Critic reviews

"Solid, well-organized advice." (Kirkus)

a must-read for all ages

extremely insightful and solid good information that should be taught in high school before kids get involved in marital relationships. anexcellent read

Very well written and extremely insightful.

Absolutely loved it and didn't realize how many patterns I was repeating! Loved that it walks you through the good side and the bad side. While describing each good and bad traits to embrace or learn to let go of.

I needed this

some may say it's common sense, but common sense is not common. Especially when love is involved in the mix of things. Currently, I am married (10 months) and on the verge of divorcing even though I love him. Love is not enough. I'm having mixed feelings. I do not doubt that leaving will make me feel at peace with myself for all I've tolerated.

Anyhow, read this book. I will be relistening to it again and again. A must-have in your collection.

Valuable Information in a Concise Manner

This book was recommended to me years ago by a therapist and I now see why. It is rich with substance and useful information that is still relevant even thirty years after its initial publishing. I appreciate how direct and concise the author is; she is straight to the point without a lot of excess fluff. If you are looking for the tools and guidance on how to choose the right partner and build a meaningful relationship- you will find this book to be productive, insightful and rewarding.

This book is very helpful. I enjoy it a lot

I think the author has a great point of view of what love is and her theories on relationship, love and lust, and the reasons we stay in relationships. And of course, why we put ourselves in relationships in first place. The author is easy to relate to and I often felt that she is talking about my relationship (current and past relationship).

Overall, I think the author had great concepts on love and relationship. I think she was right on the money about the way women think. This book was good for the modern world, relevant to the dating world. The author was helpful for single and married individuals- if you are looking for someone or to fix your relationship. She helped you to make your own decision on your relationship. She gave you a better understanding on relationships. I really enjoyed this book, it helped work on myself and in my relationship. I would recommend this book to anyone.

enlightening, but speaks too quickly at times

speaks too quickly at times, when you slow down the speed it just sounds silly and annoying after awhile.

better-than-expected

The narration was great and the book flowed very well from beginning to end. It was also not a long listen and I was able to finish it while working. Truth be told, I uncovered some things that I didn't realize I was doing and also really hit home with some things I knew were an issue. That was unexpected and I'm very thankful for that. Hearing it from her perspective with details really resonated with me and brought some things home and for that I am thankful. I have seen a few people complain about her directing it towards men and not women but that's not really true. The traits apply to both sexes.

I think this would be a great book for people before they start dating and immediately beginning dating to potentially avoid some big disasters or time bombs as she puts it years later. also great for people who maybe need to come to terms with things they are in denial of or that they want to work on. I would recommend it for both halves of the couple to listen to.

Concise and well done

First of all this book defines relationship based on compatibility not just love. This is an important distinction, and the author does a great job of building her case, explaining myths prevalent in our culture and then step-by-step guides/tips. She really gets into explaining how to find a person who is compatible with you beyond just looks and the superficial trappings that can get us in so much trouble when seeking long-term commitment and real love. This book is also written in a gender-neutral way for man or woman, whatever sexual preference, so that you focus on the core of her message and not caught up in gender stereotypes. Well done! I would recommend this to anyone who is serious about going to the next level in taking responsibility for their love life or working on their existing love life, as she is adept at communicating to singles and couples already involved with each other.

Provides useful information

I wasn't sure about this author, but this is the second book of hers that I've read and found them both worthwhile. She has some solid suggestions for what to consider when getting into a relationship.

Great read for personal& relationship development

Great read for personal& relationship development. learn a lot. parts of book are tough to digest b/c it hits home. Will challenge you personally & emotionally if you allow it.
