Partners have spent countless hours trying to “work out problems.” Yet over and over again they often come up against a major roadblock: They just don’t see things the same way, and it can be tough to find out what guys want. No matter how long they talk and how hard they try, neither one ends up feeling that they have been heard and understood.

While some couples seem to just naturally see things the same way, most people have a really hard time seeing things through the another person’s eyes. What often happens when they try to “communicate” is that each person works to get the other person to see things his or her way. Instead of solving the problem, each is trying to have control over how the other person sees things.

This often leads to more conflict and frustration.

Now,  I am not suggesting that couples should stop communicating over problems and issues, I am offering an additional way of resolving conflict:

Taking loving action in your own behalf. This form of conflict resolution is about action rather than talk. Following are some of the actions you can take that can make a world of difference in your relationship:

Loving Actions To Resolve Conflict

1. Choose to be compassionate toward yourself and your partner rather than choosing to judge yourself or your partner.

Judging yourself and your partner will always lead to more conflict. Choosing to compassionately care about yourself and your partner can totally change the energy between you, even without words. If you believe and feel that you or your partner’s point of view or feelings are bad or wrong, then your feelings, behavior, or point of view, will not let you be able to let go of these judgments. You will move toward compassion when you understand and accept that each of you has very good reasons for your feelings, behavior, and point of view. Try compassionately accepting yourself and your partner and see what happens!

2. Choose to practice self-discipline in terms of saying nothing rather than behaving in an inflammatory way toward your partner.

Practice zipping your mouth! Practice letting go of having to be right! Practice walking away from a conflicted or heated situation, rather than jumping into the fray in the hopes of winning. If you look back, you will see that no one wins when both people are trying to control with anger, blame, explanations, debating, defending, lectures, or compliance. However, if you choose to walk away, walk away with love and compassion – intent on taking loving care of yourself rather than punishing your partner. Walking away in anger is just another way to control.

3. Choose to accept that you have no control over your partner’s feelings and behavior, but that you have total control over your own actions.

It is much easier to let go of trying to control your partner when you move into acceptance of who your partner is. Trying to change your partner is a total waste of energy. Changing yourself moves you into personal power.

4. Choose to take loving care of yourself in the face of the other person’s choices.

You will find yourself wanting to talk about problems when you see yourself as a victim of your partner’s choices. However, when you accept your partner for who he or she is and accept your lack of control over your partner, you can then see your way clear toward taking loving action on your own behalf. Asking the question: “What loving action should I take toward myself right now?” will lead to ideas of how to take loving care of yourself. Asking: “If I were an enlightened being, how would I be acting right now?” will open the door to creative ways of taking loving care of yourself and resolving conflict.

Loving actions are actions that support your own highest good without harming your partner. For example, if you are tired of often being frustrated and rushed because your partner is generally late leaving for an event, you might decide to take your own car each time your partner is not ready on time. While your partner might not like your choice, your action is not harmful to him or her. It is an action that stops the power struggle and takes care of yourself.

Letting go of trying to change your partner and taking loving action for yourself are the keys to conflict resolution without words.

Who is Michael Fiore and what about his background?

In digging around the web quite a bit, here is the typical storyline I have found about Mr. Fiore: Since about 2009 or so, Michael Fiore, has been crowned our new “Relationship Coach”. He has gained quite a bit of press for his last outing: “Text The Romance Back” and its latest version: “Text The Romance Back 2.0”. He has built a positive reputation on his promises to provide skills and information for couples that are geared towards dramatically improving the romance, passion and communication in their relationships.

Michael Fiore has been interviewed by everyone from Rachel Ray to local press in the Northwest. He lives in Seattle, Washington and from what I can gather, is really honestly intent on helping people make their relationships better.  In all my digging, I have not found anything negative about Mr. Fiore or any of his relationship programs.

