Can anyone recommend any SHORT books on..

[monkeytrousers]

..relationships and joint parenting that also importsntly don't have any soppy spiritual crap in.

Someone on here recommended the 10 New Rules of Love but it's so badly written any nuggets of wisdom are completely lost. And it's the size of fooking Anna Karenina!

So, short and rational/athiest.

DP has the emotional intellegence of a fruit fly - not that I am sure there is such a thing as measurable emotional intellegence but it's the thin end of the wedge in this genre as far as I can tell.

Thanks in advance

Hi
Have just read a couple of short books by Rob Parsons. You are meant to be able to read these in an hour or less.
You can see them here

The quick ones are the 60 minute Marriage, 60 Minute Father and 60 Minute Mother. Good and concise. A bit American but not too bad!!

Thanks, Sounds good but in the reviews he's banging on about god.

I just found these on the relate website - just in case anyone else is looking for something similar

www.amazon.co.uk/Staying-Together-Crisis-Deeper-Commitment/dp/009185671X/ref=pd_si mbtitle_3

www.amazon.co.uk/Better-Relationships-Practical-Relate-Guides/dp/0091856701/re f=pdsbsbimg2

and this

www.amazon.co.uk/Relate-Stop-Arguing-Start-Talking/dp/0091856698/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b

The Rob Parsons books do mention God etc but, I just ignore all that. The info/help from the books is still good.

Dp wouldn't go near them though and it's him that needs the help...even though I do say so myself
