El Amor Deber Ser Firme Book

My boss loaned me this book that she read when she was going through her divorce. I wondered what in the world she was loaning it to me for. I'm not married, or anywhere near it, so I completely didn't understand. It sat on my bookshelf for a long time until I eventually decided I would just read the introduction so I could return it and say that I at least gave it a chance. However, this book was great! As I discovered in the intro, it is a book that is good for relationships in general, not just for marriages in crisis. I also think that, after having read this book, if I encounter any of these problems when I am married, I might better know how to handle them. I loved the format of real-life letters included and then Dr. Dobson's commentary. I feel his advice was not what I expected, but was practical and he well justified why he counseled his patients to react certain ways to problems. For example, if your spouse seemed as though he/she was becoming less interested in you, instead of smothering them with your affections, back off, get a life, and give them a little space. They will inevitably rediscover their interest in you. I put this to the test with my boyfriend at the time and it worked like a charm. It was funny too. We do these things when we're dating, but often forget them after being in relationships. It was a great read with very practical advice.
