Customer Reviews

Very helpful

my husband and I have done a lot of work on our relationship, and were at a crucial turning point (for the worse!) when a friend suggested this book. It was incredibly helfpul and counter much of what the typical relationship books say --- don't talk about the past! Don't go into couples counseling! (I had been saying we need to go back and look at the past, we need to do couple's counseling, my husband was totally against it). It's really about connecting with your loving feelings for each other. (If you are driving down the road with your spouse and all is well, and suddenly you realize he didn't take out the trash the night before and that makes you angry, is it really a good idea to bring that up just to prove a point or do you want to reconnect with the good feelings and let that anger pass by like a cloud?) This little book is packed with simple thoughts like that which have transformed my need to be right over my husband for all of his (supposed) infractions -- not an easy task!

Best Relationship Book

The Relationship Handbook is the best book on the subject I've ever seen. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. Also a human being who has relationships, and father, brother and friend of others in relationships. I have given many copies to family and friends, and regularly recommend the book to clients. I've also used the principles in classes about relationships. Brief, understandable, logical - an excellent resource!

a MUST study and read book for man AND woman

I have read and re-read this valuable book for more than 10 years. I have given it (new and used) to every newlywed and engaged couple I know ... including family. This book should be REQUIRED reading before anyone is allowed to get married OR divorced.

A better way

If therapy brings you down, this book will bring you up. Previously published as: "Divorce is not the answer: a change of heart will save your relationship" , this book is uplifting and offerers something precious.

This book is not at all like the other relationship books.

I collect self help books. I happened upon this book while going through my mom's things after her death. It is an older book, but with a dramatic difference from other self help books. I have learned so much positive information that actually makes sense. It is about compassion, intelligent conversation and actions. It shows how we over-react to situations and then things get all out of porportion. It also tells how to fix it and this is the one book that suggests that you alone, without the help of your partner, can put your relationship back on the right track. It is as basic and yet profound as can be. The main ideas is to use positive reinforcement and positive therapy to enable permanent change in relationships and their dynamics.
