Why read it?

4 authors picked The New Rules of Marriage as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Terrence Real tells it like it is, and his frank and forthright manner is something I truly admire. I got so much from this book because it is practical and motivating. I felt challenged and empowered to be more loving in my relationships, to recognize my own unhelpful behavior, to understand that certain habits can destroy a loving partnership and that great relationships take time to build—and that’s okay.

It's full of bullet points and tools, which I appreciate and can apply more easily, and he also has a strong message for men in his book, something that is lacking…

From Charisse's list on how to create a great relationship.

I picked up this book about 12 years ago. Being a psychotherapist I love, love learning. I love attending workshops (pre-covid) and learning new ways of thinking. New ways of looking at issues. New ways to look at how we get stuck in our relationships and life. Reading this book gave me tools that have transformed my therapy practice and how I work with couples. How I interact with my husband, my sons, and my close friends. It helped me by giving me insight into who I want to be in a relationship and it gave me self-worth as well.…

I absolutely worship the ground this groundbreaking therapist walks on. Terrence Real is the go-to guy not only for anyone whose relationship is in trouble but for anyone who wants to have a better relationship. I have always struggled with relationships and I wish I had known about Terrence Real’s relational therapy model twenty years ago. Perhaps my first marriage wouldn’t have broken down! I am passionate about couple’s therapy exactly because relationships breakdowns can be one of the most painful experiences we as humans have to go through. Learning how to relate in a healthy way to others is…

Marriage and Fatherhood in the Nazi SS By Amy Carney,

When I was writing this book, several of my friends jokingly called it the Nazi baby book, with one insisting it would make a great title. Nazi Babies – admittedly, that is a catchy title, but that’s not exactly what my book is about. SS babies would be slightly more…

Terry provides the reader with straightforward tools and insights for transforming relationships.
