Unlike so many other books on personal relationships, The Loving Man goes against popular wisdom and even expert opinion. Not only can a woman change a man's behavior, says Dr. Smith, it's the right thing to do. The Loving Man provides a complete, step-by-step approach and supporting philosophy to help women develop the emotional strength needed to bring about positive changes in their husbands. A controlling man, a selfish man, a thoughtless man, even an abusive or unfaithful man, can all be lovingly influenced to change their ways. Your husband doesn't have to help; in fact, he can be downright resistant to change, or even unaware of your plans to change him. According to Dr. Smith, we all have the power to influence change in those who need us. As long as you are using this power in such a way that you and your partner are growing in love and self-fulfillment, it is the right thing to do. Dr. Smith explains True Love and how it influences a man in positive ways, while manipulation does the opposite. Not only will your man benefit...so will you. An indispensable book for all women.
