Book Description
At the core of most marital conflicts lies an overlooked but vicious culprit: disrespect. According to Dr. James Dobson, this symptom is the most serious indicator of potential family breakup. In his groundbreaking classic that popularized the "tough love" principle, Dr. Dobson offers practical help for the spouse who wants to hold the marriage together. He shows how to rekindle romantic interest and draw the offending partner back home. For new generations faced with ever-increasing threats to stable and loving bonds, Love Must Be Tough offers realistic hope.
Have you tried everything to save your marriage?
You’ve forgiven a thousand times. You’ve bent over backwards to make your partner feel loved and accepted. But the only reward for your loyalty has been anger, indifference, infidelity, or abuse. Your spouse may even be ready to walk out the door.
Do you feel like all is lost? Are you ready to give up? There is still hope.
Dr. James Dobson’s “tough love” principles have proven to be uniquely valuable and effective. Unlike most approaches to marriage crisis, the strategy in this groundbreaking classic does not require the willing cooperation of both spouses. Love Must Be Tough offers the guidance that gives you the best chance of rekindling romance, renewing your relationship, and drawing your partner back into your arms.
Story Behind the Book
This book provides an alternative for those in the midst of family crises. It offers practical tools—tough boundaries based on love and respect—that can draw an apathetic husband or wife back in the direction of commitment. The wrong response in moments of crisis can smother the dying embers of love. On the other hand, human conflict, if properly managed, can be the vehicle for transforming an unstable relationship into a vibrant, healthy marriage.

Put it on your first aid shelf!.......2007-08-04
There is no stronger, more appropriate help for a troubled relationship than this book. It cuts thru the searching for help thru therapists, talk shows and anemic tv shows. I have used the one copy I have of this book to pass on to those who truely needed help with unfaithful spouses and friends, with the stipulation that they return it to me so that I can pass it on to others. All came away stronger and smarter. This book renews your strength and straightens your backbone. Please be brave enough to read it and practice the advice within. God bless you with clear thinking...
Great, Biblical Advice.......2007-07-14
This book was just what I needed, when I needed it. Unfortunately, I had to kick my husband out of the house for cheating only days after reading this book. This book gave me the strengh to do it and the belief that it would be the only way to save my marriage. We are now back together and working towards a better marriage than ever before.
Good, solid advice........2007-07-10
This book is for the spouse who is trying hold the marriage together while the other one wants out. It focuses heavily on infidelity and dealing with that monster, but even if you are not in that boat, it has plenty of sound advice.
Great advice, but The Divorce Remedy is better.......2007-06-28
I got this book right when I discovered my husband was having an affair with a coworker. I was pregnant and taking care of two toddlers, and totally devastated as I went through the nightmare of shock and grief that infidelity causes. I started out clinging to my husband, begging him to come to his senses. Then I got this book, and immediately told him he was free to go. It took tremendous pressure off, but it was excruciating to really let him go at a time I desperately needed him. The hardest part was just getting through the denial stage. it takes so long to actually come to grips that your spouse is so far gone. But once I did that I was able to put Dobson's advice to work. That was six gruelling months ago, and I have just found Michele Weiner Davis' book, The Divorce Remedy, which I WISH I had known about from the beginning. She isn't christian, but her philosophy is near identical to Dobson's. She takes you through a very emotion stabilizing, proactive, productive journey at a time when you feel totally powerless. Her book is about finding solutions that work; Dobson's is more about just the 'tough love' philosophy, with christian sensibilities.
If you find yourself in a similar situation to me you will find both books incredibly inspiring and encouraging. All I can say is that the more self respect and detachment I can muster up, the more my husband seems interested in sticking around. The more I cling, the farther away he goes. I have now experienced this phenomenon repeatedly over the months. Every time I am tough, it gets my husband's attention. I have made some big mistakes, and had some triumphs. I am still trying to wait out my husband's mid life crisis, and I am learning so much about respecting myself while I do so.
If you are neither comfortable with filing divorce, or being a doormat, you will find lots of excellent advice here.
James Dobson writes wonderful material.......2007-05-20
If you are a wife who is struggling with a husband who is not treating you right and will not hear anything you say, then order this book. Dr. Dobson will encourage you to be strong and do what needs to be done to see change come.
Two other books that will help severely troubled marriages are The Man of Her Dreams The Woman of His! and The Man of Her Dreams The Woman of His 2 - Livin' It and Lovin' It! (Volume 2)
God's best blessings to you!

