4Helpful and Insightful  May 21, 2009
Be prepared for a lot of explanation in the first few chapters of this book. I was almost deterred by this, but so glad I continued reading. Hendrix offers a lot of insightful information and helpful tactics in chapters that follow the explanations at the beginning. This helped me and in turn, helped me preserve a good relationship.
Hendrix explains things in an intelligent, though easy-to-understand way and gives the reader hope.

Highly recommended!

5Worth reading and go further than this!  Apr 02, 2009
Like the author, I too am a qualified counsellor (with thirty years experience) and have also survived the break up of a first marriage. We married very young; however, neither my former husband nor myself ever considered our marriage a "failure" because we both learned a lot about ourselves both during the twenty plus years we spent together and during the break-up of the marriage. Had it not been for lessons learned, perhaps I would never have found the true and lasting love I have today.
The author is quite correct in saying the relationships and events of our childhood play a major role in determining the type of person we are today, and those same experiences can and do influence our relationships either in a positive or negative manner. He is also correct in saying that the majority of long and lasting relationships do begin as "passionate friends." Partners not only have to love each other, they have to like each other, have the same goals, share the same views for raising children, and share their feelings. Good communication, honesty and respect for each other's feelings is is a must! Lust, passion and hormones running on high are enough to make any new relationship seem like "the love of a lifetime," but, alas, it is going to take a lot more than hormones to withstand life's trials and tribulations. Hendrix is right on the mark with the words of wisdom and advice he gives in this book. From my many years experience as a counsellor, I have found that individuals who fail to realize the value of book such as this, are usually the ones who need the help the most...or else why would they be reading the book in the first place? This will definitely be a book that will be highly recommended to those seeking quality self-help material. I also highly recommend - Become a Total Man Magnet: Make Every Man Fall in Love with You Instantly - Make Him Chase You Down Desperately and Beg for Attention



5Hendrix Is a Master  Mar 24, 2009
Hendrix is brilliant and loving. The truth of his wisdom resonates with your own experience. And you can FEEL his insight and compassion on the pages. If you really want to learn what's keeping you from the love you want, you will in this masterpiece. Jan Denise, "Inside Relationships" columnist and author of "Innately Good: Dispelling the Myth That You're Not"

5getting the love you want  Feb 04, 2009
fantastic book! really gives a couple a "process" to follow to help a troubled marriage or would also be v worthwhile for a completely healthy marriage. it is based on premise that the way you were parented has much to do with way you behave in a relationship. the more i read, the truer it is. he has very specific exercises to perform that are a great help
