Mars and Venus Starting over
by John Gray
Starting over after a painful breakup, a divorce, or the loss of a loved one can be the most challenging experience of a lifetime. Drawing on insights derived from twenty-eight years of counseling thousands of men and women in making wise choices in the process of healing their hearts, John Gray has once again written a groundbreaking book--one that abundantly provides guidance and comfort to those who find themselves single again. With the processes John Gray has developed in counseling and leading workshops, Mars & Venus Starting Over opens the door to finding a rich and fulfilling lifetime of love once again. The first section of the book addresses the part of the healing process that is basically the same for men and women. Dealing with the pain of a breakup or loss is not easy, and John Gray makes it clear that although the pain of loss is an inevitable part of life, suffering is not. He explains that the heart often lags behind the mind, that we must experience our grief in order to become whole again. He compassionately shows us how to find forgiveness and explains how good endings make good beginnings. Although the healing process is fundamentally the same, starting over on Venus is often different from starting over on Mars. Women tend to push love away to avoid getting hurt again. On the other hand, men often get involved right away, but have trouble committing. Part two, "Starting Over on Venus," explores the twenty-three common challenges women face, which include the new pressures of dating, glorifying our past, staying stuck in grief, overromanticizing, women who do too much, fear of intimacy, and putting children first. Part three, "Starting Over on Mars," deals with sex on the rebound, work, money, and love, living out fantasies, holding back, being in a hurry, bigger is better, and self-destructive tendencies--to name a few of the land mines men face on the road to healing. Mars & Venus Starting Over will inspire you to rise to the challenge of healing your heart and to move on to find an even greater love. You will fulfill your souls deepest purpose--to love and to be loved. There is hope! You will find love again...John Gray has helped millions of men and women develop better relationships with his phenomenal New York Times bestseller Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. Now he turns his attention to the millions of people who find themselves single again and compassionately presents a process for healing a broken heart. Here are just some of the issues and challenges John Gray covers in this supportive and practical guide to becoming whole again: Emiontal Lag TimeGrieving the Loss of LoveGetting UnstuckGood Endings Make Good BeginningsThe Feeling Better ExerciseFinding ForgivenessSaying Good-bye with LoveThe 90-10 PrincipleProcessing Our Hot Spots101 Ways to Heal Our HeartsStarting Over Date Around, but dont Sleep AroundGlorifyiung Our PastOverromanticizingFocusing on the NegativeWho Needs a Man?Women Who Do Too MuchFear of IntimacyMy Children Need MeAll or NotingStarting Over on MarsSex on the ReboundWork, Money, and LovePositive AddictionsWe Dont Have to Stop LovingSoul Mates Are Not PerfectCant Live With Them and Can't Live Without ThemHolding BackBigger is BetterSelf-Destructive Tendencies
10 Stupid Things Men Do to Mess Up Their Lives
by Laura Schlessinger
Mens stupidity is different from womens, explains Dr. Laura Schlessinger in her latest book. While women tend to obsess and overanalyze every issue in their lives, especially relationships, men take a different tack. Theyre clueless. Instead of thinking about their actions and the subsequent consequences, they walk around reacting mindlessly to the world at large. Fortunately for them, Dr. Laura is just the right person to shake them out of their stupor, and in 10 Stupid Things Men Do to Mess Up Their Lives she does just that. In 10 bracing, no-holds-barred chapters, she grabs men by their ties and speaks her mind on: Stupid Machismo -- not recognizing the difference between being a male and being a man Stupid Heroism -- saving "damsels in distress" and getting stuck with a loser or a "little girl" who will leave when she grows up Stupid Parenting -- thinking that children are "womens work" Stupid Matrimony -- getting married? Why? I dunno. And six other stupid types of behavior. Sometimes scathing, sometimes humorous but always wise, she provides commonsense guidelines to show men how to stop their self-diminishing actions, driving the message home with real-world examples taken from her radio show and private practice. If her opinions seem harsh or stringent, too bad. Dr. Laura isn't here to coddle anyone; she shoots from the hip. Men and the women who love them will be enriched by the honesty and wisdom of her spirited advice.
Love Must Be Tough

10 Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives
by Laura Schlessinger
Dr. Laura Schlessinger is the incredibly popular and controversial psychotherapist who hosts a nationally syndicated, top-rated midday radio talk show. She has strong convictions and doesn't hesitate to voice them to callers. She urges women emphatically to lose a domineering jerk of a lover and pick one of the "good guys," to stay home and parent the babies they've made, and to follow the dream rather than some dreamboat. Above all, she exhorts women not to blame anybody or anything but themselves if they're unhappy and their lives seem a mess. 10 Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives uses real-world examples from Schlessinger's radio show and private practice to drive the message home. And the message is that our reticence to be bold and brave often makes us act like stupid, submissive victims. Once we muster the courage to take responsibility for our own problems and to tolerate the discomforts of risk, the possibilities for personal growth and joy are limitless. If you're looking for an all-approving hand to hold, you won't find it here. If you're prepared to take a clear-eyed look at your self-diminishing behavior and to make the move to a quality existence, there's no one better than Schlessinger to keep you honest and to cheer you on. One thing's for sure: You'll never look at your relationships, behaviors and decisions the same way after you've finished reading this book.
Fighting for Your Empty Nest Marriage
by Dave Arp
The drive home was filled with silence and emotion. Emily and Dan had just taken their youngest child to college. Both of them were replaying years of images in their minds. "What's next?" They would glance at each other with a knowing smile, but inside they were afraid, excited but afraid. They knew this was an opportunity to rebuild their relationship, but how? Like Emily and Dan, empty-nest couples in record numbers are asking themselves: What can we talk about now that we've lost the emotional focus of our life? How can we revitalize our marriage? With the kids gone, what is my new identity? Where do we go from here? Fighting forYour Empty Nest-Marriage offers clear-cut instructions for dealing with one of the most difficult periods in any marriagežthe transition period when the children leave home. Based on the Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) and the results of a national survey of long-term married couples, this warm and helpful guide is brimming with practical suggestions and wisdom for learning to let go of the kids and preserving the sense of commitment, love, partnership, sensuality, and fun within a marriage.
