From Publishers Weekly Chapman, author of the bestselling The Five Love Languages, teams up with psychologist Thomas for thoughtful dissection of another tricky subject. Chapman and Thomas choose to tackle the apology because, as with love, understanding it is essential for developing, maintaining and repairing relationships. Apology, however, covers a much broader scope, applying to all varieties of relationships, from the deeply personal connection between intimate partners to the formal relationships between nations. Chapman and Thomas's basic observation that we don't all agree on what constitutes a sincere apology is perhaps not surprising, but it may, as they show, help couples who can't resolve arguments because their apologies aren't accepted. The authors stress that you need to learn the "language" of the person you are apologizing to: for one person, it may be expressing regret, while for another it's accepting responsibility or making restitution. Especially useful is the chapter that helps readers learn which language of apology feels most sincere to them. Chapman and Thomas are most apt when they seek to repair relationships not with large ideas but with simple basics that are too often taken for granted. (Sept.)

From the Inside Flap When our granddaughter Davy Grace was five years old, her mother and father allowed her to spend a special week with her grandparents. Karolyn and I were elated. The week was great fun. But one experience is indelibly printed in my memory. Karolyn has a special drawer where she keeps “stickers” for the grandchildren. Davy Grace, of course, knew about this special drawer and asked her grandmother if she could have some stickers. Karolyn told her that she could have three; any three she chose.An hour or two later, we began to see stickers all over the house. Davy Grace had taken the entire sheet of stickers and placed them randomly. Karolyn said to her, “I thought I told you to take only three stickers, but you have taken the whole sheet.”Davy Grace stood in silence as her grandmother continued. “You disobeyed Grandmother.”Tears cascaded down Davy Grace’s face as she said, “I need somebody to forgive me.”I shall never forget those words nor the pain which I saw in her young face. My tears joined her tears as I embraced her and said, “Honey, all of us need somebody to forgive us.” —From The Five Languages of Apology

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. a quick read like a splash of cold water By Varsha It was a quick read like a splash of cold water on the face!! May be because the title `An ideal husband' is an irony in itself compared to the kind of story Oscar Wilde has portrayed here in this book, because the truth he unfolds throughout and the insight that he gives in this play clearly challenges the existence of a `ideal husband' or rather an `ideal person'.Lady Chiltern thinks highly of her husband Sir Robert Chiltern. But as soon as she gets to know that the money and the status that he has earned was by being dishonest once in his past when he was young.. at that moment her idea of he being an `ideal gentleman' is shattered. Because her theory is"If people are dishonest once, they will be dishonest a second time."Yes may be... but not all ways. I almost agreed with her when she said that but Sir Robert Chiltern words made me consider his perspective as well when he quoted the below lines.."The error all women commit. Why can't you women love us, faults and all? Why do you place us on monstrous pedestals? We have all feet of clay, women as well as men; but when we men love women, we love them knowing their weaknesses, their follies, their imperfections, love them all the more, it may be, for that reason. It is not the perfect, but the imperfect, who have need of love. It is when we are wounded by our own hands, or by the hands of others, that love should come to cure us - else what use is love at all? All sins, except a sin against itself, Love should forgive. All lives, save loveless lives, true Love should pardon. A man's love is like that.It is wider, larger, more human than a woman's. Women think that they are making ideals of men. What they are making of us are false idols merely. You made your false idol of me, and I had not the courage to come down, show you my wounds, tell you my weaknesses. I was afraid that I might lose your love, as I have lost it now."This was indeed a splash of cold water that hit Lady Chiltern before it was too late and of course some of Lord Goring's (one of the smartest character in the play) friendly advice that she considered in a right way! Thus, Oscar Wilde does succeed in showing `imperfection' as a rectifiable flaw not a dreadful disease!
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Love Oscar Wilde By Dena This play was short but interesting. It kept me interested the entire time. I loved the character development and I really came to care about each one of them. I would definitely recommend this book.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Wilde, as always made me laugh. By Gina Hott 'An Ideal Husband' while funny wasn't quite as easy as many of his other books. You had to pay attention and follow the by-play in order to get it. There were always quite a few characters introduced right away and it was a bit difficult to keep them straight as I read.