He notes on his Secret Survey website that his motivation for helping others comes from the  painful relationship that his parents had. And that their relationship fell apart because they did not really understand how to communicate with each other, which made understanding each other impossible.  Because of this real-life experience, he wants to truly help you, by giving you the keys to truly understanding what do men want, so that you don’t end up in a bad relationship and suffer the way his parents did.

Review of the Secret Survey Materials –  Teaching What Do Men Want?

Video Lessons :

The videos include Mr. Fiore discussing all of the details of a particular lesson. Done casually and without holding ANY punches, he speaks from his experience and his heart to convey the lesson’s topic and specific  points to you. These are all very well done, with excellent audio and video quality, making his presentation of what do men want very clear.

Audio Copies And PDF Transcriptions Of Each Lesson:

I found the audio copies of the video lecture of the program lessons to be well recorded. Using headphones of some type will really help with these they help to block out external background noise in your home, making it easier to concentrate on the presentation. Also, please note that I listened to each of these recordings  two ways: First, objectively to judge the quality of the recording and secondly, in the active role of a member, desiring to pick out all the information I can. In both cases for me, the quality and usability of the recordings is excellent.

All of the PDF copies of the video lectures very in page count as you may expect. I can tell you that they are very well done. Professional looking, logically outlined and without a single typo! (That’s rare in the days of digital media). I strongly suggest that you read each lesson’s guide before watching the video portion of the program and then again after, to help you “get” the point of each lesson. Also, don’t shortchange yourself by not doing the exercises in the lesson’s PDF workbook. Each of these exercises has been carefully designed to engage you in the subject material of learning what do men want. This will provide you with further insights of the subject by having you really come to grips with each lesson’s topic. Again, in my opinion, these are some of the better written materials I have run across in quite a while.

My Personal Experience With The Secret Survey Program:

Now, I am not going to lie to you about my use of the course but, I really did purchase my membership and went through the program materials for the purpose of this review to discover its details about describing what do men want. I was also willing to learn a few things along the way. And for me, as a guy, this gave me some insight into why women think men are so tough to get along with at times. All I can say is WOW!

In general, you need to know that Mr. Fiore does not hold punches with this program. He is going to tell you exactly what do men want, think or feel about, women, sex, love, fun and communication. So some of the material you may find to be a bit shocking. My earlier posts providing some tips and thoughts are not what you will be getting in you Secret Survey program lessons. There, you are only going to be told the truth, unfiltered. And as a guy, I promise, Mr. Fiore is telling you the truth about what do men want, think and feel about all the topics presented in the Secret Survey program.

 What About Cons Of The Secret Survey Program?

The ONLY con I can share is that the lessons are locked. The intent being to lead you through the process of learning the material over a 30 day period. Mr. Fiore is re-considering this aspect of the program and I would not be surprised if he ends up UN-locking all the lessons. I know that I would appreciate that because when I get on a roll with something, I want to get through it at a pretty quick pace. Other than this, I know that you will find the entire program to be engaging, entertaining and most importantly fully capable and relevant in it’s discussion of what do men want. You will learn a great deal about what do men want and what drives a man and how most men REALLY think, giving you insight into what do men want.

Final thoughts – honest opinion regarding the Secret Survey program

I can say without question that Michael Fiore’s Secret Survey program is NO SCAM. Everything from the Secret Survey website, to the program materials themselves are very professionally produced with care and Michael REALLY wants to help you! He conveys a great caring attitude throughout all the lesson materials.

If you want to move ahead with your decision to improve your current relationship or to be REALLY ready for the next one, I honestly believe that this program of guided discovery, of learning what do men want, think and feel, about women and relationships, will help you reach your goal.

Because of the author’s generous 60 – day, no hassles, no fine-print, no questions asked money back guarantee, you have enough time to go through the entire program to see if it will in fact help you. And if not, a quick email will get your refund on its way to you. So, the only thing you can lose here are the current stereotypes of men you probably now hold on to.

Moderately priced, the entire program is way cheaper than relationship counseling sessions, group sessions or many other programs or books that try to improve relationships, let alone give you real information to help you discover what do men want.

