Love Busters: Protect Your Marriage by Replacing Love-Busting Patterns with Love-Building Habits Hardcover - 2016

by Willard F. Harley


From the publisher

A Classic Resource from Dr. Harley--Now Revised and Repackaged to Highlight Six Changes in Habits That Will Save Your Marriage

According to relationship expert and bestselling author Dr. Willard F. Harley, Jr., after couples get married, they often develop habits that slowly undermine the love they have for each other. If tolerated, these Love Busters--selfish demands, disrespectful judgments, angry outbursts, dishonesty, annoying habits, and independent behavior--will destroy a couple's love for each other. The solution, however, isn't merely to avoid these negative behaviors and attitudes. Rather, it's to cultivate Love Builders--positive habits that will strengthen the relationship.

With Dr. Harley's expert guidance, couples will be able to avoid the major causes of marital unhappiness and disappointment. Instead of tearing their marriage apart, they will learn to build it into the marriage they had needed and wanted. This book is a perfect companion to His Needs, Her Needs and will be useful to pastors, counselors, and couples.

From the rear cover

Turn love-busting patterns into love-building habits

After couples are married, they often begin to act in ways which undermine the love they feel for each other. They make demands, show disrespect, become angry, are dishonest, act thoughtlessly, and develop a host of annoying habits. If tolerated, these Love Busters will destroy a couple's love for each other.

This life-changing book, which has been completely revised and updated, will teach you how to replace those destructive Love Busters with Love Builders--positive habits that will strengthen your relationship. You will learn how to:

- turn selfish demands into thoughtful requests
- turn disrespectful judgments into respectful persuasion
- turn angry outbursts into controlled reactions
- turn dishonesty into radical honesty
- turn independent behavior into interdependent behavior
- turn annoying habits into pleasing habits

Whether you are newly married or seeking to revive a marriage of many years, learning to eliminate Love Busters and cultivate these love-building habits will deepen your love and affection for each other--for a lifetime.
