5.0 out of 5 stars Helped my marriage, May 30, 2001
By 
This review is from: Divorce-Proofing Your Marriage: 10 Lies That Lead to Divorce and 10 Truths That Will Stop It (Paperback)
I saw Dr. Linda on television several times and then saw that Dr. Laura endorsed her book. I was intrigued and struggling in my own marriage. So I bought her new book and was so thankful I did. Dr. Linda not only gives helpful advice on how to strengthen marriage but she addresses the way we think about marriage. After reading her book, I realized how much my thoughts influenced my marital behavior. This revelation has literally saved my marraige in that I was thinking divorce. Now I am applying her ideas and seeing my marriage turn around for the better. Just practicing the Five to One Rule has helped. I have begun to Divorce Proof My Marriage! Donna in Carol Stream, IL.

5.0 out of 5 stars This will be a BEST SELLER!, May 22, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Divorce-Proofing Your Marriage: 10 Lies That Lead to Divorce and 10 Truths That Will Stop It (Paperback)
Dr. Linda has written a couple of good books. This one is AMAZING! I've never read anything like this one. She takes you down a familiar path (no matter what your marital status: newlywed, married, divorced, remarried) ...it has to be familiar because she tells so many real-life stories from 20 some years of therapy. She hits us all! I saw myself and my spouse on nearly every page. This is going to be one of those books people buy, read, and then buy another for their "friend" who's going through problems. Make room at the top of the BEST SELLER charts. Here comes Dr.Linda.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hope for Reconciliation, October 14, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Divorce-Proofing Your Marriage: 10 Lies That Lead to Divorce and 10 Truths That Will Stop It (Paperback)
Everyone married or to-be-married should read this book. Finally Christian based, excellent advise for a troubled marriage. I got excited, could relate, cried, felt overwelmed, and found hope in this book. It is the best advise I have read on honoring my marriage covenant (besides the Bible) in the past year.
