Editorial Reviews

Review

"Although many books have been written on how to survive the ending of a relationship, there seems to be no direction for how to re-enter a relationship successfully. This helpful and compassionate book is a blueprint for surviving the pain of separation, sorting out the pieces and reconstructing a partnership. Highly recommended!" -- Ken Druck, author of Secrets Men Keep

5.0 out of 5 stars Great advice if separated and desiring reconciliation..., November 23, 2004

This review is from: Getting Back Together: How to Create a New, Loving Relationship with Your Old Partner and Make It Last! (Paperback)

Speaking from past personal experience, this was an excellent self-help book for me when I was newly separated. It gives basic but excellent advice on how to deal with your estranged partner, pamper and take care of yourself, etc. The main lesson here is to remain detached but cordial to your ex while working to improve yourself.

I believe that the advice in this book helped me immensely in redefining the relationship with my husband that led to our reconciliation. But even if you don't succeed, you'll walk away from your relationship a better person with your head held high and your dignity intact. Either way, it's a win-win situation.

I sat in a Barnes and Noble for half a day. I looked at every book they had on relationships. This book was the only one that seemed to address my desire to have a positive reunion with my spouse. I've purchased a copy for my wife and we are using it as a common source of wisdom to learn to live with ourselves and with each other.

This book will give you guidance, give you a general plan when you feel directionless. There is no set playbook in getting one's spouse back, but this book will point you towards some things you need to consider. In the end, your particular answers are within yourself, not any book. I highly recommend reading it and visiting relationship resource dot com.
