I didn't like this book.

What I took away was, people are who they are and do what they do; deal with it.

Bill Ferguson is helping me save my marriage

It's too early to tell, but the approach recommended here is already having an enormously positive effect on my relationship with my spouse. In contrast to the other review, I have found this audiobook to be helpful and multi-faceted, going to the root of the emotional background that is likely causing the two partners in estrangement to contemplate a split. I know that whether or not we decide to go our separate ways, my relationship with my wife will be significantly repaired, and that at least will save us a costly and adversarial divorce. I will update this review once the final result is in. In the meantime, if you are looking for help for your troubled marriage, I suggest you place this audiobook near the top of your list.

jumbled presentation, didn't feel relevant

In spite of the fact my husband and I are getting divorced, and we both very much want to stay close friends (and so far are), this book didn't feel relevant at times to me.

There were some good insights, but there were also parts I found annoying.

I wish there had been a professional narrator.

I also wish the format had been edited. It appeared to have been a series before, that was combined into one recording. Therefore, it "sells" the next section, and often repeats things that were already said. In spite of the repetition, the order didn't make sense. At one point I thought I had skipped backwards (but hadn't).

I couldn't finish listening to this.

Great Advice

The content of this book is spot on for the topic for which it is entitled. Delivery is not my favorite because of the annoying sound of the speaker’s dry mouth. This may be from being nervous or may be bad habit. It is a worthwhile read.

Definitely worth a listen!

Chapters 1, 3 and 4 were excellent. Chapter 2 I got the point after the first five minutes and almost fell asleep for the rest of the chapter. Overall the book was a good listen and very useful concepts.

Very good!

What did you like best about this story?

Acceptance

Have you listened to any of Bill Ferguson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Just as good, makes very good points

Any additional comments?

He does repeat himself a few times throughout the audio book,....thought I accidentally scanned back but I noticed he does this throughout.

Everyone should read this book!

I started reading it while separated, but didn't connect because I wasn't matured enough. Three years after divorcing, I was struggling with knowledge of how to let my ex-wife know that I realized I had made many mistakes and I still loved her as a human being. Through God and this book's process of achieving that, I now am prepared to ask her permission to tell her what time and wisdom has showed me. I just couldn't keep from sharing this with her any longer. Thank you for explaining what I have been praying for a long time!

This is POWERFUL work !!

Would you listen to How to Divorce as Friends...And Maybe Save Your Marriage again? Why?

Wow this book has really changed my life. It has given me an awareness of my behaviors and how I impacted my marriage. If you really want to end a marriage as friends or even save your marriage this is the book you need. I am thankful for the concepts in this book because I was doing things wrong and when I put the concepts explained in this book into action I immediately begin to see the benefits. I say "Thank You Mr. Ferguson" !!!

What other book might you compare How to Divorce as Friends...And Maybe Save Your Marriage to and why?

I would compare this book to Letting Go: A 12 week personal action program ... by Cabot and Wanderer but this book is more diverse and on a higher level.

What does Bill Ferguson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He brings what he experienced in his life and how he got through it. I was able to transfer those concepts into my situation.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

If you truly want the person to be happy you need to accept the person as they are. I should stop resisting who I am and embrace who I am and the negative power goes away. Love the person whether they are with me or not. This brought my wife closer to me .. it is amazing!
