Fierce Love

Read by the author. Grow your relationship through conversations that make a difference. New York Times bestselling author Susan Scott guides couples through eight must-have conversations to create a fierce love that stands the test of time and grows stronger over the years. Often in our romantic relationships we long for deep connection, but we don't know how to communicate well, and sometimes even withhold what we're really thinking and feeling. This can lead to fighting, resentment, or worse, complacency--where you are just going through the motions, living more like roommates than two people in love. As Susan writes, "It's as if we've pulled off our own wings." As couples, we don't stop to think how important our conversations are. And we certainly don't understand that what we talk about and how we talk about them determine whether our relationships will thrive, flatline, or fail. In Fierce Love, Susan Scott guides couples through conversations that lead to deep connection and lasting commitment. Using true stories and hands-on exercises, Susan helps us to understand that the conversation is the relationship; identify and dispel five relationship myths that mislead and derail us; learn eight must-have conversations that are critical to enriching relationships; and stop fighting or ignoring issues and start connecting in a deep and meaningful way. After a season where many relationships were tested and tried, where some thrived and others exposed cracks—including those that couples didn't even realize were there or realized but didn't acknowledge--now is the best time to learn to communicate well. By having honest, compelling conversations with our partners, we can foster true connection and fierce love. An accompanying checklist is available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
