Summary: GREAT SIMPLE BOOK
Review: I have read this four times over the last three years. Excellent book. Its written simple enough so that anyone can get different meanings from it. I have let more than eight people read this (who were having different difficulties with boyfriends, lovers, husbands, wives etc) and they all get great meaning and results from it. It doesn't matter at what stage of a relationship one is in...this book will open your eyes. I highly recommend. A keeper!

Summary: A Little Too Optimistic
Review: I just got out of a relationship of 5 months. My partner told me he was falling in love with me, that he thought I could be "the one", and various other things we all love to hear, such as the whole let's buy the house with the white picket fence and the dog thing and live happily ever after. Naive little me has been wanting to hear this for years, being that I had been in and out of several unhealthy relationships throughout the course of my life and this was all I had ever wanted. Well needless to say he ended up giving me the whole "We're just two different people" excuse and dumped me out of the blue recently. I was distraut. I was in shock, after all he had built up in my head, he was turning around and leaving me with no clear cut examples as to why he had made that decision. Well I was confused and really wanted to figure things out so that I could hopefully get him back. So I was at my local bookstore and I saw this title and decided to pick it up. What I didn't like about the book is that it seemed almost too optomistic. What I mean by that is the authors never touched on whether the relationship is worth salvaging or how to tell if you're just wasting your time and making a fool of yourself by chasing after someone who just might not want to be with you no matter how much you work on yourself or decide to compromise. I felt like it builds your hopes up into thinking that if you follow the strategies, you WILL get you're partner back someday. Well needless to say I'm trying the strategies and my phone ain't ringin'! So I guess I need to put this book down and find one on how to heal a broken heart. ;-(

Summary: Turn your eyes inward
Review: I sat in a Barnes and Noble for half a day. I looked at every book they had on relationships. This book was the only one that seemed to address my desire to have a positive reunion with my spouse. I've purchased a copy for my wife and we are using it as a common source of wisdom to learn to live with ourselves and with each other.

Summary: Great advice if separated and desiring reconciliation...
Review: Speaking from past personal experience, this was an excellent self-help book for me when I was newly separated. It gives basic but excellent advice on how to deal with your estranged partner, pamper and take care of yourself, etc. The main lesson here is to remain detached but cordial to your ex while working to improve yourself.

I believe that the advice in this book helped me immensely in redefining the relationship with my husband that led to our reconciliation. But even if you don't succeed, you'll walk away from your relationship a better person with your head held high and your dignity intact. Either way, it's a win-win situation.

Summary: Turn your eyes inward
Review: This book helps couples turn their eyes inward and focus on the self...redirect the focus on basic relationship techniques rather than "just getting back with the person". I found this book helpful to identify needs and understand that needs will change, and that each person in the relationship will need to be informed of the change of needs....

Summary: Help in a chaotic time...
Review: This book will give you guidance, give you a general plan when you feel directionless. There is no set playbook in getting one's spouse back, but this book will point you towards some things you need to consider. In the end, your particular answers are within yourself, not any book. I highly recommend reading it and visiting relationship resource dot com.
