5.0 out of 5 stars Saved our relationship!, July 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Long Distance Romance Guide (Paperback)

This book helped save our relationship! I am away from home on business about 10 days out of the month. While not excessive travel by todays standards, it was enough to strain on our relationship. The chapters on tele-lovemaking, handling disputes and the monogamy issue were extremely helpful. I never considered myself a romantic, but the rituals and care packages chapters eased our time apart giving us a sense closeness. It's a well laid out handbook, making it easy to find what you need when you need it - my girlfriend loves the "Romanspirations" at the back of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep this close by..., June 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Long Distance Romance Guide (Paperback)

I bought this after I saw the author on The Early Show with Bryant Gumbel. You can read this book straight through in a little over an hour, but the way to get the most out of it is to pick it up whenever you are seriously longing for your missing lover. The table of contents helps you target whatever ails you. The ideas I've gotten from this book have actually brought us closer. And the quotes and LDR-specific songs continue to give me comfort on lonely nights. Keep it by your nightstand, and have your other half do the same. I recommend this book to fellow business travelers.

The Long Distance Romance Guide is useful and interesting read - filled with inspiring ideas on how to keep a long distance relationship alive. Living in separate cities no longer has to result in feeling far away from the one you love. It is obvious that Ms. Karsner experience as an executive romance coach provides us all with the perfect insight into the easy to use principles associated with distance management for romance. On-line romance just became easier to maintain!
