All about Us: For the Two of You: Guided Journal

This book helped me & my husband get a better understanding of each other and made us laugh out loud together (because of some of the goofy humorous answers we came up with!)! We did this book 3 years ago together, and then it was put away somewhere. I hadn't seen it since then, when last week I suddenly found it. Intrigued, I pulled it out and shared it with my husband. We had the best night laughing and going, "Oh that's so true still!" It brought us closer than we had been in awhile. I thik it made us stop to focus on our love and relationship & let go of all the daily 'garbage' that everyone stresses over. I would recommend this book to ANY couple!

I learned about this book as a result of my enjoyment of Mr. Keel's book, All About Me. I wasn't quite sure what the focus of a book called All About Us would be, but I was interested in finding out. I am glad that I was curious, because this book took me towards new and improved thoughts about my wife and our relationship.Before reading further, let me emphasize a few things. This is not a book about romance, nor a guide to improve your relationship (see Relationship Rescue for that). You are encouraged to pursue this book's questions in a spirit of adventure and fun. If the idea of answering questions from a book is not your idea of adventure and fun, this book is not for you. So most people who will read and enjoy this book are ones in a good or excellent relationship who want to deepen and widen it some. One final word of caution. There are a lot of questions in here about your sexual experiences with other people (before and during your relationship), your fantasies, and your sexual regrets. If those are not comfortable areas for a discussion, I suggest that you either skip the book or mutually agree to pass on those areas. Another way to pursue the book (if your partner or you isn't comfortable with a discussion) is to do it privately, without sharing your answers. That makes the book experience much more like All About Me. You should also feel free to make up your own questions. You will probably think of some that make this experience fit your relationship even better. This is a chance for all of you romantic couples to come up with lots of romantic questions. As I went through the book (by myself, for reviewing purposes -- I plan to start it this weekend with my wife), I had a very good time. I enjoyed remembering the early days of our relationship, and the high points since then. I was thrilled to realize that I could answer some of the trivia questions that I would not have known about before we were married. That made me feel closer to her. I especially liked the questions about what I liked best about her. I know she'll enjoy hearing me say what they are.Hmmm. Now that I think about it, this would be a good book to take along on a weekend to a country inn during leaf peeping season in New England without the children. Your selection of where you read it will also affect your pleasure from the mutual discoveries.In almost all of the parts of the book, each person has a chance to answer independently. Although the book doesn't say anything about discussing each other's answers, I suspect that those discussions will be the best part of the experience. You could even try guessing what your partner will answer, and that could double the fun!Basically, I suggest that you use the material here as a jumping off point for adventure and fun rather than taking the whole thing too literally. After you are done, think about how you would like you and your partner to answer these que

This book is fantastic. I bought it to fill it out alone, to just think about my relationship with the help of some questions but, unexpectedly, my boyfriend wanted to fill it out together. It really helped us discuss subjects we would never have brought up without this book. It was as if I interviewed my boyfriend with all the questions I want to know the answers to but would have never asked. Our sex life has dramatically improved, too.

I bought this book on Valentines Day with my partner, and it has opened so many doors to great conversations and a better understanding of one another. Not to mention that it is SO MUCH FUN! I reccomend this to anyone who likes evenings at home just enjoying your partner and good talks about each other and yourself.

It is amazing how many things we don't know about those we love but assume that we do. This is an emotional adventure and a game of discovery for you and the one that you love, think you love or try to love. You will be sure to find this book a rewarding experience -entertaining, insightful, revealing, fair.
