Many people believe that without a fulfilling
relationship, happiness just doesn't exist. If so, then what
is the key to a fulfilling relationship? How can you find the
right woman? After finding her, how can you build your relationship?
Once established, what are the challenges involved with maintaining
a happy relationship? You want to learn about the essence of
a great relationship. Is it sex? Is it how much time to spend
together? Is it based on an agreement about closing the toilet
lid? The questions are endless.
Let's start at square one: ask somebody who has a happy relationship
how did he find the right woman? "I saw her and I knew at once
that she was the one," is a common answer. That's great, but
how did this lucky guy realize that he had found his partner?
What did he feel? Did his heart beat wildly? Did his eyes pop
out of their sockets and did he hear angels singing? The answer
isn't as simple as "I just knew she was the one." The first
part of this book tells you something about these secrets.
Assuming you mastered the first challenge and have already
found that perfect woman, you might think that the most difficult
part is over. If so, you'd be wrong. Building a relationship
is at least as hard as finding your partner. The risks are high
in this phase: if you don't succeed in building the relationship,
you'll almost certainly lose the woman who should be your partner
for life. The risks are the same for her, provided that she
agrees you're the one. If she does, she will certainly do everything
to make your relationship a happy one. The second part of this
book will help you learn the secrets of building a happy relationship.
So, you've found the right woman and you've built a happy relationship.
You're ready to relax and just let things happen, right? Well,
if you did that, you'd be mistaken. It's commendable that you
have a happy relationship and that you're pleased with yourself.
But, if you don't actively manage your relationship, you might
easily wake up one morning and learn that something has gone
wrong. Maintaining a happy relationship is as important as building
one. The third part of this book will help you learn about the
care and feeding of your relationship. With that knowledge,
you'll be able to keep your relationship happy.
The last part of this book is for someone who, unfortunately,
woke up one morning only to discover that his relationship was
in tatters. A happy relationship doesn't break suddenly: it
won't happen overnight. The challenge for you is to recognize
the symptoms of a deteriorating relationship early on. Depending
on the quality of your diagnostic skills, there is a good chance
that you'll be able to troubleshoot your relationship and repair
it. In the last part of this book, you'll learn to recognize
some of these symptoms and understand what you can do when you're
faced with turbulence in your relationship.
This book reveals what men can do to strengthen and maintain-and
in some cases repair-their relationships. A happy relationship
requires that both partners care, and that both do what they
can to achieve the common goal of a happy life. This book was
written predominantly for men, although much of the guidance
it contains will also interest women! Without doubt, women must
do quite a lot in order to create an environment in which both
partners are happy — but that isn't the topic of this book.
This book is a man's guide to a happy relationship.
