How to love a man without spoiling him? That's the question millions of women are asking themselves. They complain that their husbands or boyfriends demand too much and give back too little, and yet these women are often the ones doing the spoiling. Or, at the very least, they're unconsciously rewarding the very behaviour they complain about.In "Stop Spoiling That Man", Dr John B. Arden and his wife, Victoria Arden, reveal how women can develop the skills to unspoil their men and encourage their men to be more equal givers. The authors explain how to: distinguish between a truly spoiled man and one who really isn't; dissect the various ways that spoiled men control women; and, deal with such men using a wide range of methods.With practical suggestions, lists, quizzes, and real-life vignettes, "Stop Spoiling That Man" helps readers focus on relationship-enhancing and self-protecting skills.

Love your man, don't spoil him,
This review is from: Stop Spoiling That Man!: Turn Your Needy Guy into an Equal, Loving Partner (Paperback)
Every fulfilling and satisfying relationship requires a bit of give and take. However, if you are responsible for all of the giving and he is enjoying all of the taking, you're guilty of spoiling your man. Spoiling is not the same as nurturing or loving. Instead, it places his needs above your needs. The spoiled man is happy to let you make all of the decisions, do all of the work and bear the responsibility for maintaining all aspects of your relationship. This unhealthy imbalance will eventually leave you feeling unsettled, unsatisfied and unloved. If your mate has taken up permanent residence on the couch in front of the TV with a snack and a beer (that you gave him), getAbstract suggests that it's time you read this book. Here, you'll learn how to recognize the ways in which he manipulates and controls you. You'll also find strategies to launch an "unspoiling" campaign. Although some of the maneuvers recommended by husband and wife authors John B. Arden and Victoria Arden seem a bit devious, they might just be what your spouse needs to be a mature man, not a pouting prince.
