STOP SPOILING THAT MAN
How do you love a man without spoiling him? In the past, you've complained that your husband or boyfriend demands too much and gives back too little. He's evasive. He's a hypochondriac. He can't pick up after himself. But have you ever thought that perhaps it's you who's to blame for the spoiling? Or, at the very least, that you're unconsciously rewarding the very behavior you've been complaining about all along?

In Stop Spoiling That Man!, psychologist John B. Arden reveals how you can develop the skills to unspoil the man in your life and encourage him to be a more equal giver. With the help of his wife Victoria Arden, Dr. Arden explains how you can:

• Distinguish between a truly spoiled man and one who isn't

• Dissect the various ways that a spoiled man can control you

• Deal with such a man using a wide range of methods from Dr. Arden's counseling practice.

With practical suggestions, quizzes, and real-life vignettes, you can focus on enhancing your relationship and protect yourself from your man's whiny ways. With this book in hand, you can cut those apron strings once and for all.
