We Have Settled For More!, December 20, 2005
This review is from: Settle for More: You Can Have the Relationship You Always Wanted... Guaranteed! (Hardcover)
We have settled for more and we are adoring it!
27 years of marriage with all forms of challenges, highs and lows, often feeling like we were anchored in quicksand!
One absolute certainty was our shared love for our five beautiful children.
Close to a certainty was the knowledge that come hell or high water{and experienced copious amounts of both!}we wanted to stay together~~~~~~~~most of the time.
Yet for two reasonably intelligent people we couldn't figure out how to!?
D I Y was often a D I S A S T E R
The counselling trail led to short lived joys~~
Tom Merril and Bobbie Sandoz-Merril's book has been positively brilliant for us!
Results include;
* Open hearted intimacy
*a passion for holding each others spirits in the palms of our hands
*outward signs of mutual respect
*a quiet ,cosy lasting joy
*a physical depth
* and loads of laughter
We wanted what " Settling For More" described
More over the book positively bulges with not so common , common sense.It is practical and speaks clearly to both genders . Charles appreciated the concrete , goal oriented examples and exercises.
I found great solace in discovering my relationship expectations are on the reality radar , ready to be actualized.
Merci and Blessings to both authors ~ What a gift you have created between the covers of your book !!!

From a psychotherapist, February 2, 2006
This review is from: Settle for More: You Can Have the Relationship You Always Wanted... Guaranteed! (Hardcover)
I have been using the book Settle for More by Tom and Bobbie Merrill as a therapeutic tool for couples experiencing relationship discord. The authors write in a simple flowing style which helps couples grasp the concepts of a positive relaltionship. It teaches them how to apply these concepts. My patients are loving the book and are improving their relationships.

You can have your romance and keep it, too!, November 9, 2005
This review is from: Settle for More: You Can Have the Relationship You Always Wanted... Guaranteed! (Hardcover)
Settle for More spelled out the simple concept that for a relationship to be sustainable, loving, satisfying, it must be fed with honoring, kindness, loving and caring. The "falling in love" stage can be perpetuated and expanded through this basic, simple premise. But the problem is, simple is not so simple in reality. We all need illumination and practise to turn the concept into day to day, minute to minute living. The Merrills lead us through this rewarding path