Big Suggestion

On the Secret Survey main introductory web page, be sure to take the time to listen to the presentation in its entirety. I think it’s about 20 minutes long, but is full of helpful information about what do men want and you will appreciate hearing it all.

Good luck on you efforts to build and nurture your relationships by trying to really understand what do men want. I hope that my website has helped you.

I have heard a lot of people say that, “If I have to work at it, then it’s not the right relationship.” I am here to tell you that this is just not true, any more than it’s true that you don’t have to work at good physical health through exercise, eating well, and stress reduction.

I’ve discovered, through my relationships over the past 35 years that there are 7 choices you can make that will not only improve your relationship, but can turn a failing relationship into a successful one. Take a look at the following and see if they make sense to you and your understanding of what men want.

1 – Take responsibility for yourself

This is the most important choice you can make to improve your relationship. This means that you learn how to take responsibility for your own feelings and needs. This means that instead of trying to get your partner to make you feel happy and secure, you learn how to do this for yourself through your own thoughts and actions. This means learning to treat yourself with kindness, caring, compassion, and acceptance instead of self-judgment. Self-judgment will always make you feel unhappy and insecure, no matter how wonderfully your partner is treating you.

For example, instead of getting angry at your partner for your feelings of abandonment when he or she is late, preoccupied and not listening to you, not turned on sexually, and so on, you would explore your own feelings of abandonment and discover how you might be abandoning yourself.

When you learn how to take full, 100% responsibility for yourself, then you stop blaming your partner for your upsets. Since blaming one’s partner for one’s own unhappiness is the number one cause of relationship problems, learning how to take loving care of yourself is vital to a good relationship.

2 – Kindness, compassion and acceptance in your relationship

Treat others the way you want to be treated. This is the essence of a truly spiritual life. We all yearn to be treated lovingly – with kindness, compassion, understanding, and acceptance. We need to treat ourselves this way, and we need to treat the partner in our relationshio and others this way. Your relationship will flourish when both people treat each other with kindness. While there are no guarantees, often treating another with kindness brings kindness in return. If your partner is consistently angry, judgmental, uncaring and unkind, then you need to focus on what would be loving to yourself rather than reverting to anger, blame, judgment, withdrawal, resistance, or compliance. Kindness to others does not mean sacrificing yourself. Always remember that taking responsibility for yourself rather than blaming others is the most important thing you can do. If you are consistently kind to yourself and your partner, and your partner is consistently angry, blaming, withdrawn and unavailable, then you either have to accept a distant relationship, or you need to leave the relationship. You cannot make your partner change – you can only change yourself.

3 – Learning instead of controlling is best for your relationship

When conflict occurs, you always have two choices regarding how to handle the conflict: you can be open to learning about yourself and your partner and discover the deeper issues of the conflict, or you can try to win, or at least not lose, through some form of controlling behavior. We’ve all learned many overt and subtle ways of trying to control others into behaving the way we want by using: anger, blame, judgment, niceness, compliance, caretaking, resistance, withdrawal of love, explaining, teaching, defending, lying, denying, and so on. All the ways we try to control create even more conflict. Remembering to learn instead of controlling is a vital part of improving your relationship.

For example, most people have two major fears that become activated in relationships: The fear of abandonment – of losing the other – and the fear of engulfment – of losing oneself. When these fears get activated, most people immediately protect themselves against these fears with their controlling behavior. But if you chose to learn about your fear instead of attempting to control your partner, your fear would eventually abate. This is how we grow emotionally and spiritually – by learning instead of controlling.

4 – Create date times

When people first fall in love, they make time for each other. Then, especially after getting married, they get busy. And relationship needs time to thrive. It is vitally important to set aside specific times to be together – to talk, play, make love. Intimacy cannot be maintained without time together.

