"I learned a lot about myself and my own deeper motives and influences from this book. That alone has many practical purposes that can be immediately applied to my relationship. I would guess that the maximum benefit for this book would be gained when both people in the couple read it."
"I love this book! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and this is my go-to book when doing marriage counseling. Hendrix is great at explaining how we choose our mates and helping navigate through how to heal the wounds that need healing. I highly recommend this book to couples who need some help and to counselors who want to be better at marriage counseling."
"My sister a social worker/therapist recommended this book years ago and I bought it. It sat on my "to read" shelf for years until a Marriage and Family professor mentioned again in his talk at Sunstone. It has a clear and powerful premise. Our childhood and relationship with our parents subconsciously influences who we are attracted to and marry. We have the feeling this person will make us whole. After the romantic phase wears off and most couple slip into the power struggle phase where it is painfully clear that this person is not making us as whole as we would like to be.
The author is a psychologist who has worked with couples for many decades. The method he has developed it to help couples identify what it is that they crave most in their lives. He spends most of the book leading you to his conclusion that I found very powerful. It is that what will become most whole when we are able to learn what are partner needs and provide it for them. He suggests that we may have subconsciously picked a partner that can best help us change to become a more complete person. That this process of transformation that we undergo to meet our partners needs will make us whole. This was a unique and powerful concept that I had never considered before.
There are also a number of exercises in the back of the book to help married couples through this process. To me these were less important than the message and the thought process and self recognition that the book led me through."
"Dr. Hendrix classic that is a must read for everyone in, or wanting to be in, an intimate relationship. He makes a cogent and compelling case that our best chance for healing ourselves and our world comes from intimate relationship. Hendrix has designed a simple, optimally effective method for people to engender, foster and develop connection, which is the basis for fulfilling our needs as human beings. This author's works is both profound and accessible by anyone."
