Good practical advice you can use

Very informative and inspiring advice that seems to help.

Good audio version specifically made for this format.

Helpful exercises to pause and work through in each chapter. This along with Hold Me Tight is a good choice when in pursuit of relationship help. Both have interesting perspectives and practical help.

Both partners would need to read or listen to either one for it to work; and be willing to have a go.
This book in particular though has left us both feeling like we have something to begin with, rather than just give up in our efforts to save our relationship.

Its like turning on a light in a dark room!

Lot's of "ah ha" moments,. For me, love has often been similar to being In a dark room - hope for the best but brace for the worst when you don't expect it. Not only does Harville illuminate common relationship patterns and why they happen, but he also clearly explains exercises and gives examples of how to reenergize love and bring back safety and passion, I'm super-excited that "true love" is not only possible and long lasting, but can also exceed the experience of the initial "romantic love" phase! It takes increased awareness and transformation, but as Harville points out, there is no higher human purpose than to give and receive love. Thank you Harville!.

Yaay another one dusted.

I loved being able to listen instead of read having lots time on the rd. loved that narrated by author. another tick off my favourite must read author list. loved the exercises at the end of each chapter.

Every one should read, practice this in life.

We practiced this together and we made it. He passed away 10 years now,and I still feel His love. And love him. It is the most wonderful experience in life to have true love. And by keeping improving myself to be true to my needs and want with clear expression. Made me full with better life today like free bird...with respectful relationship with each one I am in touch with!! Thank you for the books. Because we are here to learn to love and be loved.

great information

this feels like a timeless classic and I hope to listen again and again. I appreciate that it's not too long.

Life-changing

This is the first book by this author that I have “read” (listened to). I am blown away. I have studied things like Nonviolent Communication, and I can’t believe I’ve spent my whole life without this information! I am very looking forward to listening to this again and again, putting it into practice, and watching the relationships in my life transform.

So much wonderful information

I love this book and will use it regularly until it becomes second nature. I wish I'd found it sooner.

Not at all scientific

focused on too much on post marriage stuff, like marriage could solve all your problem

and I HATE THE THINGS THEY TALKED RELATED TO PHYSICS AND COSMOLOGY to prove their point... first! there is matter and anti matter asymmetry... second! we never proved a particle such that it is own anti particle doesn't exist...

these two don't understand what science is so STOP talking about it

Pretty heady

Sounded like a basic psychology class. The pacs was slow and boring to listen to.
