Married to Distraction, by Edward Hallowell & Sue Hallowell

PhotobucketPlease don’t tell me you’re surprised that I read this book. I’m a long-time fan of Hallowell, and what with my own wedding coming up in just over a month (ack!), I thought it might be a good idea to read a book about having a good marriage when one or both partners are distracted a lot of the time.

The book isn’t specifically about ADHD, though there is one chapter about it. That shouldn’t stop you from reading it, though, because it’s about making relationships work, no matter what. It’s about how to maintain intimacy with your partner in a world that is increasingly full of distractions.

Ned Hallowell is an ADHD expert who has ADHD himself, and his wife, Sue, is a Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with couples who deal with ADHD. So not only have they lived it themselves, they’ve dealt with it in private practice. And what they say makes sense.

We haven’t tried the 30-day reconnection plan yet; if we do, I’ll post a review of it, too.

    Thank you for reviewing this book on your blog! I need to pick up a copy since I am “married to distraction” (hubby has ADHD) and am often driven absolutely nuts by it! We could probably understand each other better after reading this one. :^)
