Review: Very helpful after divorce and before your next relationship - Having split up nearly two years ago and done a lot of processing of what happened in my first marriage, and why, I decided I was ready to start socializing or dating again. However, knowing that second marriages have a higher divorce rate than first marriages (and never wanting to go through another divorce) I decided it would be helpful to start preparing now. I wanted to know what to look for in a woman, and what are the warning signs I should look for. I also knew that I needed to look at myself to determine if I was truly ready for another relationship. To that end, I began to research books on this topic and start studying. Obviously Townsend has some credibility on this topic with his seminal book "Boundaries" co-authored with Cloud. The question is, "Does this book bring new insights to the topic of second marriages that aren't covered elsewhere?" The bottom line is that this book does not disappoint. It has a wealth of useful tools to assess the situation you're getting into. It reads easily and the topics are clear, specific and understandable. Of course, the trick is to learn how to change your behavior to be successful in relationships, but that comes with study and practice. Here are some very powerful things I learned from this book: - Why I am feeling like I want to be in a relationship again after I decided to be content being alone for the rest of my life. - How relationships get broken - and how we often react in ways that widen the gulf between spouses. - Protective Boundaries and Defining Boundaries - what they are and how they work together. - Why we have a built-in desire to be in relationships, and the problems that can arise. - How do I know when I'm ready for another relationsip? - The need for close, intimate friends during the healing process. - The need for being vulnerable and for taking risks. - Which risks are worth taking and which ones aren't. - How do I know when the other person is ready? - How to have the "DTR talk." (Define The Relationship) - Moving forward as a couple. The book is concisely written - not a lot of extra words. It's filled with lots of examples to make his points clear. Because it's written so efficiently I had a hard time putting it down. There was so much information I took notes in a document that I can refer to later on. I'm so glad I read this book before my next marriage. It will give me time to learn new skills and to prepare properly. Just as it took nearly two years to heal from divorce, it could take that long or more to start training for my next marriage. If I do that properly I hope to avoid a second divorce and find a deep level of intimacy and love.
Review: Power-packed, Life-changing - I had just set a boundary with a difficult person. I was really at a loss as to how to proceed from there. I felt guilty and selfish and was ready to backtrack. I needed a solution, since it was essential that I continue in relationship with that person. Then I googled and found this book. What a lifesaver! How often do you find a book that exactly addresses your need? Where page after page lays out logically a plan for you to follow to find wholeness while honoring God's plan for respecting others? Where the language is real and not technical jargon, where the examples are many and profoundly enhance your understanding of the concepts? Where you see those who have hurt you in the examples but also see yourself and how you have hurt others? This is such a book. From cover to cover it is an easy yet power-packed read. It has not just shown me how to navigate the difficult relationships in my life that I feel I have been a victim of, but it has given me a roadmap as to how to consciously create rewarding relationships in the future, which, because of childhood trauma, I have never been able to do. I am so hopeful now about my future. Thank you Dr. John Townsend!
