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

by Willard F. Harley Jr. Narrated by Dr. Willard F. Harley Jr.

Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

11/15/2016
Proposing the concept of a "Love Bank" into which a person either deposits or withdraws emotional support in a relationship, Harley (He Wins, She Wins; Love Busters: Overcoming Habits That Destroy Romantic Love) delivers guidance for reviving a floundering marriage. He explains that withdrawals from the metaphorical bank are made with selfish demands, disrespectful judgments, angry outbursts, annoying habits, and dishonesty, while deposits include actions that make the other person happy. Ergo, the goal is to perform more deposits than withdrawals. Harley outlines the many ways in which spouses can enjoy a more pleasing and romantic relationship. Verdict As with most self-help books, the onus is on oneself to change, and this is no exception. Harley suggests practical yet soul-searching approaches to doing this.
