Books like Emotional Infidelity by M. Gary Neuman


M. Gary Neuman, a marital therapist who has guided thousands of couples through his Sandcastles Divorce Therapy Program, argues that the real barrier to a great marriage is not poor communication but emotional infidelity—when partners invest emotional energy in work, friends, or secret flirtations instead of their spouse. Drawing on a ten‑week counseling practice, Neuman offers eleven actionable secrets, plus a bonus tip, to re‑center couples around shared goals, clear boundaries with the opposite sex, and renewed love. By systematically applying these weekly practices, partners can reconfirm their commitment, re‑energize their relationship, and create a more fulfilling marriage.

The Mother Dance by 7264611|Harriet Goldhor Lerner book cover

📘 The Mother Dance

From the celebrated author of The Dance of Anger comes an extraordinary book about mothering and how it transforms us -- and all our relationships -- inside and out. Written from her dual perspective as a psychologist and a mother, Lerner brings us deeply personal tales that run the gamut from the hilarious to the heart-wrenching. From birth or adoption to the empty nest, The Mother Dance teaches the basic lessons of motherhood: that we are not in control of what happens to our children, that most of what we worry about doesn't happen, and that our children will love us with all our imperfections if we can do the same for them. Here is a gloriously witty and moving book about what it means to dance the mother dance.
