tells you what you want to hear, not what you need
I got this book when my wife moved out and told me she didn't love me. I was devastated, depressed, and desperately wanted something to lift my spirits. In that regard, the book succeeded.... temporarily.It helped me focus on being a better person and a better partner. It will have you take a close look at yourself and your own flaws. The general message is that if you fix your own issues and become a better partner, your wife may take you back.The problem is, you can't control another person's actions. You can become the best partner ever, listening better than ever, eliciting and meeting their needs, etc., and the book will have you believe that given enough time of demonstrating what a great catch you are, your partner will see what they've been missing and come back to you.Maybe this approach works for some, but I wouldn't recommend it for those dealing with a partner's infidelity. If your wife cheated, she already decided that the relationship is over. There's no getting it back. Even if you could get it back, you know for a fact that they're capable of selfishly, secretly, and unilaterally changing the terms of your relationship to suit their personal desires. Do you really want to be married to someone capable of such casual cruelty?Do yourself a favor and instead read Leave a Cheater, Gain a Life: The Chump Lady's Survival Guide by Tracy Schorn. It will tell you the truth about your partner and your relationship, which probably isn't what you want to hear. But learning the hard truth will save you a lot of time and heartache.

Read Before It’s Needed
I’m convinced the best way to stay out of relationship trouble is to understand what and why things can go wrong before they actually do. The patience and effort is better invested staying watertight because the energy needed to stop the flooding and right the ship is is magnitudes greater and never performed in calm seas. Self-help that takes place when skies are clear fail to create the emotional energy needed to be taken seriously. After all, we are all distracted with the realities of life and if not careful, it can be the marriage that gets what’s leftover in our busy day. This is not where you want to be—give your wife and marriage the care and tending they need and you’ll avoid having to put the guidance of this book into practice. However, if that’s where you’re at, you’ll find you’re not the first husband looking for answers and support in the most stressing of times. If so, you’ll do well to read the book. Good luck and have confidence!

Short and to the point
This book was a quick read. The concepts in this book are similar to another good book, Divorce Remedy. As a man trying to save a marriage, seemingly by myself, this book doesn't make me feel as though I'm the only person in the world dealing with this issue. I'm not a religious person and I appreciate the fact that spirituality isn't a key concept in this book, as is the case in many other books on this subject.

Excellent information. I was doing it all wrong.
Read this book as soon you are faced with the possibility of divorce. It could turn things around and shorten the process of repair.

Provided some very helpful insights
I am not sure this book will get your wife back. It has not for me so far but it did provide some great food for thought that helped move me past a dark place in my own mess. Marshall captures many of the questions going through my head and addresses them in a clear and helpful way. Like any book on this topic it cannot promise anything but if you are a man dealing with a wife that has "fallen out of love" it is worth the time to read.
