I went through one divorce. I thought I could "fix" him. Ladies, knowledge is more than power. It's a way to prevent future pain.

Gentleman, this book is for you too. No side tricks to snatch your freedom away from you.

I've read a lot of relationship books. They all have some kind of trick to induce the guy into your net. Not this one!

Being "The One" is a fair and balanced way to heal the pain or get out of the pain, and learn how to relate authentically, for both people, equally.

I'm recommending this book to everyone I know who is still stressed out from an unhappy relationship. This book is THE ONE to read.

Gently yet persuasively, Barbara teaches in this powerful book what it takes to develop a successful relationship. You will learn how to make changes in the limiting scripts you have been carrying in your subconscious mind. You will also learn how to remove the games and manipulations from the equation to elevate your relationship to a level you never knew possible.

Barbara's words shed great light on the sanctity of relationships. She shares with us the most important aspects to creating a relationship so the relationship as a whole is served as well as the individuals. She teaches us the true meaning of win/win relationships allowing each person to thrive and grow individually while at the same time supporting each other to be the best one can be.
You must read this book if you're struggling in your relationship, looking for a relationship or in a relationship and wanting to make it even better! Barbara's pure heart and Divine guidance shines through on every page!

If you're looking for a book that will give you answers about how to succeed in a relationship while you remain true to yourself, then this book will give that to you. It's a great read. It shows the way clearly with guidance that will lift you to a higher level. More than anything, there are no games in this book, there are answers. The book ends with a fantastic chapter about "sacred relationships" from Divine source that can only help humanity as a whole evolve to a higher level in relationships. It certainly helped me a lot.

The premise of this book suggests that you will stop stringing yourself along, and learn how to be "the one" and that is EXACTLY what this book delivers.
I'm a guy, and as I read this book I got to understand more about myself, and how I relate with women.

The book shares in a straightforward way how to create the standards you want in a relationship, and stick by them, so that you're sticking to your truth, and not jerking yourself around, or "stringing along" another person.

The book shows how to be your real self, without all of the walls and the games that many people play in relationships. I learned more as I continued to read the questions and answers, and then even more in the chapter on "sacred relationships" from divine source, which gave me an entirely new perspective on male/female relationships in general, and that perspective helped me see and understand more about how to relate genuinely, and "treat the other person the way you would want them to treat you."

This book has excellent answers, real advice that is in a tone that tells it like it is, while bringing a higher perspective to all of our romantic relationships.

The book helped me a lot. I learned a lot, and I am better on the inside after reading it. Coming from a guy, if that means anything, this book raised my self awareness, and made me much more aware about how to treat a woman, baaed on my own self worth, and how I allow myself to be treated. I'm grateful to the author, and I believe after reading this book you will be too.

Barbara Rose really hits the mark in this gem! With profound wisdom gained from her own deeply painful experiences of settling for troubling, unfulfilling relationships, and her subsequent recognition that she deserved no less than a reflection of her own divine Self, Barbara clearly and powerfully--but lovingly and gently--tells it like it is.

She motivates her readers to take a bold look at their relationship dynamics, and take a stand for their own truth and their own divine beingness, so as to clear the way for magnetizing a relationship that empowers their highest possibilities for joy and fulfillment. Don't be fooled by the compact size of this book--like a fine chocolate truffle, it is small, but filled with rich substance. If you don't need this book for yourself, get it for everyone you know in relationships that are not enhancing and empowering their lives. It is an invaluable resource--not just for healing relationhip issues with others, but for healing one's relationship with one's Self!

There is a lot of pertinent information in this book regarding relationships, and there are a couple of passages I want to quote which expressed what being "The One" means:

"To attract, thrive, and share a life with The One, to grow together, you have to be The One at all times, with zero games."

"Being The One means you do not settle. You refuse to settle because you know your worth. You refuse to manipulate just to get what you want by deception of any kind; you have too much integrity to lower yourself by playing manipulation games. You have too much self-love to sacrifice your truth. You have too much self-honesty to keep quiet out of fear. You care too much for the other as an equal member of the human race to even consider asking him to sacrifice his truth just to please you."

I enjoyed reading this book a lot, and got a lot out of it.

I bought this book hoping to find answers in relationships and that is just what I got from this book. Barbara Rose really hits the nail on the head in each chapter.

1. "String Along Valley" shows "the dating game" and the "string along excuses" standards that any human being needs to have, and gives excellent advice with the string along warning signs.

2. "Mixed Messages" what to do when you don't know what he (or she) is going to do. The role of honesty, the "make-up, break-up cycle", "The I can fix him myth", the "just friends scenario" and "how to move on when you still love someone." This chapter brings great clarity to all of the above.

3. "Lifting yourself out of the valley of misery", along with "addressing fears of ending a relationship", "igniting your passion and purpose" and "who you are from the inside out" all bring outstanding advice on exactly how to handle each topic.

4. "Catch me if you can" this chapter deals incredibly well with "mixed signals" and exactly how to handle them.

5. "The mating game" gets serious with "warning signs of perpetual dating", "the string along wife", "torn between two lovers", "till death do us part" and "finding the courage to leave the string along life". An engaging chapter dealing with very real situations. The advice is real, authentic, empowering, and doable.

6. "Dating for all the wrong reasons", "from expectation to authenticity", "when you can't be bought", "options", "No permission, validation or approval needed" (buy this book for this chapter alone!) "Healing string along misery" and "the waiting game" all bring fantastic advice that will stay with you for a long time.

7. "Love, compassion and the complex relationship", "when to stay", "when to leave", "loving and leaving", "stringing yourself along", "what is and what `could' be", "the yo-yo syndrome", "50 reasons to stay" (and you do need all of them) "50 reasons to leave skid marks" (Just one is reason enough to run fast!) This chapter is worth the books price per page.

8. "Getting real in a relationship", "being equals", "Being who you are and true to yourself", "taking the games out of relationships". I would re-print this chapter alone and hand it out to every male and female on earth, it is that important.

9. "Answers to the 10 most common relationship questions". No matter who you are, or what your situation is, you will definitely find true wisdom in the answers to real questions from real people.

10. "Sacred relationships" "the questions and answers from divine source". This chapter is nothing short of enlightening. It puts the finishing touch on a relationship book with spiritual answers that will help everyone in relationships operate from a much higher level.

11. My opinion, If you never read another relationship book, read this one.

The info in this book hits it right on for both sexes. I used to play a lot of the games shown in this book, and after reading it, I realize how much I was stringing myself along, along with the women in my life. That's a lot to admit, but the truth is that after reading this book, I now know better. The book reads really easily, and shows how to evolve spiritually in relationships in a way that is easy to apply and understand. It's a fast read, and more than anything, extremely insightful.

I'll call it the "must have red book for relationships"!

Barbara Rose did a great job in bringing clarity to relationships for both men and women. I learned a lot from this book, more than I thought I would. The "string along warning signs" questions and answers provided, the "standards" that we all need to have, and the divine information on "sacred relationships" all bring a higher perspective, while keeping it simple, easy to apply and understand. I would share this book with many others that have had or are having difficulties in relationships. It's a great read, and a great book!
