Couples Companion: Meditations & Exercises for Getting the Love You Want: A Workbook for Couples

FANTASTIC couples book that explores relationship struggles and the undeniable truths that go along with growing old together. It's designed to be a daily reading book with actual work to do for you and your partner. It's been really helpful for my hubby and I. Some of the language is a bit dated, but easily adaptable. Have a therapist or Dr. Google ready for questions, some of the topics will need a little explanation (we had no idea what the Imago Process entailed). Great, helpful book that is capable of opening communication and build listening skills in relationships!

I purchased this book, as well as the "Getting the Love You Want" book. We were both middle aged adults- I am divorced with an adult child and he was never married and no kids. Although we went through all of the exercises, and even went to a workshop, the relationship still ended- just several years and about a thousand dollars later. We did have a better understanding of where the other was coming from and our previous experiences. This program may be good if you have a good foundation and just need to rediscover their bond, but it does not work if there are fundamental differences. Only you can decide if something like this might work for your relationship. Just keep in mind it is not the cure all it purports to be.

This book is helpful for couples no matter what stage in their relationship. I feel like it is hard for couples to slow down. This book gives couples a way to do that intentionally.

Provides opportunities for reflection and conversation where ever you find yourselves on the marital path.

Well written. I read Harville's work first (Getting the Love You Want). Understood the concepts yet struggled with implementation.Helen's work (based on Harville's concepts) turns it into small doable steps. They may not seem like much, until you do them. And there may be some resistance to actually doing them! Do it anyway. Significantly improved my marriage.

This book is an easy read, just enough to get something out of it but not too much where it would make it tedious to do daily. Perfect to keeping a relationship on track. Very insightful :)

Must have book for couples who are committed to keeping their relationship as good as possible. Very easy to follow and fun to do.

This is an excellent couples therapy book. I would recommend this book to couples who are in trouble and to therapists that helps couples in trouble.

This is a wonderful book for couples working on creating a closer relationship. Reflecting on the ideas presented and then dedicating time to meditation on the same is a great tool for maintaining one's focus on the importance of the couple's relationship. The information supports that of the book "Getting the Love you Want" with the goal of healing or deepening your primary relationship, leading to more satisfaction in your life overall.

Harville Hendrix with his books saved my sanity. His books will guide anyone in the midst of emotional trauma towards understanding and compassion

Excellent! Practical daily steps for improving your relationship.
