Customer Reviews

Easy read, lots of tips for sustaining relationships

Enjoyed this book tremendously, especially since the author herself indicates she is divorced so why should she be considered the expert but I found that I couldn't put the book down. It was filled with lots of tips, ideas and referenced other books I could refer to if I wanted further information. I finished it in just 3 days. Easy to read, easy to reference, lots of tips at sustaining relationships with partners as well as other family members. Especially enjoyed the chapter on clearing your space and her frequent references to other books written by authors. Good reference book. I liked the part of keeping the bedroom, the bedroom! Good book if you are trying to sustain and build on your relationship.

A Handbook for Better Relationships

This wise and wonderful book came to me exactly when I needed it. I've only had it for a few days, but it's already helped open the lines of communication between my husband and myself.In "Simple Loving", Janet Luhrs presents a new model for intimate relationships -- one based on compassion, empathy, honesty and self-care. A very refreshing change from the game-playing of books like "The Rules."Like her previous book ("Simple Living") this book follows the same formula of using real life couples to illustrate the points in each chapter. They provide real life role-models for a deeper, more intimate relationship.Being rooted in the simplicity movement, this book may not be for every couple. Luhrs believes that love is about more than your mate's appearance or the car they drive. But at the same time, you don't have to be a back-to-the-lander to appreciate her eloquent message of deep love and committment.If you're intrigued my the idea of a love (and life) less ordinary, this may be just the book you're looking for.
