It seems that 2009 is the year for the brothers to write advice books. First, there is Steve Harvey’s Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man and now, novelist, RM Johnson brings us Why Men Fear Marriage. When I first read the title, I was sure it was going to be another standard self-help for the sistahs-type book. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Mr. Johnson offers up practical advice, for those willing to listen, in an entertaining, well-written format.
Chapter Two, Finding the Marriage-Minded man is particularly interesting because the reader is introduced to various types of men, such as The Ladies Man, The Fearful Guy, and the Middle-of-the Roader. Each of these sub-chapters are chock full of information from the male perspective and what I find most appealing is that Mr. Johnson reveals himself in the passages. He admits once being The Fearful Man and he says why. He also drives home the point throughout the book on how many women are missing out on really good guys due to extraordinarily high expectations or an inability to communicate what is wanted or needed. However, in no way does he suggest a woman settle. The author does not let brothers off the hook. He lays it all out there.
I recommend Why Men Fear Marriage to male and female readers, particularly those looking for love and marriage.
