Use features like bookmarks, note taking and highlighting while reading The New Rules of Marriage. Terry Real creates a modern, systematic view of human relationships regarding how they work and why, and why our attitudes towards human interaction, whether it's marriage or any other type of relationship, need to be reexamine and redefined. I've done a lot (A LOT) of reading about psychology and relationships over the years, and this book has really clear, actionable explanations of some esoteric concepts found in many other (much more boring) books.

The New Rules of Marriage will introduce you to a radically new kind of relationship, one based on the idea that every woman has the power to transform her marriage, while men, given the right support, have it in them to rise to the occasion. As a general book-junkie and frequent reader of topics on health, psychology, fitness, relationships, business, philosophy, cognitive science, and occasionally even a good old novel....I can say without the slightest hesitation that this book is a gigantic stand out from the regular sludge of self-help / advice lit out there.

Terry expertly balances some theory (more accurately I should say thought-models) with practice, anticipates and addresses the likely challenges and objections, provides genuinely interesting and realistic vignettes for each sub section, and left me feeling as though I had truly learned something utterly new: how is it that we can affect the course of our love-relationships unilaterally, how you can initiate a change by understanding how you are perpetuating the problems that plague your relationship.

He does not preach, he even ends the book with a realistic assessment of when its time to split, but you’ll actually know if you’ve really done all that is humanly possible or not. We have never wanted so much from our relationships as we do today. "Would you rather be right or married?" I say skip the Gottman and just read this. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. This book has really opened my eyes to how so much of the conflict happens in my marriage. The pain of doubt as to whose to blame for what, whether to endure or depart, how to diffuse conflict, etc etc etc...all so very well described. We have never wanted so much from our relationships as we do today. The unloading may feel better to the dumper but the damage to the relationship in the process can often serve to make things worse.
