“We’re so different! How do we ever get on the same page and love each other better?”

Have you said or thought something like that? The key to greater affection in your most important relationships is to understand each other better and then find a healthy balance between the protective, consistent “hard side” of love and the tender, understanding “soft side” of love.

In this expanded and updated edition of The Two Sides of Love, best-selling authors Dr. John Trent and Gary Smalley explain how to do just that. This classic book, with more than 500,000 copies sold, first introduced the lion, beaver, otter, and golden retriever as symbols of the four basic personality types. By understanding your own “bent” and those of the people you care about the most, you’ll learn how to demonstrate both sides of love and grow your relationships.
