In the introduction to Why Men Fall Out of Love, author Michael French declares he's not a relationship expert but a man who has been asked some difficult relationship questions, (by a younger man) probably because he had been "successfully married for many years."
As the author pondered the questions posed, he discovered his own relationship might be in trouble. He sought out self-help books for answers to his own questions and found the number of good books wanting. Why Men Fall Out of Love was born to help men who were struggling with questions about love and relationships.
French learned that men are molded by cultural myths and society's expectations. His research provided him with three basic questions women should ask a man before she becomes involved with him, several reasons why men fall out of love, communication information, four relationship busters, tips and techniques to steer a relationship back on course (located at the end of each section.) and a relationship audit.
French reveals the hidden lives of men through his own story and that of nine other men. They discuss their wants, needs and deepest feeling about relationships
While Why Men Fall Out of Love may not provide all the answers and definitely is not the 'quick fix' that men and women yearn for, it is a road map for couples to begin looking inward as they address the status of their relationship and what can be done to help heal their relationship.
Men who read French's book will know and understand they're not alone in their fears and women who read it (perhaps devour it) will reach a better understanding of their partners.
Armchair Interviews says: The question is, will we see a book titled, Why Women Fall Out of Love?