Customer Reviews:
This one's the best!!.......2004-09-25
This book was wonderful!! I can't explain what great advice Dr.Dobson gives in this book. Basically tough love for marriages. My husband left for 8 weeks and finally came back - one of the reasons is because of this book. You cannot go wrong if you buy this book. It is a little religious, which I wasn't for or against, but it's practical sound advice.
Another great book that has somewhat the same principals as "Love Must Be Tough" is "The Divorce Remedy: The Proven 7-Step Program for Saving Your Marriage". This book was great too and had good advice on how to act towards your mate during the turmoil.
I read many many books during our crisis and these two were the best advice I got. Tough Love. Be strong!
Before & After.......2000-08-29
Before I read Dobson's book I was battling with varying emotions as I tried to figure out why my marriage had taken a turn for the worst.
This book was an excellent source of strength as I struggled to move forward. It felt as though I was the only person on Earth enduring these trials, but I quickly discovered that there were others like me. Dobson's Christian-based perspective and advice allowed me to see my situation in a new light. (I needed to stand my ground, at all times!!!)
After reading this, I wished that someone had given me this book prior to getting married. This book not only offers advice for struggling married couples, but for single individuals as well. (A sense of individuality is key, before entering a relationship.)
I strongly urge anyone with or without a love interest to read the guidelines provided in this valuable resource, in order to prepare for the day the "right" person enters your life.
An Awesome Reference for Anyone Contemplating Divorce.......2000-06-19
I would recommend this book to anyone who is suffering from the pains of infidelity/divorce in their marriage. It was partciularly helpful to me as I was separated from my spouse and wanting to make reason out of "chaos". Dr. Dobson "calls it like it is". His "Love Must Be Tough" process is the best advice I received from anyone including professional marriage counselors. I found myself so entrenched with this book that I could not put it down. Dr. Dobson's advice is scripturally based yet relevant to today. His advice is "REAL"! I found that it "hurt to read this book", but the result of my experience was truly liberating! I want to personally commend Dr. Dobson for his fine work! PRAISE THE LORD!
AMAZING.......2000-02-17
To recover dignity, respect, in a relationship and for yourself with the guidance and security of the pefect love.
It hurt to read it, but I knew it was true..........2000-01-12
This book stopped me from ripping myself to shreds and replaying my marriage, day by day and hour by hour in my head as I tried to figure out what I could have done to keep my husband from being unfaithful. It described all the characteristics that were playing out in front of my eyes. It explained the human aspect of how I responded to him and why he responded to me in a completely different way. It forced me to recognize where my strength lies and it's in that recognition that I found comfort and peace. I am the biggest sceptic and I analyze everything to the nth degree; this book put me in my place.

