Summary: In the Nick of Time
Review: I had been talking with a close friend and shared that my wife and I were contemplating divorce. He gave me a copy of this book and The Romantic's Guide and two months later, we are happier than newlyweds. We know a lot more about our needs than we did when we were married so this time we are going to keep the happiness in our relationship.

Summary: This Book Saved My Marriage
Review: I have been married for 16 years, 3 kids, 2 dogs, great home - what I thought was the perfect life. Almost two years ago my wife came to me and told me she wanted a divorce. She "loved me but wasn't in love with me anymore", was how she put it. She had been going to a therapist for over a year who had encouraged her to "find herself", "make herself happy". Never mind her husband and her children. I agreed to go to counseling sessions with her therapist. The counselor wanted us to explore our past and express our anger at each other. With each session our marriage got worse. I begged my wife to stay in the marriage and keep trying to make it work, not just for us, but for the children. She refused. She said it was over.I bought "Divorce Busting" after visiting the author's web site. I read that there was a name for what happened to me. It's called the "walkaway wife syndrome". I read the book from cover to cover several times during the next few months. I immediately stopped chasing and begging my wife to return. I employed every technique in the book. I even tried what Michele calls "the last resort technique". I learned that I couldn't change my wife, but I could change myself. If I changed, truly changed my behavior, it would have to change my marriage. I love how this book is so clearly written. I really enjoyed( and continue to enjoy ) setting and achieving my goals. I love how this book gave me hope. It took almost 4 months of constant work on my part, but it worked!! My wife came back. For the first month that she was back, it was touch and go. I continued to use my divorce busting techniques and mindset, and now things are better than they have ever been in our marriage. We're like newlyweds again. If you need to save your marriage and your family, Divorce Busting is the book to buy! Should be required reading before and during marriage. Thanks Michele! Justin

Summary: Not just for marriages...
Review: I love this book! I bought it for my Mom, loaned it to a friend going through a divorce, I bought a copy for a friend who is separated, and I'm ordering another one for a friend who just wants to communicate better in her marriage. I have found that I can use the techniques of this book in any inter-personal relationships. For instance, I was able to use one of the methods of resolving differences with my 12 year old son! And I avoided a big conflict with my boss thanks to this book! What about my marriage? I was able to keep communication open, but like the books says toward the end, "If someone is waiting in the wings for your spouse to divorce you, there may be little that you can do." The author is right! Get this book!

Summary: This book provides helpful, practical skills
Review: I read this book after my husband moved out of the house. Unfortunately, he has filed for divorce and it appears that he is very determined to end our marriage. However, I don't regret spending the time to read this book. It's a very practical book on relationship skills. The knowledge may prove useful in the future.

Summary: "It was very helpful Info! I wish she was in person!!"
Review: I really hope i can apply the prinicaples and technics in my marriage to see if i can work things out between me and my wife. I really would jump at the oppurtity to attend one of her seminars. I agree that 90% or more of the divorces do not need to happen! I also learned from the book that i love my wife more now than i ever have! I just wished i had this knowledge before we seperated! I will pay any amount of money,price and do anything to have my wife back! So i will apply the use of this book and see what will happen!!

Summary: This book saved my best friend's marriage
Review: I saw the author on the Oprah show. My best friend's wife had already filed for a divorce and he was depressed beyond description about it. I told him to get the book. He got it, read it over and over, used what he read and she started to soften. It took 4 months of hard work on his part. He would tell me every day what technique he was using, and what progress he was making. Today, they are madly in love with each other again. She says he has become a new person. He says their relationship is like it was when they first met. They have become friends again. My wife and I have both read the book and we love the stories. We give copies of the book out at wedding showers and anniversaries. I think Divorce Busting is written in an easy to understand way. If you are married, I recommend that you(and your spouse)read this book!

Summary: This book is good, but it may be too late for you
Review: I totally agree with "A Reader From California." I got this book out of the library after my wife told me she had been having an affair for the past year and wanted to separate (but not get a divorce!) What a trauma! I read this book and started following its instructions, which, simply put, involves changing YOURSELF and not the other person (because you are the only one whom you CAN change). Well, it was just too late! She still wants to separate, and our marital therapist agrees that there is not much left to try besides that: "Your wife will either be very lonely and feel like something is missing in her life, or she will feel like she has finally come into her own." "You don't have a marriage any more," the therapist added. "You have a RELATIONSHIP." Some of the other books in this category were more to the point for my needs, including "Uncoupling" by Diane Vaughan (very sobering) and "When the One You Love Wants to Leave" by Donald R. Harvey (much more upbeat, but still realistic). Still, I am giving this book 4 stars, because if there is NOT a separation in the works for the reader, then this book offers really good advice. I just wish I had had a little more warning so I could have followed that advice, but in marriage there is nothing like a case of adultery to serve as a wake-up call! Read this book and you might never get that call.

Summary: One person can save a marriage
Review: I was amazed at the ease of implementation for the techniques. The book is easy to read and the goal is to save the relationship. That's it, nothing more.
