Personality Plus for Couples: Understanding Yourself and the One You Love Paperback – Illustrated, 1 Oct. 2001

My husband and I are two very different personalities and have had many conflicts throughout our marriage. Understanding the different personalities helps you to realise that the other person is not just annoying or out to get you, they are coming from a totally different perspective that you didn't even dream of, because if you said what they said, it wouldn't mean what it means coming from them! Everybody subconsciously assumes that other people react the same way as they do and this book shows how that assumption is wrong, in a very easy to read format with lots of laughs throughout. It gives you the ability to enjoy each other's strengths and help each other's weaknesses without resentment or bitterness.

Excellent

This is a fantastic life tool. It is easy to use and understand. Quick test and quick results to help you discover more about yourself and those in your life. It doesn’t excuse behavior but explains it. It’s a great wedding gift.

I really enjoyed this book as an extension from Personality Plus. It helps you understand other personalities, and take a step back and reflect on whether someone is responding based on their personality, rather than being nasty. It is great for any relationships, not just romantic.

Good food for thought! It basically classifies the human nature/ personality into 4 types. It helps you identify your inherit personality type and of your spouse. It talks about typical circumstances where couples tend to clash like finances, chores, children upbringing etc. and explains how on account of differences in personality how different couples react during these clashes and how to resolve the clashes keeping the same differences in personality in mind. Most importantly the book talks about accepting each ones (including yourself) nature and behavior and working around it to achieve happiness in life.

Not only that, but helped me deal with the in-laws/out-laws. Everyone should read one of Littauer's personality books- this one or any of them. This was recommended to me at the lowest point of our marriage, about the ten year point, when I began to think every negative thing my parents had said about my husband was true. Perhaps they had a point, but all the reasons I fell in love with him were still there, only the stress and pain made them difficult to remember. The author is a hoot and tells many personal stories to illustrate the personality types. As I was reading I had many "ah-ha moments". I enjoy and appreciate all personalities now and have a clear warning for those who might make my life unpleasant. This really helped me to be accepting of myself and everyone I know. I have had all my children read it, and personality is a part of our daily conversation. We will be celebrating our 23rd anniversary in June and are the best of friends, and more in love than the day we said, "I do."

Its a must have
