Self-Help Relationships
Oh no, it's happening -- you're turning into that
girl. The one you never thought you'd
become, the one who really wants to get engaged and can
think of little else...the one who delivers a series of
Oscar-worthy monologues about wanting to take the
relationship to the next level, the one who tears out
Tiffany ads and leaves them around the house, the one who
finally agrees with her mother: "When are we going to get
engaged?" Rest assured, you are not
alone. Engagement stories tend to focus on the
details of a beautifully orchestrated proposal crafted
entirely unprompted by a dream boyfriend. Understandably,
the unsavory details of the not-so-subtle hinting, the
uncomfortable conversations, and the ultimatums issued six
months prior are left out of the official recap. But the
fact is, like any good relationship, getting engaged takes
work -- soul-bearing, gut-wrenching, and occasionally
heartbreaking work. In The Truth Behind
the Rock, real-life couples share their experiences in
"he said/she said" anecdotes that offer a peek behind the
curtain at what men and women are really thinking when it
comes to engagements. From the subtle art of persuasion (and
what to do if it fails) to sifting through the wreckage once
he drops the "I don't really believe in marriage" bomb after
years of dating, author Jessica Kaminsky offers up sisterly
advice to guide you through the dreaded "talk"...again. This
candid, reassuring examination of the great engagement
debate is essential reading for every serious
couple. There's nothing wrong with wanting
to be wanted...just be prepared to ask for what you want.