Drop the years.......2007-07-23
My wife and I became interested in Kettlebell fitness techniques and decided we would give it a try.
I ordered this for my wife who was over the age of 60. She has always been in fair physical condition, not a fitness freak but also not a couch potato. After a couple of weeks of this exercise plan the difference in her body and sense of well being was obvious. After about six months, she shocks most 40 year old women with her energy and appearance.
There is no doubt that she has reset the clock on physical aging with this plan.
too much ,too much.......2007-05-15
The content on the excersises is good, although there should be more shown. my biggest problem with this book are the pages and pages of what i call advertisement for the kettlebells. i can see one or two comments from people who have used and reccomend the kettlebells, but there are so many that it is distracting and annoying!! I might be less tempted to purchase another of his books if this is the format for all his books.
Kettlebells rule.......2007-02-16
Kettlebells offer unique advantages over other ways to exercise. Instead of alternating days of weight training for strength with aerobics for fat loss, you can do it in one workout, doing ballistics. Snatches, swings, cleans and jerks give you twice the exercise in half the time. There is also a remarkable carryover effect from kettlebell training onto other, seemingly non-related sports activities.
At the moment of writing this was the best book on kettlebells. The newer one, Enter the Kettlebell, is more elaborate and more hard core. This one is more suitable for the ladies, in my opinion.
Best workout ever!.......2005-08-02
When I first heard of kettlebells a couple months ago they seemed like they were for hardcore macho-man types--commandos, Green Berets, whatever. Not for me, a plump middleaged woman trying to get into shape and lose fat.
But then I found out about this book and video for women, and suddenly I knew I had to try it. I'm so glad I did!!!
Pavel's attitude is highly amusing as he milks the macho Russian drill sergeant schtick for all it's worth, but it's all tongue-in-cheek. And at the same time, he's giving priceless information and motivation about a training method that I'm sure will be huge once it catches on, because the results are so spectacular and quick and it's so physically satisfying and fun to do.
I ordered this book, the accompanying DVD, and one 15-lb. kettlebell to get started with, and I received them and started using them about a week ago. I can honestly say that this kettlebell workout is the greatest form of exercise I've ever tried.
I'd been eating a super-healthy top-quality diet for about five or six months and going to the gym and using the machines (both resistance and cardio) for about an hour to an hour and a half. Hadn't seen much in the way of results yet, despite my healthy diet and working out several times a week. I was feeling good, though.
But when I tried the kettlebell, it just ***blew away*** my gym workouts. I've been using the KB for about a week now and plan to cancel my gym membership ASAP. The KB stays in my bedroom and I use it at least once a day, sometimes twice, for up to 20 minutes at a time. It feels so good that I WANT to do it--and that means no more time-consuming trips to the gym for me.
I'm already starting to feel a difference in my body composition. According to Pavel, if you work out a lot with kettlebells you can shred up to 1% of your body fat per week, which is a LOT.
The book has a lot of pictures showing the correct form, which I like, and it explains the WHY's behind KB training, which helped me to quickly gain a basic understanding of everything KB-related without having to read the book cover-to-cover.
As for the DVD, I watched it through twice, and then started just skipping to the workout at the end, where the two women (DC and Andrea) are doing a freestyle KB workout as Pavel comments in the background. I watched that freestyle workout every day the first few days, as I did my own freestyle workouts, but now (yesterday and today), I've started just doing a freestyle workout to my favorite music instead.
I feel I don't really need the book or the DVD anymore, except for occasional reference. So, to me, I'd say the most valuable part of the three things I bought to get started (Pavel's book, DVD, and a kettlebell) was by far the kettlebell itself. You pretty much need to have either the book or the DVD, or both, to get started, however, because you need to learn the various drills, correct form, etc. The DVD physically demonstrates how to do it, whereas the book explains why and gives more detail. In my opinion you need both, although for me I think the DVD was more valuable.
These KB exercises are very different from dumbbell exercises. Way more fun, for starters! It just FEELS incredibly good to do the KB workouts. I get a flood of pleasant endorphins after only about 15 minutes, whereas it used to take me about an hour to achieve that at the gym. My flexibility has already improved a lot too--now I spring out of bed in the morning like a panther, rather than dragging myself around with morning joint pain/stiffness. After only a week of daily use!
I'm so glad I found out about working out with KBs--I know it will make a profound difference in my life and health. I'm telling everybody I know about them. I'm completely confident that I will be able to shed over 100 lbs. of body fat in a year with my kettlebell training. I'm so ready to become a FEMME FATALE!!!
An Evolution In Method.......2005-07-28
"From Russia With Tough Love" represents an evolution in Pavel's methods of teaching kettlebell techniques. "The Russian Kettlebell Challenge" was male-oriented, taught basic exercises and then said "Have at it." "From Russia with Tough Love" is designed for women, assumes that the reader is an absolute beginner, starts from ground zero, and builds an effective workout step-by-step. I recommend "From Russia with Tough Love" for anyone, male or female, who is just starting out with kettlebells.

How is an annulment different from a divorce?
Are there too many annulments granted today?

