Run buy this book for your home reference library! A must have! Couples LOVE getting this as wedding presents. July 17, 2008
Florence Littauer's series of books on personalities are all well-written page-turners that clarify different type people. Her information is well referenced and explained with anecdotes that entertain and illustrate her points. My training is in Psychology, English and Sociology and she met every critical angle I gave her books. Hearing her speak in person is even better than her books. I realized what a valuable gift her book would be for engaged and newlywed couples and every person I've given her books to has thanked me and said they understood their spouses so much better.
I recommend stocking up on this book to have it ready to give at a moment's notice for couples who want to appreciate or even improve their relationships. - Lucy

Fantastic "Marriage Mini-course"! June 12, 2008
Learning to understand your mate is one of the easiest ways to pave the way to a better marriage. This book uses the "personality model" known as the Temperaments, made famous in earlier decades by Tim LaHaye. A facinating, fun jump start for your marriage!
Excellent Personality Resource March 7, 2008
This is a must read for every couple. The information in this book changed my mariage, and it can do the same thing for everyone who reads and understands the information on The Personalities.

My marriage was in a very rough place, in fact I was planning to divorce, when a friend introduced me to Florence Littauer's books.
My husband irritated me, everything about him had begun to rub me the wrong way. I felt like nothing would ever change, and it was hopeless. This book was instrumental in helping me understand why we were so different, and why he acted and behaved the way he did. I am Choleric with some melancholy, and he is Phlegmatic with some melancholy. It showed me my own strengths and weaknesses, and how to understand, accept, and appreciate my husband's strengths and weaknesses.
In the end it helped us both to communicate better and enjoy each other more. Now, over a decade later, we are still together and stronger than ever. The principles still apply, and we joke that his "melancholy is showing" or that I'm "being Choleric".
I also found it helped me to better understand my relationships outside of marriage too- including my children's personalities and quirks.
I recommend this book regularly to other couples who are looking to improve their marriages, need to improve communication, and want to understand each other better, and have given copies as wedding gifts.

I have been familiar with the work of the Littauers since the 1970s. It is because I am so impressed with their work that I purchased three in her series to give as gifts to friends.
My husband and I were exact opposites on the personality charts. Our marriage was very rocky. After we understood what was causing the sandpaper we were able to get to the polished product which was a very enlightening and healing process.
The principles in this book made it possible for us to communicate in a style acceptable to us both and we resolved our problems from there. I recommend these books to anyone who wants to relate better with not just their husband, but family, friends, and business associates--And ourselves! We were able, at last, to create the loving and supportive home environment which had been our intention from the beginning.
