Dear Friends:

The eagerly awaited book based on the groundbreaking work of Drs. Patricia Love and Steven Stosny has finally arrived. How to Improve Your Marriage without Talking about It: Finding Love beyond Words will be available in all book stores Jan. 16.

Men are right. The “relationship talk” does not help. How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It reveals the stunning truth about marital happiness: Love is not about better communication. It's about connection.

Drs. Patricia Love and Steven Stosny have studied an all-too-familiar dynamic between men and women and have reached a truly shocking conclusion. Even with the best of intentions, talking about your relationship doesn't bring you together, and it will eventually drive you apart.

Underneath most couples' fights, there is a biological difference at work. A woman's vulnerability to fear and anxiety makes her draw closer, while a man's subtle sensitivity to shame makes him pull away in response.

This is why so many married couples fall into the archetypal roles of nagging wife/stonewalling husband, and why improving a marriage can't happen through words.

How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking about It teaches couples how to get closer in ways that don't require “trying to turn a man into a woman.” Rich in stories of couples who have turned their marriages around, and full of practical advice about the behaviors that make and break marriages, this essential guide will help couples find love beyond words.

Patricia Love , Ed.D., is an acclaimed therapist and speaker and author of four books, including Hot Monogamy and The Truth About Love . She has appeared on Oprah and Today and on CNN, and has contributed to many magazines, including Cosmopolitan and Self.

Steven Stosny , Ph.D., is a therapist who specializes in men's issues and has appeared on Oprah in two highly rated shows on men and marriage. The author of five books, including, You Don't Have to Take It Anymore: Turn Your Resentful, Angry, or Emotionally Abusive Relationship into a Compassionate, Loving One , he, too, has appeared in the most popular national media.

Sincerely,
