A Fine Romance: The Psychology of Successful Courtship : Making It Work for You

Rating:
Summary: A Fine Romance is a Very Fine Book
Review: "A Fine Romance" is a sympathetic, pragmatic, and very accurate description of the courtship process. Judith Sills knows her stuff--and must be a fabulous therapist--her sympathy, compassion, and basic honesty shine forth in these pages. Growing up, as I did, during the sexual revolution and the women's movement, left me without rules or guidelines to follow. This book reinterprets the world of dating and relationships in a way that is useful, sometimes very funny, always compassionate to all parties. Whether you are just starting out or have been dating for a while, this book is a winner. I read and re-read it as I learned how to date and be in a relationship successfully after my divorce. The book offers no magic formulae, just realistic, believable advice that you will find to be accurate and helpful. And I very much believe that I owe my own (finally!) "fine romance" to the advice I got from this book. Enjoy.

Summary: The Best Book On Relationships
Review: My therapist recommended this book and it has been a godsend. It has not only made my time in therapy more purposeful but I have learned more about men, dating and the process of building a relationship than I had through, well, many years of dating and 'being in love'. It has helped me understand the difference between Mr. Right and Mr. Right Now. I think everyone who is stuck in dating hell and wondering if it will ever end should buy and read this book. Dr. Sills needs to update it, I think, to reflect the challenges of modern dating, internet dating, older singles dating etc. The core of her message is terrific and useful to all of us who are looking.

Summary: Buy it!
Review: This is just the best book I've read on relationships. Frustrated with being single, and just seem to muck it up every time? You need to get schooled. Dr. Sills has a straightforward way of writing that never gets bogged down, always to the point. My only problem is that the paperback is not put together well, the pages have already started falling out. Gotta look for the hardcover!
