Turn Your Mate into Your Soulmate: A Practical Guide to Happily Ever After

I just celebrated my 15th wedding anniversary. This is the book I needed 14 years ago when the "magic" had worn off and I was questioning whether I made the right choice in getting married. I have known all along that my husband is my soulmate - I knew it the first time I laid eyes on him. But no one prepares you for the "end of the fairy tale". We somehow made it through all the rough years (of which there were many), but it would have been so much easier if I had had this book to guide me, to tell me that what I was experiencing was absolutely normal. I am about 1/4 into the book and have had so many "ah-ha" moments and find myself nodding in agreement to just about everything I'm reading. I'll update later when I've finished the book, but as of now, this book is blowing my mind with the incredible insights.

'Turn Your Mate Into Your Soul Mate' is simply put, must reading for any couple who wants to experience more communication, love, passion, understanding and connection with your partner. I'd also highly recommend it for singles as well, since it prepares you for the path of intimacy once you find 'the one.' Underneath the book, the astute reader will immediately sense that Arielle Ford has done an incredible amount of research. And that's putting it mildly. However, what separates this book from so many psychologically-minded books written by therapists and researchers is how humanly accessible this book is. Arielle's great gift is to get at the juicy, relevant and practical dimensions of so many great practitioners and researchers in a way that touches the heart and gives the reader a deeply practical set of skills that will indeed, turn their mate into their soul mate. In a word, this book is your one-stop shopping place for taking today's best relationship advice so you can bring it all home. From the research of John Gottman to the pioneering work of John Gray, Arielle gives you the best of a veritable world of relationship coaching all between two covers. You could read 25-30 books or you could read this one book and get it all. What's even better, is it's all written in a heart-felt, deeply inspiring and pragmatic way that truly gives the reader what they are looking for - not only hope that it can be better but an actual skill set to make it so. Let's face it, all relationships have challenges and rough spots. Ms. Ford's real genius is to show you how all relationship issues are really just one big set of soul lessons cleverly disguised as 'trouble in heaven.' Arielle will show you what those lessons are, saving you years and years of searching or frustration! Truly, this book is the perfect antidote for making yourself wrong, your partner wrong, or perhaps even making "love" itself wrong. When you finish the book, you will leave not only knowing how to 'do' it right, but more importantly, feeling 'right' about yourself and your partner. It's a great resource for any couple's library, but most importantly, it's the right medicine for what ails the modern couple most of the time. And did I say that some of her stories are so, so, so inspirational and heart touching? It's a great book and I recommend it to everyone who wants more out of their relationship. - Gary D. Salyer, Ph.D

In several places it seemed like this book was intended for women. Ignore that. I found that I benefited tremendously from reading it. There were many days, when after finishing a chapter, I went and embraced my wife. I didn't just tell her how wonderful she is, I felt it deeply.

This is a great follow up book to The Soulmate Secret and full of practical advice and exercises to help continue and grow a loving relationship. Arielle helpfully explores a variety of learnings and methods out there about cultivating and sustaining a loving relationship.

Excellent book on how to have a happy relationship. Not the same old stuff, but a manual to help understand the dynamics of being with another. I highly recommend it!

Turn Your Mate into Your Soulmate is a MUST read for everyone, at any point in your relationship!I love all the practical and powerful tips in this book about how to keep love alive after the initial honeymoon phase has ended.The power-packed techniques in this book are so easy to implement yet have a great impact on the connection, love and harmony we can create in all of our relationships.Arielle is an expert on love and she did it again, with this amazing book.

great engaging book with tons of practical applicationdefinitely put to use in real life

I just got engaged 2 weeks ago and couldn't have asked for a better gift at this time in my life! I bought this book this morning and have already finished it. As my fiancee and I embark on this next phase in life together, I feel well equipped with tools to navigate this new chapter in our life. In today's world, so many of us expect a fairytale romance 100% of the time. And when things don't quite turn out to be all roses and peaches all the time, we don't know what "went wrong" but this book shows us the beauty of relationships, marriages, and the commitment involved. Some people say relationships are hard work, but Arielle shows us it doesn't have to be hard. Simple, yet profound shifts in our own ways of thinking and acting can truly transform any relationship if we are willing to give it our best! Highly recommended for anyone who is in a relationship, married or looking for a relationship. These are lessons that will not only transform your relationship with your partner, but it will transform you.

I've read a couple of Arielle's other books which have definitely been very good. I have to admit, I found this one quite boring in parts as much of it was stating the blatant obvious. It is no great revelation that men need to feel listened to, heard and appreciated. That's surely not just unique to men - that's a natural human need. However, I did like the fact that Arielle wrote about the reality of a loving relationship not all being 'hearts, flowers and sequins' which I believe is a very valid point to make. There is some good content but I found a fair bit of it slightly on the patronising side I'm sorry to say.

Arielle is an amazing writer and ties threads together as elegantly as she always does in this latest book. It was a worthwhile and wonderful read - thank you Arielle for showing so many people the path to love

This book is written for women which is a shame really because it contains useful info for both men and women. It's good and has some good insights and ideas = worth reading for all couples I would say - I have given it to me girlfriend in the hope that she picks up on a few things!

fab book

An absolute treasure!!!
