The Innie and Outie Guide to a Great Relationship

We use the words everyday, but what does it really mean to be an introvert or an extrovert? And what does it mean to be an introvert in a romantic relationship with an extrovert? Can it work? Surprisingly, psychologists tell us that despite their obvious differences, introverts and extroverts can enjoy a strong, stable-and fun-relationship. The key to introvert/extrovert bliss lies in understanding what makes the other person tick and using your differences to help balance and enrich the relationship.

    This book offers advice for making it happen:
  • Learn how innies and outies process information and communicate differently
  • Discover ways to create a fulfilling social life for yourself and your partner
  • Find creative ways to blend decision-making and future-planning styles
  • Get past the dangerous question, why can't you be more like me?
  • Turn up the heat in the introvert/extrovert bedroom

The book is based on current scientific research and innie/outie interviews. The book is based upon the authors' personal experiences as a mixed couple-introvert Marti Olsen Laney and extrovert Michael Laney have been happily married for more than forty-two years. They must be doing something right!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's already helping my marriage immensely!! :), November 11, 2008
By 
This review is from: The Introvert and Extrovert in Love: Making It Work When Opposites Attract (Paperback)
I am only about 100 pages in with this book, and it has already changed the way I think about myself (100% Outie), AND about my husband (about an 85% Innie). I was starting to go down that dangerous path of 'Why can't he be a bit more like me at times?', and was not appreciating him for the differences that make "US" work. I now see that it's the way we think about our differences that counts.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is at that 'hmmmmmm....' stage in their introvert/extrovert relationship.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent followup to the first book, The Introvert Advantage., March 3, 2008
By 
Book Lover (Boca Raton, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Introvert and Extrovert in Love: Making It Work When Opposites Attract (Paperback)
This book is a great complement to the first book as it goes into the different types of relationships between introverts and extroverts. It includes the information that was in the first book but has the added dimension of exploring relationships.

I found it very insightful and helpful! Introverts and extroverts can have a good relationship if they understand the dynamics as explained in this book. Instead of resenting or feeling uncomfortable with a partner that is of the opposite type, understanding and appreciating differences can work in a great way!

5.0 out of 5 stars Introverts Dream Information, October 14, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Introvert and Extrovert in Love: Making It Work When Opposites Attract (Paperback)
There is so little information out there on Introverts. This book sheds light on the love relationship between introverts and extroverts. I am an introvert and have felt misunderstood all 52 years of my life. Not only should introverts read this but extroverts should too!
