When I bought this book -- I honestly thought that it would affirm that most of the things that I knew about relationships was true -- and that I could use it to add to what I already know. But, after reading it straight through -- I realized that there was A LOT that I need to learn -- and A LOT that I need to change about my own personality -- to have the beautiful long-time relationship that I am trying to build right now. I keep this book with me at school -- and I look at it every now and then to keep myself on track with the progress that I am making within myself. Dr. Elmore provides the insight that guys need to have, and has made it easier for me to understand how to give and get the best in a loving and committed relationship! Thanks, Dr. Elmore!!!

I am a Black woman. I was very impressed that Dr. Elmore addressed each subject with practical steps on getting started. If you feel like you need a place to start or improve on loving the woman in your life, start with this book. I know it titled for a black woman, but this will get you started for ANY woman. Great job Dr. Elmore. Men I encourage you-no, I challenge you to read this book.

This is an excellent guide for Black men to use to improve their relationships with Black women. As is often the case, us men folk tend to take our women for granted and figure that it's not worth the hassle to work to improve our relationships with them. This book helps in that regard.

I'm what is considered a "giver" according to Elmore and have made efforts to let my true feelings become known rather than to keep the peace between myself and the sister that I'm with right now. Indeed, the exercises he recommends call for some level of soul-searching and may make some folk uncomfortable; however, if one is willing to grow and learn in relating to Black women, then this book is for you.

Enjoy!

Next to Maya Angelou and Iyanla Vanzant, Dr. Elmore has written several books that actually and authentically help African-American men and women understand each other better. There are cultural differences that are not apparent to many other races about Black Love and relationships. Black men and women have historically gone through hell both in the world and with/because of each other. Dr. Elmore helps build a bridge of understanding that goes beyond someone just stating, Respect your Woman or Respect your Man. He actually discusses it and then gives plans of action for (in this case) a Black man to start relating to, loving, respecting, protecting, and nurturing his Black Woman... Young and Old Black Men need this book! Please don't be discouraged-you can learn to love your Black Woman in a way that is WONDERFUL for the both of you! Nuff Said... -ed-

This book is highly recommended for those who are seeking a how to have a fulfilling life with their woman. This book is not what you think it is about. A list of rules on how to pamper, feed, and love you woman. This book is about how you as a man need to learn how to deal with the type of person you are when seeking a man and learning how to undo some of those things. I am not giving anything away. You have to have an open mind. Because if you're seeking a bashing on black women- then you may just want to look some where else. This is an excellent read. I even bought, How to love a black woman for my husband and we are both reading. A good teaching tool for ALL BLACK MEN

My God! I wish I'd read this book @ birth! LOL... I've learned so much about myself, good and bad characteristics. It's funny how you can learn so much from a complete stranger, it's like we've talked before. Thanks Dr. Elmore! This book needs to be read by EVERY MAN in an relationship or marriage, so that we avoid so many problems we face because of our ignorance. It's truly an eyeopener for those that are sincere about having the most out of their relationship and or marriage. I'm only on chapter 21 and so excited, I am going to finish it and read it again! I WANT to know exactly what I'm doing this time. I recently bought "How to Love A Black Man" for my wife. I hope she gets out of it what I've gotten out of "How to Love a Black Woman" so we can get back together and start over, knowing exactly how to love one another like children of God.

This is a book I definitely enjoyed. It's not some corny, step-by-step joint. Dr. Elmore did a great job of, for one, forcing the reader to look into the mirror at our own faults and insecurities. If one is able to do so and recognize they need work, then you should be able to read this with an open mind. Also, it should be much easier to take his words and advice and apply them to your situations. He is able to make something which we tend to complicate...extremely simple. There were plenty of times while I was reading when I saw something he said and knew I was guilty of this, or did that well, etc. He does a tremendous job of showcasing what we do in a positive light while also pointing out the various areas in which we need work and should pay closer attention. Plus, it shows how men can benefit from doing this, and the costs of doing that. There are times when you may read something and feel it's something you knew, but it helped me to know another person was thinking the same thing. It's pretty detailed in it's approach, but easy to take in. This is a book which should be read by every black man who has a genuine and sincere interest in building better and more loving relationships with Black women.

Overall pretty good book and a good investment for black couples. I've used this as a guide in my marriage and when i was dating.

I bought both How to love a Black man and How to love a Black woman. I gave the How to love a Black Woman to my partner while I started reading How to love a Black man. Both of us then exchanged what we had gotten from the books and had a deep conversation for hours on the issues brought up in the book. I learned about myself and about the pysche of a Black man. My girlfriends are waiting to read it with their mates!!

A great book for the brothers. Our reading circle debated it for hours. The next month we selected LaDawn Black's Stripped Bare for the ladies. These books are great companion pieces.