5 – Your relationship needs gratitude instead of complaints

Positive energy flows between two people when there is an “attitude of gratitude.” Constant complaints creates a heavy, negative energy, which is not fun to be around. Practice being grateful for what you have rather than focusing on what you don’t have. Complaints create stress, while gratitude creates inner peace, so gratitude creates not only emotional and relationship health, but physical health as well.

6 – Fun and play in your relationship

We all know that “work without play makes Jack a dull boy.” Work without play will make your relationship dull as well. Relationships flourish when people laugh together, play together, and when humor is a part of everyday life. Stop taking everything so seriously and learn to see the funny side of life. Intimacy flourishes when there is lightness of being, not when everything is heavy.

7 – Service – You relationship can provide a greater good

A wonderful way of creating intimacy in your relationship is to do service projects together. Giving to others fills the heart and creates deep satisfaction in the soul. Doing service moves you out of yourself and your own problems and supports a broader, more spiritual point of view.

If you and your partner agree to these 7 choices, you will be amazed at the improvement in your relationship!

When people are told that they need to communicate more, they often think that that is an open invitation to talk, but there is a complete difference between talking and communicating.

Communicating is an art, an art of combining the ability to express your opinions and feelings in such a way as to ensure that the person or people you are talking to understand what you are trying to say, as well as the ability to listen and understand another person’s point of view.

The number of times I have sat in a room, often in meetings and at conferences and I’ve just watched and listened to what is going on around me. It’s totally fascinating when whole groups of people have no ability at all to listen to their colleagues, partners or friends and therefore cannot understand or comprehend any opinion other than their own. What could have been covered in five minutes or learned in half an hour often takes hours or days just because people refuse to sit back, listen and understand. I can’t count the number of times people are provided with information that, if they acted upon, could totally alter a relationship, career, or the success of a business. But, because they lack the ability to listen and think through another persons point of view, unique opportunities continue to pass them by. They are missing a big part of communicating.

In regards to communications skills and communicating, relationships are no different than the work environment other than there are, usually, just the two of you. Often, what could be a marriage made in heaven is destroyed by the sheer inability to communicate. The most successful relationships, be it business or personal, are the ones where both parties have strong verbal and listening skills.

Many relationship problems begin with problems that surface in regards to communicating. Couples often feel that their partner should know what they are thinking and how they feel, but do not communicate that and then wonder why they feel neglected or under valued. How many couples decide not to tell their partner something just because they don’t know how to say it and then the problem just eats away at the relationship until there is no relationship left? What a waste. Communicating your thoughts and feelings is a vital skill to learn.

Just having the sheer ability to share a problem can make what seemed at first to be an insurmountable issue, a very tiny blip on the  larger horizon of a long-lasting and fulfilling relationship. So whenever you feel stressed or don’t know what to do, don’t just bottle it all those feelings up, talk about it, seek advice and listen to the answers. Don’t keep quiet when you know in your heart a problem has to be aired and don’t put off until tomorrow what really needs  to be sorted today. Communicating is a very active process, so don’t delay because it always seems that tomorrow never comes!!

Remember that it’s how you say something that will ruin a relationship and not what you have to say.  You don’t just want to blurt out something that you know will aggravate or distress your partner. The last thing you want is for them to become defensive, storm off or burst into a flood of tears. You want the person you are trying to communicate with to be open and receptive. In order to be able to achieve this, your timing and approach has to be right. Every one of us is different. What will work with one person won’t necessarily work with another and with some people all you can do is sew the seeds and then let them work it out.

One person I know never actually listens to anyone. He is one of those people who is always right no matter what, he hasn’t a clue about being a team player and operates within a zero tolerance zone. Traditional approaches and methods of reasoning just don’t work and all you can do is plant the seeds of thought which eventually developed into an idea that is acceptable to them.

