The School of Life Press Stay or Leave: how to remain in, or end, your
Book SynopsisWhether we should stay in or leave a relationship is one of the most consequential and painful decisions we are ever likely to confront: few other issues will have such power to trouble us. What makes the issue so hard is that there are no fixed rules for judgement. How can we tell whether a relationship is ‘good enough’ or plain wrong? How do we draw the line between justified longing and naivety? Is sex vital or could it be foregone? Does someone ‘better’ actually exist? How much should the feelings of children be counted (and what might they be in the long term)? Could one’s partner change, perhaps with therapy, or should one assume that who they are now is who they will always be? All these questions typically haunt our minds as we weigh up whether to stay or go. With no axe to grind or ideology to promote, this book walks the reader gently through their options and opens their mind to perspectives they might not have considered. The goal is to help clarify what the reader wants deep down so the answer that emerges will be properly attuned to their unique circumstances and (often very private) aspirations. Here is a tool that carries the promise of the clearer and less compromised future we deserve. This book aims to take the reader towards a time, presently hard to imagine, when the choice will no longer feel so agonising. Using its lessons, we can understand ourselves deeply, consider our options, minimise our regrets and find the way ahead.

Specialty Press, Incorporated, U.S. OCD and Marriage: Pathways to Reshaping Your
Book SynopsisThe premise of OCD AND MARRIAGE is simple: an OCD caregiver and sufferer can successfully manage symptoms and improve their quality of life and their marital relationship. OCD does not have to take over a marriage. The three aims of this book are to (a) encourage individuals diagnosed with OCD to face the disorder head-on together with their spouses in creative ways, (b) permit married couples to reach out for support, and (c) seek relation-based healing that complements established, evidence-based OCD therapies. Rather than approach coping with OCD from a clinical perspective, the authors choose to offer sufferers and their spouses a resource they wished they had when they struggled with the myths, barriers, and impact of OCD. Central to this is a focus on strengthening marital relationships through active, creative communication. This focus on communication highlights our belief that living with OCD is a family affair by which everyone affected -- whether care giver or sufferer -- can survive and thrive.Table of ContentsForeword i What Others Say iii Preface v Authors’ Note viii How to Use This Book ixSection I: Understand OCD in Your Marriage 1Chapter 1: Our Stories 3 Chapter 2: What Makes a Good Marriage? 11 Chapter 3: Defining OCD and Its Subtypes 17 Chapter 4: Do's and Don'ts of Accommodating OCD in the Marriage 35 Chapter 5: Our Levels of Awareness: How did We Know? 39 Chapter 6: Mindfulness and Treatment 45 Chapter 7: Examples From Our Experiences 51Section II Six Ways to Rebuild Your Marriage 71Chapter 8: Pathway One—Six Ways to Rebuild Your Marriage 71 Chapter 9: Pathway Two—Address Emotions in the Relationship 77 Chapter 10: Pathway Three—Improve Communication 83 Chapter 11: Pathway Four—Get Treatment for Both of You Chapter 12: Pathway Five— Find Your Voices 92 Chapter 13: Pathway Six— Rebalance and Reignite Romance 101 Chapter 14: All Pathways: Evaluate the Implementation of Your Action Plans 105 Chapter 15: Interactive Exercises 109Section III: Tools and ResourcesConcluding Thoughts125 References 159 Index 165

Book SynopsisDude to Dad: The First Nine Months contains absolutely no expert advice or medical guidance.You can read about mucus plugs and colostrum elsewhere. What you will find is a candid, quick and often irreverent roadmap for making the most of your own personal transition from Dude to Dad.“I had just landed in a rickety prop plane on a dirt runway on an island in the Arctic Ocean off the north slope of Alaska. I picked up the satellite phone to call my wife and let her know we had survived the most aggressive part of the trip. She told me that she thought she should take “the test.” Little did I know that the journey had just begun. . .”Trade Review"Few parenting books have been as honest, funny and true as this look at what happens to a man the moment he becomes a dad! Sure, there have been thousands written about the moms of the world, but finally the male side of the parenting coin is getting the attention it deserves!"—C.C.

