How to Say It to Your Kids by Paul Coleman (Prentice Hall Press, 2000)

The New Rules of Marriage: What You Need to Know to Make Love Work This is the outstanding new book from renowned couples therapist Terrence Real. If you were to happen by the Mothering office, chances are you'd see any one of our editors glued to her copy, an "Ah-ha!" look in her eyes. A feminist, Real is all about women's empowerment—and helping men become capable of the deeper intimacy women are demanding. After 20 years of watching couples hash it out, his insights are right on target. He outlines five common destructive patterns of communication and behavior, then offers strategies for helping men and women ask for and give each other what they want and need. If you have relationship woes, put this on your gotta-get-it-now list. (Ballantine Books, 2007)
