Review of Smart Love
The book focuses on Edward and his wife, Ebony. They have two children, Elizabeth and Elijah. They had been on and off in their relationship for a previous couple of years, and Edward recently faced a domestic violence charge. The author is Edward, and he decided at last that it would be better if he started working on the foundation of their marriage rather than growing it from the outside. The author initiated a SMART project to manage his relationship and hopes to accomplish it. Here, SMART stands for specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound. Edward asked his wife to give them a year to work on their relationship. He used various tools and methods to solve the problems in their relationship and develop a better foundation with his children over the next 12 months. I could highlight a bunch of examples from the book, but I desire you to read it!
I appreciate this book a lot. It has justified that sometimes you need to hit rock bottom to grasp what you are doing wrong. Being a good friend and partner requires learning; it's a skill that we could all use a little refresher training in from time to time. Since so many variables affect how we behave in relationships, such as baggage from the past and individual communication preferences, the better equipped you are to connect with and show up for people, the more things there are to consider. I love how he mentioned summaries of some chapters, key takeaways, and past incidents throughout the book.
I appreciate the key points of this book: get to know one another, watch out for bad communication patterns, dig deep into previous family patterns and narratives, and discuss all the difficult subjects (money, kids), and other things.
I rate Smart Love by Vincent Fudge II 4 out of 4 stars. But not all couple can transform their relationship like this one. I merely hope everyone knows that not all relationships can be retained and won't develop false hopes. This book is exceptionally well-written. To strengthen and improve your relationship, Edward offers a tonne of exercises that you can perform with your partner or with other couples along the path. This book is fantastic.
I suggest giving this one a try if you have read all the other books about marriage (nothing wrong with them, by the way), but you are not happy with what you learned. It is a basis for what marriage is rather than merely a book about how to secure a good marriage, making it the perfect resource for both married people and those who have not yet tied the knot.
