New Book Published To Help Couples Listen & Love Better

MONMOUTH, Wales - Sept. 15, 2025 - PRLog -- The book titled 'When Love Listens' took four years to write and has been a labour of love for Benjamin Leppier. He says: "Communication is one of the biggest complaints in marriage, it's why my coaching business is called The Damn Good Listener. But we need to do much more than listen to our partners, we must learn to listen to ourselves. From there we can start to build confidence, acceptance, better habits and a much better capacity for accepting and loving our partners"

Benjamin also works with organisations where he runs workshops for men who he says often need more support when it comes to listening. He says: "men have many skills; they're often the breadwinner, task driven and hard working with responsibilities at home too. Men have had to adapt to a more family centred existence whilst still carrying the load of finances in a world where expenses are rising quicker than we can keep up with. Listening is therefore not always at the top of their skill set which can be frustrating to their partners. It works really well to bring groups of men together to discuss this topic. There is a huge relief for men in sharing with others in this struggle, and in being heard. This space creates an openness in men that otherwise would be extremely difficult to reach. And in turn it teaches men the art of listening. If they still struggle then they have my book to guide them further."

According to Mind UK the number of men who have suicidal thoughts when feeling worried or low has doubled in the last 10 years. And over a third of men admit that social media has a negative impact on their life. That's why it's incredibly important to get men out face to face with other men, away from their devices (and even their family) where they can get in touch with their feelings more easily. Benjamin says: "helping men in this way goes a long way in helping relationships thrive. Men don't always have the same type of community that women access, and are still less willing to ask for help. Men are certainly not to blame for the problems in marriages, but without any doubt, they need a damn good listening to; we all do."