Keeping a person’s individuality in mind, you need to learn what is the right approach for communicating with your partner. Make sure that you never start a discussion if you don’t have time to finish it. Don’t insist on a debate when one of you is off out to work, dealing with the kids or just relaxing in front of their favorite TV program. If the timing seems never to be right, ask your partner the question ‘when would it be a good time for us to just sit down and talk?’. Whatever you do, don’t let yourself appear agitated in what you say or how you say it. Body language can just as easily put your partner on the defensive as what you say to them. Even if your partner is vying for a fight just don’t react. Remember, the first golden rule of communicating as a couple:  Approaching defensiveness with defensiveness is the sure way to failure.

Another key way to improve communications is to develop strong listening skills. Couples often fail to listen to what their partner has to say, interrupt and give the impression that no matter what is said they won’t change their mind. One trick to ensure that you have listened and you do understand what is being said is to repeat what you have heard. This will demonstrate to your partner that you have listened to what was said and by repeating it back, you have given yourself the opportunity to comprehend and understand what was just said to you.

How often do we try and work through a problem and discover at the point we are explaining the issue, that the magic light comes on, enabling us to come up with the answer or recognize the issue? If you are taking an exam would you expect to know everything just by it being told once? For most people I would say not. We have to work at it and work at it hard. No one ever said relationships would be easy. Learning about communicating and understanding communications, are skills to be learned as we experience life through our relationships.

If you want to save your relationship and make it even better than it has been, then there is very little to stop you. Michael Fiore’s Secret Survey program offers you the real chance to learn how to finally really start communicating with the man in your live.

Just one last word of advice. If you are feeling down and feel you no longer want to work at your relationship, just remember that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Now,  none of  my thoughts have been shared with you to encourage you to stay in a bad relationship, but rather to make you consider whether or not yours is really as bad as you think it is.

You are the master of your own destiny and if you want to turn a struggling relationship around and learn what do men want in a woman, you have the power at your fingertips to make those changes. Starting right now with learning all you can about communicating with the man in your life.

My aim is to create a solid Michael Fiore’s Secret Survey review and after reading the actual program materials, and watching the videos through I found some interesting things regarding communications for couples.

I think that most all women, and men too, understand that relationships thrive on good communications.

When both partners know exactly what is on the others mind, a relationship  grows smoothly. But sometimes, the process of communicating with each other is difficult. For example, if you partner all of a sudden is lethargic and keeps quiet, recognize that  this is a form of communicating something that has to be understood by the other partner. Once both  partners understand these hidden signs and precise meanings of what is being said, verbally or not, they can work together to develop a very healthy relationship.

Human nature dictates that a person  feels good if they are understood. But, they get irritated and frustrated if they are not understood, irrespective of their own communications abilities, they want people to understand them. Here lies the clue to communications and relationships.

Many relationships take off and start to develop despite poor communications in the beginning. The excitement of the new partnership and the feelings of euphoric love mask the problems that bad communications will invoke in the future. Typically, after some time, as love cools down a bit, cracks in the relationship begin developing, and the need for good communication becomes paramount. If you are facing the problem of poor communications with your partner, be sincere in your quest to discover ways of improving those communications. Value the fact that good communications is important and worth the effort it will take to improve them.

Now, to give you an extra push in your communications, and to learn what men really want, I am about to share with you the most crucial aspects to understanding the man in your relationship, how his mind works and how to communicate with him. You see, the reason that communicating with a man can be frustrating for you; as the author explains; is the simple fact that men are not women, they don’t communicate the way you think they should. But to keep your relationship alive and kicking and to re-ignite the burning passion for the special man in your life, you will need to learn how to communicate with him and learn to understand how his mind works in regards to expressing his feelings, emotions and desires.

So, if you want to grow your relationship and really connect with your man you are going to need to avoid the most common mistakes that women make when trying to relate to, understand and communicate with men.

Through Michael Fiore’s Secret Survey program, you will discover what a man really needs and what he doesn’t, and most importantly, how to communicate with him and understand how he thinks. And along the way, you will discover  how to become the love of your man’s life, someone he would crawl through glass for.
