Fierce Love: Creating a Love that Lasts---One Conversation at a Time

Written by Susan Scott

Narrated by Susan Scott

Read by the author.

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 even 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, living 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 them determine whether our relationships will thrive, flatline, or fail.

In Fierce Love, Susan Scott guides couples through conversations that lead to deep connection and lasting commitment. Using true stories and hands-on exercises, Susan helps us to

• understand that the conversation is the relationship;
• identify and dispel five relationship myths that mislead and derail us;
• learn eight must-have 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 thrived and others exposed cracks—including those that 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 fierce love.

Reviews for Fierce Love

[KayleiRR · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

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.

The main essence of the book is communication, and how to embrace communication as it is the way forward. I didn’t believe a book could relate to me and my personal situation the way this book has. I’m extremely surprised and pleased that I read Fierce Love and would definitely recommend it to anyone going through similar struggles, or to anyone who would like to develop a stronger, deeper relationship.

The writing is well done and the ideas and thought processes are presented in a way that is easy enough to understand, without sounding patronising, or that I was being talked down to. I will go back and reread, I’m sure, and for now I’ll be recommending to a couple of friends who I think would most benefit.

“No one completes us. No one is our missing piece, our other half. We complete ourselves or fail to. No one else could be successful in that role because each of us is utterly unique."

Remember, that old saying?
"Communication is the key!"
It indeed is. But it can be tricky sometimes. What to say, how to, whom to, where to, etc.? Don't you think it would be nice if it was not that complex.

New York Times bestselling author Susan Scott has tried to simplify this in the content of couples. This book consists of eight must-have conversations to create a deeper and more meaningful relationship.

The narrative is very compassionate and warm. It discusses all the minor to major problems that modern couples may go through. It explores the possible reasons and provides doable exercises and solutions. The author proposes some topics for discussion in a good partnership.

Read it to learn to engage with your partner more effectively by embracing discussion.

Fierce Love was a real eye-opener for me. It was an impulse buy and not something I’d necessarily go for, but was a very rewarding read nonetheless and one I think I will return to and reread in the future. Fierce Love doesn’t have that preachy feel that many self-help books do. It feels like a warm conversation with a friend, and as such was much easier for me to get into.

All in all a great book with many helpful points that I do believe I’ll be able to carry on in my life going forward.
