Improving Passion Through Great Communication

Author Name: John Gray

I am delighted that readers will once again, or for the first time, be able to learn the best way for spouses to communicate and understand each other through this book.
The great success of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus* and the Mars and Venus series is living proof that we are all frustrated by our inability to communicate our thoughts and desires in a correct and successful way to our life partners, and most of us continue to cling to the hope that we will discover new and good ways to communicate with each other and understand each other.
In fact, the secret to lasting passion lies in first understanding our own unique needs, and then understanding the different needs of our partners. Often, when we fall in love, our passion is automatically aroused because we assume that all our needs will be met, despite the fact that we don't really know the person we think we love well yet. Our passion usually wanes when we discover that this person isn't ideal and can't meet all our needs.
In fact, true love doesn't require perfection. It requires accepting and understanding the other person, recognizing their flaws and everything about them. This only becomes possible when we first learn how to identify our own needs and ask for what we desire in our relationships and our lives in general. In doing so, we discover that increased awareness of our partner's needs gives us the motivation to rekindle our passion in our relationships and maintain them. By developing good communication skills, you will not only get what you desire for yourself in your relationship, but you will also gain more wisdom and patience to understand the needs of the person you love. In my experience, men automatically offer women what they value most, while women offer men the support they see fit. However, what a man desires isn't always the same as what a woman desires. For example, intimacy is a priority for a man in a marital relationship; therefore, he believes this is what matters to a woman as well. However, in reality, a woman may have many other basic requirements—such as affection, communication, and understanding—that come before her other desires.
Throughout the pages of this book—as is the case in the Mars and Venus series, which addresses different ages and stages of relationships—you'll find practical solutions that will allow you and your partner to live a life filled with love. Of course, the conflicts you face won't disappear, but the good news is that you can justify them and then contain them. When there's tension in a relationship, it's very common for both parties not to know what to do to make things work better. This book will provide you with a detailed communication map that will help you review and better understand things.