Familius LLC Refined by Fire: A Journey of Grief and Grace
Book Synopsis“Where is the handbook for widows?” Mary Kenyon lamented as she planned a funeral for the beloved husband whose triumph over cancer she chronicled in Chemo-Therapist: How Cancer Cured a Marriage. During the ensuing weeks, as she attempted to make sense of his untimely death, she filled two journals, blogged, and read the inspirational writings of others who had gone down the road of grief before her—authors like C.S. Lewis and Madeleine L’Engle. She eventually found herself studying grief and bereavement in her quest to unearth answers to alleviating the pain associated with profound loss. In the process, she discovered a strength and emotional reserve she didn’t know she had, along with an evolving faith that helped her face the impending loss of an eight-year-old grandson.“In the midst of the darkness of loss, I found light. Admittedly, in those first weeks, it might have been but a single small spark I sensed deep inside of me, but that spark guided me in the twisted, dark journey of grief. As I stumbled over the roots of hopelessness and despair, that light grew to illuminate my path, a path I sometimes felt very alone on. At some point in the journey I’d turned around, and there was God."That is grace.”In beautiful prose, touching metaphors and stories, and actual journal entries, Mary Potter Kenyon provides a balm for the grieving soul.

NEWTYPE Publishing This Is How We Do It: Making Your Marriage A
Book SynopsisThis is How We Do It!This is How We Do It, but to Montell and Kristin Jordan, this phrase is more than just the title of one of Montell's most popular songs. It is a clear statement about how they have approached every day of their more than twenty years of marriage.When the couple entered a marriage covenant together in front of God, family and friends years ago, divorce was never an option, and today it is still not. That is quite a stance in a world where divorce is just as accepted (even celebrated) as marriage is, but the Jordans hope to inspire others to see the joys, rewards and peace that comes from marriage through their new book, This is How We Do It! Making Your Marriage a Masterpeace. Focusing on providing humorous but straightforward Christian marriage counseling, the Jordans highlight important factors to consider, whether you are single, engaged or are married, to help define God's plan for marriage to others.Scripture is included throughout Masterpeace to educate readers on how the word meets the world to reveal the covenant blueprint for marriage, God's reasoning for bringing man and woman together, and how children are to be raised in a godly manner. Faith is important to the Jordans and, as expressed in their book, kept their marriage strong through challenging times in career, family and walks with Christ.Readers also will get a glimpse of the first meeting between Montell and Kristin, seen by both as more comical than romantic, but that lead to the realization of God's intervention in their lives to make them one. It's not just a celebration of how God brought two people together into a lasting marriage; This is How We Do It is a teaching lesson to all couples that marriages determined by God are meant to last into eternity.

White Pine Press Secure Your Own Mask
Book SynopsisThese poems balance between the harrowing and the beautiful, hovering at the precipice where women are both horseback riding heroines and battered mothers striving to protect their homes, their children, their identities. These poems are knives thrown with precision, fairytales rendered real through the grit and dirt of the natural world surrounding their imperfect speakers. Social media helps us grieve our losses (“suicide, suicide, suicide”) and white rabbits lead us down the winding roads of our past mistakes (“Until / a man just became an escape hatch to another man, / and all the worlds were eventually the same”). Transformations abound in this collection, though not by any conventional fairytale means, as Shaindel Beers with her knife-sharp wit and even sharper intuition unveils the nuance within the nuance of any situation. These poems don’t just seek escape—they create their own worlds within the escape hatches and (re)build from there.Trade Review“From the opening poem of Secure Your Own Mask, whose speaker confuses ‘ringing/ and wringing,’ I was hooked. This book does both: it rings and wrings. In searing lyrics, Shaindel Beers explores beauty and violence, and the voyeuristic impulse toward and unhealthy human appetite for both. ‘The world as it was before/ no longer exists,’ but the poems do exist, and they are not only unflinching but also open, even warm, despite it all. Secure Your Own Mask is a remarkable collection. These poems are quite literally death-defying.”—Maggie Smith, author of Good Bones “With the cries of bird wives, farm wives, beaten wives, and in almost wrecked lives, the wonderful poems of Shaindel Beers shimmer and sing. “How much of love / is love?” these scintillating works of art ask, their inquiries the kinds of questions the survivor of a wrong marriage doesn’t want to ask, and must—because urgency is the meter of this heart, because the thrumming of poetry has the power to heal.”—Alan Michael Parker “Consider this book’s imperative title as you enter the world of Shaindel Beers. How many times have you heard that phrase within the flight attendant’s spiel but never thought to yourself, There’s a poem there? For Beers, however, experience and the language with which we negotiate it are fraught, suggestive, ironic, and yet clear as the air above the clouds. The world we share with her hands her raw material—a child, pelicans, lovers, a drunken cowboy, an old house, and yes, particular words—and she proceeds to build these exquisite living machines of language we call poems. They unmask what it means to be really alive. Read, and listen, and be dazzled.”—Robert Wrigley

