Publisher's Description
Grow your relationship through conversations that make a difference. New York Times bestselling author Susan Scott guides couples through eight must-have conversations to create a fierce love that stands the test of time and grows stronger over the years. Often in our romantic relationships, we long for deep connection, but we don't know how to communicate well and sometimes withhold what we're really thinking and feeling. This can lead to fighting, resentment, or, worse, complacency--where you are just going through the motions, more like roommates than two people in love. As Susan writes, "It's as if we've pulled off our own wings." As couples, we don't stop to think how important our conversations are. And we certainly don't understand that what we talk about and how we talk about it determine whether our relationships will thrive, flatline, or fail. In Fierce Love, New York Times bestselling author Susan Scott guides couples through eight must-have conversations that lead to deep connection and lasting commitment. Through the use of true stories and hands-on exercises, Susan helps us understand that the conversation is the relationship; identify and dispel five relationship myths that mislead and derail us; learn eight conversations that are critical to enriching relationships; and stop fighting or ignoring issues and start connecting in a deep and meaningful way. After a season where many relationships were tested and tried, where some relationships thrived and others have exposed cracks couples didn't even realize were there, or realized but didn't acknowledge, now is the best time to learn to communicate well. By having honest, compelling conversations with our partners, we can foster true connection and a fierce love that will withstand the test of time and grow stronger over the years.

After identifying the myths of love, she offers a model, and a list of the conversations authentic lovers should have. Bereft of romanticism and filled with directness, this book will help any couple live their relationship in a different way. We recommend it to all couples who want to move from good to great.”
“In Fierce Love, Susan Scott candidly addresses an issue that commonly plagues many of our romantic relationships: lack of deep, vulnerable, and honest conversations.

“In a time where many people are struggling with their relationships, we need voices that provide us with the courage, clarity, and skill to nurture our relationships and resolve recurring issues. Whether we are married or dating, we all need to have the conversations that may have eluded us. As I often say, in order for us to be great at anything, we need instruction. Susan Scott provides the necessary instruction while serving as a sisterly friend, with a great sense of humor, who helps us connect with our intimate partners at a deep level.”
