Product Description
The "Innie" and "Outie" Guide to a Great Relationship We use the words everyday, but what does it really mean to be an "introvert" or an "extrovert?" And what does it mean to be an introvert in a romantic relationship with an extrovert? Can it work? Surprisingly, psychologists tell us that despite their obvious differences, introverts and extroverts can enjoy a strong, stable--and fun--relationship. The key to introvert/extrovert bliss lies in understanding what makes the other person tick and using your differences to help balance and enrich the relationship. This book offers advice for making it happen:
· Learn how "innies" and "outies" process information and communicate differently
· Discover ways to create a fulfilling social life for yourself and your partner
· Find creative ways to blend decision-making and future-planning styles
· Get past the dangerous question, "why can't you be more like me?"
· Turn up the heat in the introvert/extrovert bedroom The book is based on current scientific research and innie/outie interviews. The book is based upon the authors' personal experiences as a "mixed" couple--introvert Marti Olsen Laney and extrovert Michael Laney have been happily married for more than forty-two years. They must be doing something right!

It's already helping my marriage immensely!! :)
I am only about 100 pages in with this book, and it has already changed the way I think about myself (100% Outie), AND about my husband (about an 85% Innie). I was starting to go down that dangerous path of 'Why can't he be a bit more like me at times?', and was not appreciating him for the differences that make "US" work. I now see that it's the way we think about our differences that counts.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is at that 'hmmmmmm....' stage in their introvert/extrovert relationship.

Good advice for those in need
This book helped me understand the differences between introverted people and extroverted people. It is useful not just for couples, but also for understanding interactions in any relationship (friends, family, coworkers, etc.). Some of the suggestions seem like common sense to me, but it was all good advice anyhow. I found the book to be a very quick read.

Excellent followup to the first book, The Introvert Advantage. ( wisdomlady )
This book is a great complement to the first book as it goes into the different types of relationships between introverts and extroverts. It includes the information that was in the first book but has the added dimension of exploring relationships.
I found it very insightful and helpful! Introverts and extroverts can have a good relationship if they understand the dynamics as explained in this book. Instead of resenting or feeling uncomfortable with a partner that is of the opposite type, understanding and appreciating differences can work in a great way!
