Negative Positive
Title: This book is ok. I don't recommend it.
Review: Harley has a firm stance on making marriages last at all costs. Sometimes the memories can be so haunting that it may be best to move on. There are several points in the book where he tells one member of the couple what to do. This is in opposition to most (individual) counseling sessions where self exploration is key, and where the client ultimately determines what they should do. I think there are some good points in the book, and it's a quick simple read. I also don't particularly like that his theories are not backed by research. It seems like he is pulling the four rules to marital recovery out of thin air just because they may sound like they work. I recently purchased His Needs, Her needs by Harley to get a better understanding of his style but after reading this book I'm not looking forward to reading that one. Overall this book is 2 stars and I would recommend it. I hope to find better books on this subject.
Is the review positive or negative?
