Editorial reviews

The best-selling writing team of Men Who Can’t Love combine to encourage the commitment-phobic to live courageously and overcome the obstacles keeping them from evolving into the heroes of their own, everlasting romance. Steven Menasche brings to mind the neighbor you turn to for commonsense advice as he shares with listeners insights to aid them falling and then staying in love. Only when one is willing to upset the self-defeating patterns limiting the scope of relationships is it possible to face down the eight challenges standing between one’s own fears and a lasting connection filled with real intimacy and true love.

Where was this book years ago!

I loved this book! It was the most insightful and relatable relationship book I have ever read/listened to. He couldn't be more accurate in his reasons for why people are the way they are in relationships. The book has lifted weights off my shoulders and given me confidence to move forward in relationship issues I've struggled with. I recommend this book to men and women of ALL ages who are struggling with commitment, rubbing from relationships, feeling confused in relationships and questioning things, people who are seeking perfection in a mate and always dissatisfied, individuals who truly want to find lasting love and relationship success... This book is for you!
