A must read for someone trying to reconcile... - By: , 26 Aug 1999 
If you are trying to save your marriage by yourself - then get this book & practice it's concepts. The book is well-written & easily understood. It has helped me tremendously in attempting to reconcile my marriage.
Great starting point - By: , 30 Jun 1999 
The book is a "getting started" approach to getting a marriage back on track. The solution based method is a "let's do this now & not worry about your childhood method". This alllows marital issues to be addressed immediately, & she claims, for a couple to find some success immediately as well. However, the author doesn't acknowledge that some of those deep seated issues may well need to be addressed--even if they come after the immediate conflict is resolved. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is starting to think that divorce is an option--it's a great place to start.
FINALLY! A book that we can actually understand and utilize - By: , 17 Sep 1998 This book takes a positive approach to helping people take steps to improve not only their relationship but their lives.
I very much enjoyed the book & it has helped me tremendously.
I strongly suggest this book to anyone that wants a better relationship. It will make you a better person in the process.
Immediate help to retreat from the brink - not long term - By: , 03 Aug 1998 
Although this book is great to help the couples that need help to retreat from the brink of disaster, it has little or no effect on the deep rooted problems that may be plaguing a relationship. Best if used with both committed to change the problems in a relationship. The one person techniques were only minimallly effective & dependent upon that one individuals determination to remain married.
Clear, Concise, Helpful - By: , 16 May 1998 As a single person who had to read this book for a counseling class, I was very impressed by Weiner-Davis' clear, concise writing. As a daughter of divorced parents who fears repeating that painful mistake, this book gave me hope that my own marriage someday can be "divorce proof". In the end it reaffirms what ALL counselors should be saying to couples: I BELIEVE in your marriage, here is how YOU can too!
