Marriage Counseling - Divorce Checklist - Relationship Questionnaire - Infidelity

Reviews

"This book is amazing. I went through this with my husband last year and the book was the only thing that made sense. People try to help you and offer you comfort in a time like this but rarely can someone or something tap RIGHT into what you are feeling. This is what this book does. When this happens, you are so confused and lost and have so many questions. This book helps anwser them and prepares you for confronting the problem and hopefully moving past it. It also offers a lot of hope in such a dim time. For someone going through this, I offer three suggestions: 1) BUY THIS BOOK! 2) Get yourself in personal counseling and 3) If and when your spouse is willing-get both of you into marraige counseling. I wish you the best if you are going through this but please-read this book. It is like a having a light in a dark cave. After counseling and praying and making decisions, I am happy to say my husband and I survived infidelity. We are now enjoying each other and loving each other on a whole new level. Take care. "

"I bought this book to help me understand and put perspective on my marriage. Last year I had an affair and told my husband. We both had a hard time. He couldnt understand why I did what I did, and neither could I. We had been married for 10 years and together for 13. After a few months he went and had an affair with a mutual friend. I couldnt understand and have spend the last year trying to understand and get through it. It was totally eating me up/ I know I did the exact same thing and several times more than he did. I was so hurt by the betrayal. I ordered this book and read it in 2 days. It had really helped me understand why I had an affair to begin with. I was trying to replace the romance I thought was missing. It gave good insight into what leads to the breakdown of a marriage and how to prevent it. I could have used this information a year ago. It also spoke of retalitory affairs. It shed some light on how my husband was feeling and how bad I had hurt him. After reading this book I was finally able to sit down and talk to him about everything that happened without either one of us getting mad and screaming. We are working on building trust and with the help of the knowledge we got from this book, I have faith in us. I would recommend it to anyone who is hurting like I was. "

"I have been searching for book on this subject for a loved one going through the extremely painful first stages of facing the infidelity of her mate. This book came highly recommended, so I ordered it for her, and indeed, its content is the most useful, practical and straightforward I have seen. I was unable, however, to give her this book because of the cover, which features the title in small print over a large photo of a sign that reads "motel." I'm sorry, but am I being too sensitive here? My friend is fresh off discovering her mate's long-term affair, conducted mostly at a motel near his office. How exactly is she to stop replaying the whole mess over and over again in her head when the book that is supposed to be helping her reminds her of the scene of her perceived humiliation every time she looks at it??? This is just plain dumb. I'm sure the book's cover designer was trying to go in a different direction than the covers of books on this subject that are as boring and clinical as an aspirin commercial. But geez, have a little class and empathy, will you? Too late now, of course. "

"This book saved my sanity and has given me back my confidence and self esteem. As I read it, I felt as if I could have written it. It is very balanced and easy to read without a lot of psycho-babble. I also liked it because it is written for both the "involved" partner and the "discovering" partner. I recommend this as the first book any partner should read when faced with this incredibly painful situation. I am still in the very beginning stages of recovery but this book helped restore my sense of hope in the future, whatever the outcome."

"Easy to understand and relate to. Helps you to understand all of the emotions involved and experienced. "

"This book was more helpful than any other that I read. As hard as this subject is to deal with, Don-David is able to take one to a place of realization and healing if there is a chance for that. "
