From the publisher

From the bestselling author of The Empowered Wife and The Surrendered Wife, comes an empowering guide that teaches women to embrace what they've been unconsciously rejecting and how to ask for help in relationships.

Intimacy. Validation. Romance. Nice things. More time. Most women wish for these every day.

In Things Will Get as Good as You Can Stand, bestselling author and intimacy expert Laura Doyle says that all of these things are available but receiving them makes women feel uncomfortable. Women will dismiss praise at work, turn away help with the house, and reject expressions of admiration so that they can appear to be in control, independent, and strong. They believe accepting help would be perceived as weakness. The result is a Superwoman Syndrome--women who are overworked, exhausted, and lonely.

In Things Will Get as Good as You Can Stand, Doyle provides steps for overcoming the Superwoman Syndrome and explains why:

-If you act like you don't deserve something, everyone else will agree
-Saying what you want makes you more beautiful
-Grateful women have better romantic relationships
-You should let your partner support you
-You must be vulnerable to get emotional help

With her trademark practical approach, Doyle explains why it is "better to receive than to give." She guides you to accepting what you are offered with ease and kindness, which is the expressway to having what you want.
