1. a constructive approach to a sensitive problem

   March 11th, 2009

   Kudos to Mort Fertel. Relationships are difficult to understand at the best of times, especially for left-brain dominant people like me. Mort Fertel does an AMAZING job of getting to those ‘places’ that we all get to at some time. Instead of wallowing in self-pity and sitting in a rut, he helps the willing dig out and get going again.

2. Wish I would have read this before we were separated :(

   March 11th, 2009

   I read this book in one sitting. That’s how desperate I am to bridge the gap between my husband and me. However, it’s going to be really hard to implement the really sound advice offered within as my husband has already moved out. And he’s not sure he wants to come back. Ever. So, that being said, I wish I would have read this book before we reached crisis mode. If you really want your marriage to be based on deep and unconditional love, it does take work. The advice and exercises contained in the book seem really intense, but I read it with an open heart, and I know deep inside that a lot of these exercises (as touchy-feely as they are) can make a relationship so deep and loving.

3. Turn Your Relationship Into Something Super

   March 11th, 2009

   I haven’t read this book since last year so unfortunately I can’t get too specific. I want to reread it. The author explains his philosophy and then gives you specific daily, weekly and yearly assignments to do that will enhance your intimacy together.

4. Superb Book on Making Marriage Work

   March 11th, 2009

   For couples whose marriage is in trouble, this is a superb book! I wish I had had it before counselling, it is much better than anything any counsellor can say! Rather than concentrating on your problems, this concentrates on SOLUTIONS!

5. Marriage

   I would recommend the book to any couple whether they are having relationship problems or not. It gives many examples of ways to uplift each other. I received it in a very short period of time.

6. A marriage saver

   This is a totally awesome program that saved my marriage. You go beyond your problems and begin anew to connect with your spouse and create phenomenal love. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

7. Best advice

   July 5th, 2009

   Mort Fertel speaks from experience and has an aptitude for sharing with others and understanding where they are coming from. Even if your marriage doesn’t turn around for the better, you will become a better person if you take to heart the practical insight Mort gives.

8. In general very good

   I like this disc / program a lot. It provides good ideas that can be helpful to make your marriage / relationship better. BUT, it takes two to make things work and if your spouse or significant other is “checked out” I dont think this will solve your problems.

9. Might be good, but it will be awhile before you get to it...

   If you’re looking for something that gets straight to the point, this is not it. I was reading it to my husband and thinking to myself “When are we going to get to the substance” and my husband said, “He’s long Winded”. We don’t have any marriage problems, we’re just trying to prevent them. I don’t know if the author is religious or not. But the concept of the book is loving the other person no matter what (like Jesus loves us despite what we do). This is a great concept, so if you want to go that route you may want to try the “Love Dare” at the very least, watch “FireProof”. Both are Christian based, which like I said is the basis of this book, but he doesn’t mention God, Jesus or religion of any kind. If you know your maker, it’s clear he avoids this in the book. This may be to appeal to the non-religious & teach them a religious concept w/o telling them. So, if you don’t believe in God & making him/his ways the center of your marriage, this may be your book. If you do believe, there are a lot better books that get straight to the point.

10. Very good

    I really enjoyed the book. It is great for marriages of all situations not just those who are in trouble.

11. Best Marriage Book I've ever read

    January 2nd, 2010

    This is an excellent book on marriage with so many common-sense suggestions. My husband and I read it a couple of years ago, and I bought it this time for a friend.
