Changed My Life
This book is absolutley fabulous! I did not purchase it off Amazon.com, but at a bookstore. I read a little of the later chapters and put it back in search of another book. I found myself back at this book once again. I took the time to read the first few chapters, and it is so elightening. I always thought my partners were the one's who caused my relationship problems, and this book has made me take a good look at myself and realize my actions and feelings were the true problem. For anyone that feels they never seem to get what they need out a relationship, it may be time to read this book and do some self-reflection. It may not be you that is the cause, but those that you engage in relationships with. This book will help. BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT!

This book will change your life!
I read this book a few years ago and it felt like someone was looking in my windows. It was so hard to believe there was a whole world of people out there who felt exactly the same was as I did. Insecurity does not equal love. It might produce the butterflies but that is not love. I found that I was always smothering my husband and this led to his withdrawing from me even further. If you find that you are obssessed with thinking your mate is cheating or you have been told by someone "I need my space" then this book is a must read for you. It also gives valuable information for single people so they can avoid scaring away any prospective mates. I passed on my copy and hope it's still in circulation out there. I can't recommend this book enough!

When we initially published this book fifteen years ago, we feared that it wouldn't do well among mass market self-help books. It seemed too scientifically oriented and concerned with explaining the intricacies of the research results, rather than giving the quick 'good feelings' which seem to characterize self-help books. Academic and professional colleagues who enjoyed the book, and some who required it in their college classes, sometimes asked, "Why don't you write a popular version of this book?" -- And our answer always has been, "This IS the popular version!"Fifteen years in the bookstores, and 18 printings later, we are delighted to confirm that good research leads to a lasting contribution. While thousands of self-help books on love relationships have come and gone in the past fifteen years, this book has only grown in popularity with the passing years. It vindicates us about our earliest tenet in writing the book: that a rigorous effort at presenting scientifically-grounded information to be public is worthwhile, and that the reader should not be underestimated.