Carpenter's Son Publishing Connect: How to Love and Accept Yourself After
Book SynopsisTransformational and Wellness Expert Dawn Burnett has an impressive track record for helping people heal their pasts so they can transform from victim to victor. Like all of us, however, she has had a life filled with trials. The child of divorced parents and a survivor of abuse, she was in a toxic marriage that nearly took her life. These events, and the discovery that thought patterns and experiences are linked to health conditions which was revealed during her studies as an alternative medical practitioner, led her to a wake-up call. She left everything she knew, took her two kids, dog and belongings and drove seven states across country for a fresh start, a beautiful journey of accepting and loving self. Along the way, she charted a course to ultimate transformation and wellness on a path filled with valuable insight on personal relationships. She recognized that becoming trapped by the toxic emotions of our past can weigh down our spirit and sabotage any chance we have at happiness today or in the future. The result is Connect, a powerful book that provides effective ways to address key issues facing serious relationships. Filled with her personal triumphant story, and nine contributing authors, it reveals: the destructive patterns we create in relationships; the many ways we unintentionally sabotage our relationships and why we find ourselves settling for less than what we deserve. The solution is an empowering plan readers can implement themselves to heal their own hearts, fulfill their dreams, and find meaningful and lasting bonds with self and others. An opportunity for readers to finally connect to what they say they want—without compromising their authentic self; an opportunity to live their truth so they can thrive instead of cry.

Book SynopsisToday’s women are asking, where have all the “good men” gone? And it is no wonder. Over the last decade, with female empowerment they got a fairer shot at equality, but have they really gotten what they wished for when you throw in the family responsibilities, dual jobs, and the rise of the single mom? Have all these gains made women happier or more fulfilled while men’s primary role in society reduced to become “female compliant”? The author has also observed that as men and women age they also differ in the way they approach life. Women tend to want more and men tend to want less. Is this difference in mindset compatible? Regg dives into equal rights, sexism and living in this new age of male decline and female assertion.

