Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

By following 10 "Miracle Marriage" laws, those who have lost the rapture of first love can now evolve "a new feeling of mutual devotion . . . beyond their wildest dreams," asserts popular TV-show family therapist Pearsall ( Super Marital Sex ). Troubled couples of all genders and ages, he tells us, must make a choice between "low" and "high" monogamy, each type with its own goals and laws--e.g., the "undirected attachment" of the "low" binds a child to its mother; and the "high" consists of a "reciprocal . . . loving unit of one," following the transcendental laws of the universe. The text is overloaded with "how-to" headings, catch-phrases, and questionable shortcuts to marital paradise, as well as flights of scientific fancy that seek unlikely parallels--to wit, the "Oneness" among fellow creatures or cosmic and quantum principles as displayed in a specactular solar eclipse in Maui. So handle this book, weary marrieds, with skepticism.

5.0 out of 5 stars If I had only known sooner., October 22, 2000

This review is from: The Ten Laws of Lasting Love (Paperback)

I think Paul Pearsall is right on target in his evaluations of marriage, intimacy, and divorce. His reasearch has opened windows of information to me. If I had read this during my relationship with my wife of seventeen years, we would still be together now. Contained in the book is a miracle marriage manual which is extremely useful for couples. As it is, it has helped me to understand the things that went wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only relationship book you'll ever need, December 6, 2002

This is by far the most lucid, well-grounded book on creating a successful marriage/relationship I've ever read. It is useful and practical, not gimmicky or trendy, and goes straight to the heart of what's truly important. The author himself has been happily married for many years (unlike some self-proclaimed relationship gurus). This book also includes the sage advice of couples who've reached their fiftieth wedding anniversaries. Who better to learn how to have a healthy, loving marriage from than those who have done it themselves?!

Good ideas in a wordy format. A bit new agey for me suggesting marriage as the ultimate single point of life rather than pursuing God or self.
