This is Your Brain in Love by Earl Henslin

This book is based on the premise that in order to be the best lover that you can be to your spouse, you need to be your best. In order to accomplish that you need to recognize any problems in your brain that may be hindering your ability to respond to your spouse in an appropriate and loving way. Henslin chose five different types of problems that can be present in the brain and affect the way we respond to each other. He addressed each type specifically by describing the problem, its symptoms, and how it can be treated with drugs and supplements, as well as ways for the affected person and their spouse to cope with the issue. I appreciated the fact that the author encourages couples to work on their problems and gives hope for resolving conflict within a marriage.

I picked up this book not expecting to be very enthralled by it but I was pleasantly surprised. Henslin's writing style is easy to read and informative. This book was one of the easiest to read nonfiction books that I have ever read. I enjoyed the practical nature of this book. It was written in a way that made it practical to a layperson who has little experience with problems of the brain. I learned things about myself and why I respond to my spouse in certain ways. It was a very helpful book and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to make their marriage better.
