Summary: Insightful, creative, accessible, unpretentious!
Review: As a person who has been involved in professional counselling for years, I was shattered when my marriage of 20 years collapsed this year. I found this book in my university library, read it reluctantly, and have been enormously helped by its excellent layout and very realistic, practical application. The stage approach was helpful without be prescriptive, and both my ex-wife and I found its clarity most helpful in recognising and owning our place is the process. Unquestionably helped reduce conflict levels in our separation and divorce. Theory is cleary present, but well integrated with application and as valid for my South African context as it must be for its American setting. Many, many thanks!

Summary: Most helpful tool since my separation.
Review: This book has been the most helpful tool since my recent separation. After 22 years of marriage, my husband and I have separated. This book lists all of the predictable emotions, what to expect's, and what to do's. Very valuable to me! It has helped to understand my own feelings and know that it is normal to feel this way. I've read the chapters past the point of where we are so I can be better prepared just in case. Thanks.

Summary: Best advice I recieved in the most difficult decision
Review: This book helped guide me through a very difficult decision. This book helped me deal with the many issues that I feared for my family, children and my wife. This book combined with "Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay" help me make the right choice. The book helped me deal with the feeling and emotions in the decision and the process. I can not recommend this book enough. It does not have all the answers but it is a great place to start!
