Love Sense – Book Review
Sue Johnson has done it again! What remarkable research in the field of relationships. I think the reason I appreciate Sue’s work so much is it is not just gimmicky advice. She clearly explains, in a reader- friendly way, what the current research on love tells us. She demonstrates what we know about love and how it makes sense, and she provides real, conversational examples of couples that find their way out of disconnection to a safe and lovingly attached relationship. The examples she uses in Love Sense really are inspirational. They are just normal people, like you and me, who have found the answers and made it work.
I purchased the audio book and Audible as well as the hard copy. Some audio books are so painful to listen to, but Sue’s soothing voice made my driving kids to and fro much more pleasant. It was actually really cool – I would arrive somewhere and have her words so fresh in my mind that I found them making an instant impact. While I like the hard copy to highlight and refer back to, I would highly recommend the audio version. I think there is something really powerful about hearing her tone and expressions.
It is clear that Sue is a leader, if not THE leader in the field of Couple Relationships and that she not only knows the other research out there, but she is contributing to the current research and raising the standard of what acceptable results are in terms of creating and maintaining love.
I would recommend this to everyone who wants to understand and improve any relationship.

Hold Me Tight Book Review
Many people ask me if I can recommend a marriage book for them.
Without hesitation, the book I continually refer to is Dr. Sue Johnson’s Hold Me Tight.
Dr. Johnson is an international leader in the field of marriage and family therapy. Over the last 15 years, she has pioneered significant research into what creates secure, loving connection in adult love relationships–and into understanding how it goes wrong.
Hold Me Tight is different from other self-help books in that it is not just “good advice” or a gimmicky approach to understanding men and women. Rather, it is a book designed to help you understand yourself and your partner on a much deeper level.
