The stories are interesting and very relatable. I enjoyed how the author focused on unconditional love. I would recommend this book for any of my friends, married or not, because it has helpful tools and exercises. I also feel that this book helped me when I wasn’t even looking for help. It showed me what I was doing right and what I can improve on in my marriage,as well as in other relationships in my life. I always knew marriage would take constant and consistent work, but I enjoyed the idea of mapping out a shared vision/plan.

It was an enjoyable and easy read that I wanted to continue reading, with a new and original twist on the information about love that kept me intrigued throughout. It will have a positive influence on anyone who reads it.

I was pleasantly surprised with how well the tone complimented the content and made it accessible and easy to read. Many relationship advice books seem overly instructional, but the more conversational tone in this book made it enjoyable to read. I was especially interested in the self-love topic. The concept of unconditional love being like a generator that you need to keep on and not hit the off switch even if you’re upset is one I plan to try and integrate into my daily life.

There are valuable ideas here. The idea of identifying and then replacing your unloving habits (both to self and others) was great. It’s meaningful to really acknowledge the ways you self-sabotage or are unloving to others, and then consciously work at reversing them instead of hoping they will change on their own.

The concept of learning to truly love unconditionally is one I have never before considered. I appreciated the new view point as it has the potential to change and improve all my relationships. It has greatly changed the way I look at how I love. I had never considered before the damage I might have done in past relationships by loving conditionally. .

The book taught me to be consciously aware of the on and off switch associated with conditional love. I will be more patient with myself and my loved ones and notice how people react to what I say and do.

It was an easy, enjoyable read. Relationships can be stressful; people don’t need additional stress from a psychology/relationship book that is difficult to understand. I liked that the “Nine Laws for Fulfilling Relationships” were included right at the beginning. It presented an accurate and powerful tone and style of the book.

I never understood that if I don’t love myself, it is more difficult to love others fully. That’s something I really accepted and it helped me change the way I feel about myself.

I found the style to be a quick read, especially if one reads self-help/ relationship books. The Shared Vision is very interesting. My husband and I are creating ours this weekend. I am a firm believer that one can ALWAYS improve their situation, etc., I found some great ideas to incorporate into my life and marriage.

The tone is perfect and allows a couple to work together on exercises. It also helps each one understand the process of marriage is teamwork.

I found reading this very interesting, and although I’m not in a relationship at the moment, I think a couple can benefit tremendously from the content in this book. It made me realize that I tend to walk away from arguments, not realizing that I was hurting others when I did. I personally liked the length of the book, short, because it goes to the point without was ting time.

I found the idea that love –of yourself - may be the key to happiness, very liberating and new. I also loved the idea that you can Love Unconditionally without being taken advantage of.

I found Deutsch's theory believable and helpful; the need for unconditional love for a healthy life was well made and the casual, conversational tone very engaging and appealing.

The book held my interest and reminded me to love myself in order to fully appreciate my partner and give love unconditionally. It helped reawaken my perspective on how to love and be loved.

The concept that someone who truly feels ‘heard’/understood, will let go of the issue was new to me. I can attest to this in my own life experience. While I understood that intrinsically, it is the first time I’ve read that concept stated so specifically and clearly.

I am a very loving person and because my love is unconditional I was often a pushover. Reading about how being unconditional is a good thing as long as I stand up for myself in a loving way was really empowering to hear. No more pushover.

I really enjoyed the stories and how they tied in everything the book talked about. The book felt like the author was talking to me. Like a conversation I would have with a friend or a counselor and I wanted to talk back to it.

The situations were relatable to my personal experiences from previous relationships. Ultimately, the book helped me to better understand marriage and learn how to approach conflicts in positive ways.
