The Other Side of Love: Handling Anger in a Godly Way

This book was one of those "aha" moments in my life. I had read the Five Love Languages first, and it saved my marriage, so I decided to try this one so I knew how to deal with anger after my partner's infidelity. Well, I learned so much about life, myself, and everyone around me that it really did change my entire outlook on life. Now I can see the motivations behind other peoples' actions, and react in a more positive, healthy, and constructive way. Most of all, though, this book taught me how to truly forgive things that, after years of counseling, I thought were unforgivable. I was finally able to let go of all those things that had weighed so heavily upon me my entire life.

This book is better than 30 years of counseling and my old Zoloft prescription. At last, someone has explained exactly what I'm feeling-exactly what we're ALL feeling-and given us logical, step-by-step ways to overcome this tremendous burden of anger, aka frustration, disappointment, injustice, etc. I don't have to be upset all the time anymore! Freedom!

I recommend this to everyone. It is sad fact that alot of us just didn't learn how to effectively deal with our anger growing up.

As a wife and a parent of two young children,I have become increasingly aware of my inability to handle anger and extremely stressful situations with my family. This book helped me realize that perhaps my parents and grandparents were never taught how to deal with anger either. I decided I do not want to repeat those same mistakes. This book helps you realize that perhaps one of the greatest gifts you can give your spouse and children is the ability to manage your anger appropriately and teach your children the same skills. I think it is a great new family legacy that I can pass on to my children!

This book is breath of fresh concept on an age old conflict. Gary Chapman strips away the guilt about anger allows the reader express it and understand it. An excellent book for anyone who either has anger problems or deals regularly with someone who does.
