Mel Krantzler explains in detail, and with humor, the phases the human goes through after a divorce, to get them to a point of re-connecting again in an intimate relationship. I found myself (as he explains) bouncing back and forth between phases, each time I had another breakup..This book is a must read for the person (either male or female), who's found themselves alone again after divorce, break-up, or death of a life partner; before you even consider a new relationship..

For 10 months, I've been dating a not-so-recently divorced man (over 3 1/2 years ago) and this book has helped me understand him more than any other book or person. When we met, he apparently thought he was in Stage 4 (Ready for Commitment) but it turns out he's in Stage 3 (Come Closer/Go Away). If not for Learning to Love Again, I probably would have written him off months ago but the book really helped me understand what's going through his head. I just wish the book were longer!!

Hello! Well this book was ok, an average book. However, not being divorced myself I may not appreciate the wisdom here fully. I believe in life long commitments and I don't believe in easy divorce. But this is more about life AFTER divorce, for those of you who have been through divorce whether out of stupidity or wisdom, out of selfishness or generosity, evil or good. Here, you get some tips to get your life back together. Although the casual attitude toward sex in this book may be a reflection of its time (the eighties before AIDS and HIV). So folks, if you have been divorced and still feel like living this may make the rolling Sisiphus ball more bearable for you. I would put my own advice: Never take marriage casually.
