
