Honest Review of 50 Secrets To A Blissful Relationship

50 Secrets To Blissful Relationships - Book Review

Let's face it, there are thousands of marriage counselors and millions of relationship self-help books. So what makes 50 Secrets of Blissful Relationships by Michael Webb any different?

Let's find out:

First of all, it's great to see that, unlike many other authors, Michael Webb let's you inside his world. You get real-life examples of ways to solve relationship challenges, all based on his own personal life.

Second, unlike many other “experts” and marriage counselors, Michael Webb walks the walk. Michael Webb has never had a fight with his wife of 15 years, Athena. Inside this book, you learn exactly what he's done to make this a reality. Everything you read, he does or has done to improve his relationship, and that's what I really wanted to see - experience and real-life practice.

The book itself is simply set out with about one tip per day and just continues like this until the end of the book. Just about every tip had me shaking my head in agreement, as it gave me real-life solutions and several of those “a-ha” moments of profound understanding.

The only real down side of the book is that every tip is set out with the same formula: story or unrelated example, followed by how that example ties into relationships and that exact topic.

If you're impatient or in a hurry, you can always start about halfway down and find out exactly what point he's trying to make.

Also, instead of the tip titles providing a clear “how to solve X problem” or a clear topic description, it simply has a phrase that ties together with the information. Now while this is no big deal, it would have been nice to be able to skim the book to exactly the advice I wanted. Although if you read the information on the sales page, you can work out what information belongs where in the book. So it's not too bad.

All in all, this is one of the best relationship books I've ever seen and it definitely deserves a read, especially if you have serious problems in your relationship.

Fear of Intimacy - How to Overcome It and Have a Closer Relationship

Would you describe your relationship as intimate?

You may be thinking of sex, which is definitely an intimate act, but not the definition of intimate.

It's almost a cliche that men fear intimacy, but it's not always true and it doesn't have to be for you.

While men may have a bit more trouble with sharing their inner feelings than women, women are not immune to it.

Do you even want intimacy?

Some couples are comfortable having a more superficial relationship. They relate on a more surface level and seem to be happy with that. If you are in that place and are thinking something is missing, it's likely that you are missing a deeper level of connecting.

How to define true intimacy:

• Personal conversations on a regular basis
• Mutual trust
• Ability to rely on each other's confidentiality
• A deep emotional connection
• Emotional exposure
• Both people open - become vulnerable

People desire closeness to different degrees.

Those who want it and go after it are happier and better adjusted in their marriage and in their work.

How to develop intimacy:

1. Use our feelings for good - we need to identify our feelings and be able to express them. In addition, if your partner is able to express their feelings to you it's important not to judge them or criticize them. By accepting them you enter into a deeper understanding of each other.
   
2. Self-awareness - Once you can understand your feelings, thoughts, needs, and behaviors you are much closer to being able to understand those of your partner. Being able to share these with your lover builds closeness. This awareness should help you be in tune with others needs and is the opposite of being self-absorbed. Becoming attuned to ourselves may show us that that there are changes that need to be made, which will help negative behaviors as well.
3. Compassion and empathy - Showing empathy means being able to experience "walking in their shoes", not just being sympathetic to them. Your partner will feel like you really understand them and are there for them. You may need to work on learning and practicing true empathy. It calls for you to be genuine, really listen to your partner and not be judgmental. It really can be learned and you will be able to be compassionate when your partner needs it.

You may have to work hard at getting intimate with your partner.

It takes practice. A willing heart and attitude goes a long way. If you are craving more closeness and connectedness in your relationship, it is worth working on it.

Maybe you feel like you are the only one trying?

3 Techniques To Save Your Relationship

Healthy relationships are a big part of what gives us a fulfilling life and even allows us to live longer. Since everyone is different keeping a relationship healthy can take a lot of work. We're all different people with different thoughts, interests, dreams, and aspirations, as well as our own quirks and personality traits that can sometimes clash with others. When it clashes with a significant other the results can cause rifts and separations that may not have happened if the two of you weren't so close. When this rift happens knowing what you need to do to fix them can get you back to being happy again with your partner.

These rifts left unchecked can cause the relationship to end. Lingering misunderstandings can further re-enforce any problems still left unresolved. In time you may not remember what it was you were originally angry or frustrated about, but still hold the emotional baggage that comes after a fight or sticky misunderstanding. Knowing how to fix these things, even in their advanced stages, will help you patch up your relationship to the happiness it used to be and make both of you feel a lot better at the end.

1. Two To Tango. In order for a fight to happen there must be two participants. Communication and interaction with your partner are of utmost importance in a relationship. If this suddenly comes to a stop after a bad fight the reasons for it need to be looked into and ironed out. Once the root of the problem is found you need to take steps to repair the rift between the two of you so you can both move and put the conflict behind you.

2. Keep The Relationship Fresh. It's not uncommon for things to become predictable and stagnant in a relationship. Spicing things up by surprising your partner or a short weekend get-away can renew the passion again. Random surprises and spur of the moment adventures will give you new memories to share and look back on. You can discover many new facets of your partner's personality you didn't know about from these random acts of excitement as well.

3. Accepting There Is A Problem. If you two are fighting pretending everything is ok isn't going to solve anything. Ignoring these conflicts won't make them go away and pretending they didn't happen won't assure if the same thing is brought up again another fight, probably more heated than the first, won't happen. Find ways that you and your partner can identify the problems between you two that need to be remedied. Once you know where the difficult areas are find a way to compromise to fix the problem.

Understanding these basic reasons misunderstandings happen will go a long way to fix the problems you have now and quickly stop any more conflicts from becoming bigger than they should be. Remember, you both want things to be peaceful, fun, and exciting between the two of you, so when conflicts arise that means something needs to be addressed to restore that peace and comfort zone. The sooner you act to fix it the better.
