Summary: Dr Pepper hits the relationship nail on the head.
Comment: Not only is she a relationship expert but she knows how to write a captivating book and give you unique insight into your relationship, your partner and yourself.
Having had the opportunity to meet her in person, I was thrilled to read her books ...
Rating: 1
Summary: Definitely for the over-60 set
Comment: The author is glib and self-satisfied in telling the over-60 set that their old-fashioned mores about sex are... well, old-fashioned. If you have not been living in a cave for the last 20 years, all of the "pragmatism" in this book will sound like advice from the Mom in an after-school special. While I was not very chaste before marriage, I agree with the domestic abuse therapist on many points, especially where he intimates that it is this kind of book that allows unfaithful/abusive partners to justify their behavior. Most importantly, what Schwartz could learn from younger women who probably know a lot more about sex than she does, is that her advice confuses sex for a single person with sex for a committed person. She wants all her repressed married couples to adopt mores of the sexually open-minded 90's. Bad Advice. Nothing wrong with a little experimentation if you're single. When you are committed, it's a whole different situation and I don't think the same rules apply.

Summary: Excellent Examination of Traditional Beliefs
Comment: It seems that from the time we are very young we start to develop ideas of what love, marriage and relationships should be like. Generally, it is not that we actually see those relationships but through the influence of media, family and friends we are taught that the ideal relationship contains certain particular traits and anything less is not good enough.
Schwartz looks at twenty-five myths about relationships and how they keep you from achieving a happy and contented relationship. Some of the myths she challenges are holy grails of what relationships "should" be. For example, that your lover or mate should also be your best friend.
I don't agree with everything she says but she has compelling arguments for her positions and encourages us to challenge our preconceptions to see if they fit for us.
Not a deep book filled with psychological studies and analysis by any means, it is filled with practical advice and new ways to look at relationships. A recommended read for anyone with a history of relationship problems, entering into a new relationship or just questioning the values that they grew up with.
