Synopsis

According to relationship expert and bestselling author Dr. Willard F. Harley, Jr., after couples get married, they often develop habits that slowly undermine the love they have for each other. If tolerated, these Love Busters--selfish demands, disrespectful judgments, angry outbursts, dishonesty, annoying habits, and independent behavior--will destroy a couple's love for each other. The solution, however, isn't merely to avoid these negative behaviors and attitudes. Rather, it's to cultivate Love Builders--positive habits that will strengthen the relationship.

With Dr. Harley's expert guidance, couples will be able to avoid the major causes of marital unhappiness and disappointment. Instead of tearing their marriage apart, they will learn to build it into the marriage they had needed and wanted. This book is a perfect companion to His Needs, Her Needs and will be useful to pastors, counselors, and couples.

I've wavered back and forth between giving it 2 or 3 stars (if I could I would've given it 2.5 stars), but in the end the strengths were just so few considering how flawed it is. Love Busters is heterocentric, and perpetuates old and tired stereotypes of gender essentialism. It advocates complete ho......more

In this book, the Author describes five behaviors that he says destroy romantic relationships as well as friendships. He calls them love busters.

Goodreads review by Marjanne on January 27, 2017

While I thought this book was a worthwhile read, I don’t feel like it changed me much. Dr. Harley has some good ideas for resolving marriage conflicts, as well as how to maintain a romantic relationship. However, I’m not sure I agree with everything he suggests and I probably won’t be integrating al......more

Love how practical and informative this book is. Some favourite passages: “What starts out as a caring and thoughtful relationship often disintegrates into thoughtlessness” “In marriage, you have an unprecedented opportunity to make your spouse happy” The policy of joint agreement: Never do anything......more
