{"product_id":"9780985687670","title":"Relationship: Notes on Love, Mutual Respect, Boundaries, Marriage, and Divorce","description":"Relationships are not always easy but they can be happy, peaceful, and harmonious with a little effort. That's what I found in relationships over the years, and my goal with this book is to share much of what I've learned so readers might find something of value for their relationships. \u003cp\u003eLooking back on my life experience, I wish someone had shared some of this with me so I could have avoided learning many things the hard way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a precaution, I emphasized my lack of experience as a therapist which lead one of the first readers to comment as follows. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOftentimes clear, true insight comes from someone not \"trained\" or \"educated\" in a particular field of thought. This book represents one of those times. The subject of \"relationships\" is so complicated few outside the legal\/ counseling\/mental health arenas even attempt to address it for fear of being ignored, misunderstood or, worse yet, laughed at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author's conversational style makes his book about the subject quite easy to read\/understand and as one absorbs his meaning . . . believable. It rings so true that as I was reading, I kept wanting to cut out paragraphs to put on my computer, refrigerator, and bathroom mirror!\u003cbr\u003eRead this book. You will be glad you found it. In fact, you will probably send a copy to your child . . . I did! JHB, RN, BSN, MHA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother early reader said I found this book to be such an informative and important read offering tips for all types. I couldn't agree with the author more about never taking your partner for granted and that love means ALWAYS saying you're sorry- as quickly, whole-heartedly and as often as needed. I'd recommend Bill's book to add zest to an already good relationship or to help you create the one you long for. Denise Fleck\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRelationship: Notes on Love, Mutual Respect, Boundaries, Marriage, and Divorce contains ten easy to read and understand chapters with valuable, down-to-earth notes based on real life experience. In addition to a Preface and Introduction, the chapters are: \u003cbr\u003eWhat is Love\u003cbr\u003eWhat is A Good Relationship\u003cbr\u003eFostering and Nurturing Relationships\u003cbr\u003eHarming Relationships\u003cbr\u003eMutual Respect\u003cbr\u003eBoundaries\u003cbr\u003eMarriage\u003cbr\u003eBreakups\u003cbr\u003eDivorce\u003cbr\u003eHelpful Tips\u003cbr\u003eFinal Thoughts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile relationships are seldom simple, this book boils it down to no-fluff basics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot everything in this book will feel comfortable to everyone. You may find some of the suggestions uncomfortable or even intrusive. I fully expect some push back from men and perhaps some women. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo write this book, I felt it was essential to establish a definition of love, and this has caused some conversation, but I still feel strongly that happy relationships require a full understanding of love and such an understanding benefits from a firm definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery relationship involves two unique individuals and only you and your partner can decide what may be of value to you. I believe there is much in this book worth exploring, and I hope many couples will benefit from the reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'm fortunate to be in a wonderful relationship, and I wish everyone the same happiness that Barbara and I share. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the information in this book, I welcome your questions and comments by email at: bill@positive-imaging.com and at my relationship blog at: http:\/\/goodrelationships101.com\/.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Positive Imaging, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49859487564016,"sku":"9780985687670","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780985687670","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
