 | Men in Midlife Crisis Dec 16, 2008 |
| This is an awesome book! It has been incredibly helpful. I feel like Jim Conway knew my husband when he wrote this book. The most helpful part is knowing that other people have experienced what I am going through. It included supportive info on how to understand this stage in a man's life and get through this stage in your life, and work towards saving your marriage. I would very much recommend this book, as well as other books by Jim and Sally Conway. | | | | For those going through it -- it's a must-read Nov 12, 2007 |
This book is a must-read for any couple 35 or older who sees things falling apart in their marriage, for any woman who sees huge and frightening changes in her middle-aged husband, or for the man over 35 who wonders why everything seems to be turning upside down in his private world.
When my husband and I were separated, a friend gave me this book (the earlier version), and I was amazed at how the things described within its covers mirrored what was happening to us. I gave it to my husband, and he said the same thing. Men in Midlife Crisis was a book that helped me understand the crisis that was rocking our marriage so I could hold on and not give up.
Ultimately, after a three-year separation, my husband and I restored our marriage, and we are happier than ever. But this book was one of the things that helped us get through that difficult time. Eventually I wrote a book of my own, Broken Heart on Hold: Surviving Separation, and have been able to pass the message of hope and healing onto others. Since I've written a book for those in marital crisis, I regularly recommend Men in Midlife Crisis to any of my own readers who may be dealing with midlife issues. The book is so comprehensive. I don't believe there is another book like it. | | | | A helpful perspective for a trying time Oct 31, 2007 |
| I think this is a very helpful book for what can be a trying and difficult time in life. I will say, that if I could have given it 4 1/2 stars, I would have because the part written from a woman's perspective is just a bit out of touch - there are many women who work full-time and of those, many do not have the choice or luxury of staying home to raise their children. And one or two of his comments about a wife helping to correct "her" mistakes relating to her husband's midlife crisis were, I think, out of line. A man's midlife crisis is first and foremost about him, and wives really don't need anything else to feel guilty about when they find themselves in the middle of a muddle they didn't create, can't correct and basically have to try and stay afloat through. I am not saying that all wives are perfect - absolutely not, but while traversing this slippery path they are often made out to be the "bad guy" by their husbands anyway as a way for them to assuage their feelings of dissatisfaction. It's convenient to have someone to blame for all their unhappiness and pain. So, other than those reservations, I found the book to be very well thought out, very thorough and not very preachy. Yes God is spoken about and scriptures are quoted, but the man IS a minister and this is his story, as well as a general guidebook for other men following in his footsteps. All-in-all, I think it is very balanced - painfully honest, well researched & most of all, hopeful and encouraging. I'm very glad I bought the book & I'm sure I will read it again as we continue through the process. I have set it on my husband's bedside table & I am looking forward to discussing his take on the information. I will also absolutely buy a few copies for friends (both male and female) nearing the edge of the slope, as a sane roadmap written by a sure-footed guide who presents us, not with just the facts, but a bright beacon of hope. | | | | Best midlife crisis book available Jul 22, 2006 |
