Relationship Rules, 12 Strategies for Creating a Love That Lasts

"Relationship Rules" is fantabulous. On a scale of 1-5, it is a 20. I am completely overwhelmed by this book. It has given me some great ideas on how I can improve my relationship with my wife. I am using these ideas whenever I need to do something special for my wife.I believe anyone in a relationship could benefit from this book.

Janet has managed to write us a book that everyone should be given before they get married. I have always said, if someone would have just given us the "rules", well, here it is. It is easy to read and understand and really easy to implement. It keeps you focused on being a good partner and keeping and maintaining it for life. If I had known one of the rules in this book many years ago, I believe there would have been a different outcome in my life.

This easy to understand handbook is a must for any couple. The book is just the right size to keep handy at all times. While the 125 pages are a quick read, this is certainly a book you will turn to again and again. Janice Hoffman's sections "For Women" and "For Men" are terrific and give each half of the relationship express guidance into the mysteries of the opposite sex. The tools in the book, while not amazing or new information, are laid out in such a way that you can refer to the rules at a moment's notice any time you feel things are amiss. This book will help you to understand just what it is that your partner is trying to tell you while helping to create balance and harmony in your love relationship.

"My wife and I have been happily married for 34 years, successfully raised two sons to manhood, and survived two career changes (each). The other day, however, she had a tough day at work, wanted to talk about it, and I forgot Janice Hoffman's "Rule #2: "Listen without Interrupting." That made for a tough night. We didn't get to this point in our marriage without effort, however, so the next morning, we read Chapter #2 together, and then we talked about it. Thanks, Janice! Your helped us to see ourselves as the other sees us, and you've offered up some mighty tools for making our "veteran" relationship even better!"

Want to keep that significant other in your life? Relationship Rules gives 12 very practical tips that will help you stay sane in trying to coexist with the opposite sex. Although the basic rules to listen, appreciate and communicate with sincerity apply to any kind of friendship, Janice Hoffman gives gender specific tips in an easy to read, fun format. I highly recommend this book as a gift to help understand yourself so you can be more open, honest and loving for that special someone now or in your relationship future.