BenBella Books Make Your Move: The New Science of Dating and Why
Book Synopsis“A powerful confidence boost well worth the read.” —Manhattan Book ReviewModern romance is broken. It's time to flip the script. Apps have transformed dating from a mysterious adventure into a daily chore. Young, single, college-educated women are sick and tired of competing for a shrinking supply of guys. And marriage-material men, long expected to take the lead when it comes to asking women out, are suddenly balking at making the first move, fearing they'll come across as creepy or inappropriate. Society is changing, which means it's time for dating to evolve. Millennial and Gen Z women are more than capable of seeking out what—and who—they want. They're standouts in the classroom and champions on the playing fields. They're leaders in the workplace and trailblazers in city halls, state houses, and Congress. So why would we tell a generation of badass women that they're not allowed to be bold when it comes to finding love? Why should they have to sit back and wait (and wait and wait) for men to find them? In Make Your Move: The New Science of Dating and Why Women Are in Charge, Jon Birger, author of Date-onomics, offers women bold new strategies for finding the one. Backed by research showing that women can win at romance by making the first move with the men of their choice, Birger explains why: • It's better to choose than to be chosen • The "play hard to get" method is not only outdated but grounded in bad science • The first move does not have to be a big move • It's time to log off of dating apps and date men you actually know • The workplace can be a terrific place to meet a long-term romantic partner • . . . and more! Make Your Move is an honest, solution-based guide to finding love that lasts. If you're tired of playing by old rules, look no further: Make your move and win.Trade Review"Make Your Move is perfect and perfectly timed for me, personally . . . I will now go forth bolder than ever! With data and real-life examples of women who have taken command of their dating lives, Make Your Move will give you the skills and the confidence you need to win at love." —Ylonda Gault, author of Child, Please: How Mama's Old-School Lessons Helped Me Check Myself Before I Wrecked Myself "As a dating coach of 15+ years, I have always recommended that female clients take control of their love lives and witnessed how that consistently leads to more matches than a chivalry-led strategy. Make Your Move expertly outlines this argument and gives women the tools to find quality partners in this changing dating landscape." —Damona Hoffman, advice columnist for the LA Times and host of The Dates & Mates Podcast "Dating's old 'rules' don't work anymore. Today's new era demands a new guidebook for how to seek and create lasting relationships. Thankfully we have Jon Birger, who weaves analytical research, exhaustive reporting, and fun storytelling into practical counsel that moves past all the outdated thinking and tired advice on dating." —Sridhar Pappu, "The Male Animal" columnist for the New York Times "Jon Birger's new book explains why traditional dating advice fails so many of these women—pushing them to play games or conceal career goals just to land a man. I highly recommend Make Your Move to women who are frustrated with the state of modern dating." —Dr. Lynn Westphal, chief medical officer of Kindbody and former director of Stanford University's Fertility Preservation Program "In his seminal Date-onomics, Jon Birger showed how the dating odds are stacked against even the most accomplished women. In Make Your Move, he's reshuffled the deck so that single women have the upper hand. In the high-stakes dating game, Jon Birger offers modern women a winning chance at love." —Melanie Notkin, author of OTHERHOOD: Modern Women Finding a New Kind of Happiness "Jon Birger brings an economist's scientific rigor and a magazine writer's lively writing to the topic of romantic relationships and the high-achieving woman's search for love. If Freakonomics and Liza Mundy's The Richer Sex had a love child, it might be Make Your Move." —Stephanie Mehta, editor in chief of Fast Company "If you're frustrated with the transactional approach to romance fostered by dating apps, Jon Birger's new book offers a refreshing alternative. Navigating the dating world through the lens of science, Make Your Move gives successful women tools and solutions for finding marriage-minded, romantic partners. An honest and compelling read, Make Your Move provides reassurance and hope for singles looking for their dream match." —Amy Andersen, founder of Linx Dating and "the matchmaker of Silicon Valley" as dubbed by Vogue "Smart, fun, and fast-paced, Make Your Move blends anecdotal storytelling about finding love with the latest research on the biology and psychology of dating—research that debunks so much of the conventional wisdom women have been raised on. If you're ready for a new approach for finding a partner, buy Make Your Move!" —Jean Chatzky, bestselling author, financial editor at Today, and host of the HerMoney Podcast "Jon Birger seamlessly weaves together stories, scientific research, and compelling advice on rethinking the outdated gender norms preventing many single women from finding meaningful romantic relationships. With its counterintuitive but critically important message, Make Your Move is a dynamic read for single women of all ages." —Marcia Inhorn, professor of anthropology at Yale University and leading expert on rising global demand for infertility treatmentsTable of ContentsContents Preface: First, a Little Backstory Chapter 1: Breaking the RulesChapter 2: Suitor’s AdvantageChapter 3: Men Like Women Who Like ThemChapter 4: Date Who You KnowChapter 5: The Make Your Move Offline Dating ChallengeChapter 6: Long Live the Office RomanceChapter 7: Get ’Em While You’re Young—or They Are!Chapter 8: Second Time Is a CharmChapter 9: Uncheck the College BoxChapter 10: The Reluctant Groom Conclusion NotesAcknowledgmentsAbout the Author

Book SynopsisDrawing from their extensive world-wide research into what makes a successful marriage, Drs. David and Vera Mace introduce the Primary Coping System, three timeless strengths which can simultaneously bulletproof and invigorate today’s marriages. Launched against the backdrop of a world-wide economic depression and the devastations of World War II, the Primary Coping System was designed to build strengths in families through improving the relational health of the married couple. These effective strengths transcend time and their relevance is presented in interview form by Drs. Britton and Bobbye Wood. Their mentors, the Maces, founded the global organization, originally called The Association for Couples in Marriage Enrichment and now named simply Better Marriages. Derived from candid and insightful interviews with the world-famous Maces, this can be the go-to book for couples who, like these marriage pioneers, are “strongly autonomous and have the courage and resolution to go after what they want.”
