This book is great for many first time parents. It's hard to believe that children can be a threat to a marriage but it's true. I's not so much that children cause problems but they create situations where choices have to be made. When couples disagree on the choices it can lead to cracks in the relationship. In this book, Harley gives a roadmap to the land mines of the early childhood years. I would recommend this book to anyone contemplating having children. Many of the concepts in the book are covered in the original His Needs Her Needs book which is excellent for engaged and newly married couples. It would be best to familiarize yourself with the basic needs before delving into this book.

Written by a nationally acclaimed clinical psychologist Willard F. Harley, Jr., His Needs Her Needs For Parents is a helpful and thoroughly "user friendly" advice guide to keeping romance alive in a marriage while simultaneously raising healthy, well-adjusted children. A practical resource, with asides useful especially for troublesome situations such as dealing with ADHD in children, the unique challenges that blended families face, and coping with "intrusive in-laws", His Needs Her Needs For Parents is highly recommended reading for any of today's parents who are struggling with the effects of the stresses and strains of modern life within themselves and their families.

I'd recommend this book to couples who are first-time parents or for those about to become first-time parents. I especially benefitted from the reminder that my husband's needs are not always the same as mine!

If you bought His Needs, Her Needs you really don't need to buy this one. Harley just repeats the same things from his first bok all over again.

I felt completely ripped off.

Fantastic read. I have been married for over 23 years and I have found things that helped me understand my spouse and be a better husband. Everyone who is married or about to be married should read this book to build up defenses to protect your marriage.

This is an excellent book on marriage. It helps women see things from the husband's perspective and it helps the husband too. Along with Debi Pearl's Created to Be a Help Meet, you will have top knotch help for your troubled marriage.

This book was great. As I read it , I was so glad to see that other women are just like me. My husband read it and it radically changed the way he treated me. He just needed to understand where I was coming from and what I needed. Men and women are so-ooo different. I have also been enlightened as to what his needs are, and try to meet them better. I have recommended this book to MANY couples whose marriages are in trouble or could just use a boost! I believe that if you apply what it says ,it can save a failing marriage.

A must have for all men. Yes I am a big hairy winning machine lol I swear to you as sure as god made little green apples this should be a prerequisite for any man intending to have ANY relations with a female, and especially a girlfriend fiancé and eventually wife. I say this after 12 years of marriage It is a must read and must understand from my point of view. If you care about your woman and or other women in your life I would suggest you make it mandatory reading material. I have promised myself to reread it every two years. Men are not built with sensitivity this helps a man identify the things he's missing by design

I ordered these books for a couple whose therapist had told them to read the book. I have not been informed about their opinion.
