The Woman Men Adore... and Never Want to Leave

Image

115 pages | English | PDF
The Woman Men Adore and Never Want to Leave is quite a unique relationship book written by relationship expert Bob Grant. Mr. Grant is an actual therapist and has hours upon hours of real world experience in helping women with their relationship problems. This book is the culmination of years of his experience and advice from his practice in written form that he has put together in hopes of helping women repair broken marriages and relationships, or to put it bluntly, to help women get their boyfriend back or get their husbands back.

The book, "The Woman Men Adore and Never Want to Leave" points out that often women behave in ways that actually drive their boyfriend or husband away out of frustration or from months or years of suppressing their feelings. As a result, many women may behave in ways that men might view as being negative, clingy, needy or "bitchy" as a result of trying to hold in their frustrations. Mr. Grant points out and gives tips and tricks that a woman might use to bring a man closer and actually make him wish to please her and make life easier and better for her.

Bob Grant's work is rather clever and, as a man, I felt that the tools and tips that he gives hold value and would be effective if used in a relationship with me. I actually think that men might consider picking up a copy of this book and giving it to the woman that they love in hopes of improving their relationship. I would caution though that this must be done with some tact since it might be viewed as placing blame on the woman you love for issues in the relationship or marriage. I will say though that the approach that is given in The Woman Men Adore and Never Want to Leave would take much of the hostility out of a turbulent relationship.
