 Deceptive Reviews, 2008-09-14
I bought this book thinking it would be helpful in my marriage. My husband is a wonderful man, but very strong in his opinions. I thought reading this book would help me to be more firm in my own opinions when they differ from his. Instead it was a book that told women to separate themselves from their spouse in finances and in their personal lives! The number one cause for divorce in the first 5 years in America is money problems and having separate account inflames those issues. I would not recommend this book to any of my friends! This book is only for emotionally abused women. The average women looking for some tips on how to improve their marriage should not read this. It was a complete waste of my money.
One of the best, 2008-06-17
I've heard it said that the most important relationship a person can have is the one they have with themselves. It's that bit of wisdom that is at the heart of this book. It isn't some glib, flavor-of-the-moment, one-size-fits-all typical relationship book. It won't ask you to play by any "rules" or tell you that men are from a different planet or show you how to figure out if a guy is into you or not. The danger with those books is that they are too superficial and general and in the wrong hands can do much more harm than good. Just look at some of their reviews and you'll see what I mean.
I suspect that there isn't a woman out there who has picked up one of those books who would not be much better served by reading this one instead. Almost all women have some propensity to lose themselves in their romantic relationships with men and when those relationships fail or become unsatisfying they want to know why it happened. Ms. Engel tells us that we have to look within ourselves to find those answers.
The bad news is that finding those answers takes work. The good news is that it can be done and I guarantee that if you read this book you will start to find out more about yourself than you ever will by reading the current self-help best seller.
Most of us are so focused on our relationships with men that we neglect the one with have with ourselves. This book will help you get back in touch with who you are as a person. It shifts the focus from men back onto ourselves and helps us find ways to become fully realized, individual adult human beings. It's only by doing this that we can prepare ourselves to enter into healthier relationships with men.
One of the things that I liked the most about this book is that the author doesn't pretend that her book is a cure-all. She recognizes that a lot of the issues she touches on go well beyond the scope of the book but she offers up lots of resources and places to turn for further assistance with those problems. She knows a lot about her subject matter and the book is well written and well researched.
Beverly Engel asks us to look inside ourselves, to accept ourselves, to change the things that need to be changed, to find our voices, express our opinions, find ways to recover from less than ideal parenting, and so much more. She shows you how to begin this process and offers help and support along the way. But doing the work is ultimately up to you.
I urge you to get your hands on a copy of this book as soon as possible. All women can benefit from it, whether you are currently in a relationship with a man or not. I am so glad that I found it.
If you are looking, you need this book!, 2008-01-29
I am amazed at how dead on every chapter of this book was for me. If you have problems keeping your footing in relationships, you MUST read this book!

I am in the throes of a very painful break-up and this book is saving my life. I am a classic "disappearing woman" and I have had 3 painfully dysfunctional MAJOR relationships to prove it. This book is giving me more insight into why I choose the men I do and, more importantly, the hope and the tools to change my life and be able to have a healthy relationship one day.
Essential for all women, 2007-07-05
Loving Him Without Loosing You has been one of the best books I have read. Not only gives you the notion the book is actually talking about how you feel it also helps you understand many unanswered questions about the relationship and yourself. In fact, I like the book so much I recommended the book to many of my female friends. Loving Him Without Loosing You is definitely a book every woman should read.
