The kids are happy, but how are things really between you and your partner? In modern parenting, the established wisdom is that you should prioritize the needs of your children above all else.

Based on twenty-five years of counselling experience, this book will help you: * Maintain intimacy and strengthen your bond of love * Work as a team and avoid negative parenting patterns * Provide good relationship role models for your children * Create a strong marriage, confident children and a happy family (hide)

Sexual failures of the world unite! Now is the time to stand up and be counted (or measured). A celebration of sexual failures, Is It In Yet? is an antidote to all those self-help books obsessed with sexual performance. Aimed not just at those with serious shortcomings, it's a book for anyone for whom the phrase 'cock-up in the bedroom' is only ever associated with humiliation.

These bizarre but true tales of sexual stupidity and strangeness include: The perils of having sex with a hot lasagne * The couple who suffocated while making love in the back of a hearse * The flasher who only exposed himself to department store mannequins * The man who mistook superglue for lubricant * Alarming fetishes including clowns, falling downstairs and licking eyeballs * The man who married his horse (and gave her lingerie) * The woman who took five years to discover her boyfriend was actually female If it's deviant, disturbing or just plain dumb...you'll find it in Is It In Yet?

How was Elizabeth Bennett expected to respond to Mr Darcy's gauche advances? How was a mother meant to present her daughter to society for the first time?It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man, even these days (if reasonably educated), recognises the beginning of that quotation! A strict code of conduct governed courtship and marriage in Regency England during the period in which Jane Austen's novels were set, broadly 1796 to 1816. Young, genteel women had to learn and adhere to these rules. What was a girl to do? How should a mother direct her eligible (or not so eligible) daughter? Many turned to the etiquette manuals made available by a burgeoning publishing industry.

Published to coincide with the bicentenary of the death of Jane Austen, The Jane Austen Marriage Manual draws from this pool of early `how-to' popular literature, read by Jane and her contemporaries (and actually referred to in her novels), as well as Jane's own experiences. It traces the many stages of courtship and its potential pitfalls, from a girl's first entry into society through to her wedding day and beyond.

The internationally bestselling author Robin Norwood responds to letters from women who need advice and help in their recovery from addiction - whether drugs, alcohol or dangerous men. In her bestselling self-help book, Women Who Love Too Much, Robin Norwood revolutionised the way we look at love, with a compassionate, intimate book offering a detailed psychological recovery programme for women who love too much - women who are attracted to the wrong men, who neglect their own interests and friends and who are unable to leave tormented relationships for fear of being 'empty without him'. It is a book that speaks to nearly every woman who has ever loved and lost.

In this follow-up to her bestselling book, Robin Norwood presents selected letters from readers about their reactions to the book. Norwood, a Dallas therapist, responds to her correspondents with diagnoses of the maladies they describe. The book, "a closer look at relationship addiction and recovery," is divided into 10 sections involving women who are battered, in therapy, addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, as well as to dangerous men.

Then there is a description of each type - what makes them tick, their likes and dislikes, how they tend to behave, their body language, what they tend to look like, the line of work and hobbies they are likely to choose, their hopes and fears.

The final section looks at all the different possible compatibility combinations between the types, showing how misunderstandings can arise and giving advice on how to keep love between the different types of birds going and growing.