Straight Answers to Tough Questions.......2007-03-25
A comprehensive and understandable treatment of a very complex subject
Nothing new.......2007-02-19
If you want a quick one stop source for most answers you need then this might be the book for you. It is an easy read and well organized but no new information than what I found elsewhere on the internet.
And, as the title suggests, this book offers little 'advice' on how to speed the process, what keys pieces of information the Church may be looking for to expedite the review or advice to those who may have a legitimate case but be light on the required supporting information.
I've found more answers researching internet blogs and speaking directly with my church.
Annulment erases what a civil divorce cannot and never can.......2006-09-26
An act of annulment is a spiritual rite of making null and void a transaction - in this case of marriage. It is not a divorce which is a legal declaration that obligations between two parties has ceased. Annulment is on par with marriage in the sense that it dissolves the vow and pledges spoken to create the marital covenant. This is a major distinction. Once a bride and bridegroom take vows to each other in front of a priest in a church in front of all their friends and families .... It is not a promise, a contract, or an agreement, it is a sacred divine vow, a permanent spiritual binding union of two souls. A fusion of two people into one. Annulment is a spiritual erasure of that vow. So non-Catholics who must go through the process to marry a Catholic will learn how to understand this process. It is a second chance to get it right once and for all.
Clear, No-Nonsense Explanation of annullments.......2006-07-25
This book explained the entire annullment process in terms a layperson could understand. The book is divided into question/answer segments, all relevant and easy-to-understand. The best resource I've found on an often confusing topic. A must-read if you are considering annullment or need to answer those who question the process.
Customer Reviews:
Hilariously Melodramatic.......2006-06-12
The only thing this book is good for is getting high with your friends then reading the dialogue aloud. The thought that anyone actually believes or takes the "situations" in this crap serious is so befuddling it's scary. This is nothing more than propaganda for some strange religious cult. I don't know about you but if I'm going to buy a book to help me with my kids it's going to be by an expert, not some failed fiction writer.
Great book!.......2002-02-28
I bought this book in the 80's and it did wonders for me! It helped me to get control of "me" again... and I went forward with my son from there.
Description.......1999-07-19
Having a child addicted to alcohol or drugs is one of the most heartbreaking and challenging problems that parents may face. Here, in a revision of her bestselling 1982 book, Neff offers practical, loving and completely updated help to those struggling with that situation. Although the specific 12-step program that Neff stresses does not exist everywhere, parents can adopt the principles she outlines and form support groups with other parents. Central to Neff's approach is "detachment from the abuser," which entails allowing the abuser to "bottom out" without "padding the corners" (often called "enabling" in other references). This method, argues Neff, provides one of the few hopes for the abuser and his or her family. It is also terrifying, however, to parents who lack the support and distancing of the tough-love approach. By far the largest part of Neff's book is devoted to the stories of seven families who have faced the crisis of the addicted child and come through it stronger and more spiritually intact. In short, this book should be required reading for every parent with a child in trouble.

Life is Tough but God is Faithful is one of the most touching books I have ever read. Sheila Walsh always tells the honest truth about life and how God controlls it all. It will help you through the pain to see how God can change lemons in to lemonade. Sheila shows you that God in in charge, and lets Him truly speak through her.

The Richardella-dulcisica, better known as the taste berry, is a unique fruit.

With all the confusion, turmoil and heartache that teens experience, they need "taste berries" more than any other group.

The book is divided into units on self-worth, self-respect and self-esteem; friendship; love and meaningful relationships; finding meaning, purpose and direction in life; giving, sharing and making a difference; encouragement and success; and coping with pressure, stress and tough issues. Real teens reviewed this book and the authors completed it with the collaborative feedback of those teens. This innovative approach enables Taste Berries for Teens to show teens - by means of the responses and reactions of their peers, rather than the rhetoric of adults - what it means to be a "taste berry" and to appreciate the "taste berries" in their lives.

Taste Berries for Teens--a unique combination of timeless and heartwarming narratives, teen responses and reactions, and the authors' own loving and wise commentary and advice--is sure to become every teen reader's constant guide and trusted companion.

My thoughts on "Teen Berries".......2005-03-23
When I saw this book in my school library I just picked it up thinking it would be just like all the other "chicken soup for the soul" books. This book is about life, love, friendship, and tough issues of a teenager. This book really touched me with all the stories. I believe this book isn't as good as any other "chicken soup for the soul". But the writings are up there. They still touched me. Some made me cry, some made me laugh, and some made me mad. I recommend this book to other teens that are going to these problems of life.
uugghh.......2004-11-01
When I saw this book I was really excited because I thought "another chicken soup for the soul book!" Well I was wrong! I couldn't believe how corny and fake the stories were. and the themes created by the authors throughout the chapters made it even worse. The book claims to be original but it is really a take off of the chicken soup for the souls and an awful one at that! i havent even finished the book yet and i don't think i ever will! if you want to read REAL stories by real teens then the chicken soup for the soul books are the way to go!! not these books!!
A Few Shinning Moments.......2004-03-23
Taste Berries For Teens was just like any other "Chicken Soup" book. If you do not tire from reading these stories of hardships and achievements,then Taste Berries For Teens is great for you. Though, I found it a bit dull; it did have its shinning moments. The shinning moments in the book were brief and strong. Taste Berries For Teens made me become a slightly better person.
Book Description
Like its 300,000-copy-selling predecessor, this book deftly combines teen contributions and responses with the commentary and sensitive advice of coauthors Bettie B.

A valuable and sensitive guide for adult children........1999-04-29
This is the best book I've found on the adult child's dilemma when a family elder's care requires nursing facility placement. It covers a breadth of feelings and responses of both the adult child and the elder, and gives sensitive guidance.
