The Rules of Love Kindle Edition

For the broken hearted ... the love lost ... the eternal optimist ... and the romantic ... and the person who believes love rules. Some good advice and new perspectives. A classic.

I bought this book for a friend who had problems keeping relationships going and also bought one for myself, (You never know when you will need it). The advice offerred is excellent, and makes you aware that if you follow the rules it should be a failsafe way to maintain the relationship. It tactfully mentions all the difficulties you may encounter along the way, right down to the smaller things that annoy you about your partner, and explains how to deal with it. It also gives advice on how to keep friends and maintain relationships within your own family. I think every teenager should be given this book, it will prepare them for life.

Very uaufull book

Great book! Really interesting if you’re look to find yourself and the one for you. Teaches you a lot about self love and loving others around you.

Heartfelt, great advice, good presies for girlfriends, great for getting into the right relationships and for existing relationships. Easy to pick up and dip in and out of

Good advice 😀

great book

Very happy with book

Great book. Great theme. Great author. Great categories. Great writing style. Good humour. I felt proud that I already encompass the Rules and then some yet found that it was also VERY refreshing to read that someone else encompasses the same too. Read one rule a day if you like. I sent copies to both of my young adult boys and told a few friends that are in dire need. LolGet it!!! Share it!

This is one of the best text books on life ever, if you can follow instructions. Whoever you idolize as a great adviser be it Dr. Phil, Oprah, or ... Chuck Norris, this is what they'd tell you about relationships, if they knew how to say it exactly this way. From Lover's, Exs, kids, friends, family, and your neighbor you never liked, this covers ALL relationships in life. I keep having to buy myself a new copy because I end up giving them away hoping the recipient in crisis reads the thing, and follows the rules, to make their lives better. It's that good in my opinion!

excellent book Easy to read format. simple common sense that we are reminded of in an easy format

At the heart of this book is the author's desire for his readers to experience life to the fullest. Richard Templar has created a thoughtful book which is born of his hard-earned wisdom. This reads like an instruction manual for successful relationships.From the start this book makes perfect sense. Richard Templar explains how we should be genuine, go the extra mile and look at situations from a variety of perspectives. While this book has a casual tone the advice is professional.A lot of the information presented is about how you can change yourself into a better person. Changing other people is not advised and rarely works. Like there is a chapter on how not to nag and there are warnings about what types of relationships you should avoid from the start. It is true that opposites usually attract and this book deals a bit with this topic.The rules in this book deal with your relationship to your partner, family and friends. Most of it is good. I liked the discussions about the division of labor, romance, kids and finances. There are even some funny things that will get a laugh out of you.I did think the advice about leaving a relationship if you are not always happy may not be good advice especially if you are married. Marriage is a journey with rough spots and bliss all mixed together. So you may be happy one day, miserable the next and elated again sometime in the future. If you don't stick it out you may never know the bliss of being in a long-term relationship.Also the author states that you should give yourself a year before making any long-term commitments. He basically gives the reader permission to move in with someone after a year. What this author is not telling you is that if you live together before getting married you are more likely to get a divorce. So think twice is all I advise.Overall the advice is great and I look forward to reading another book by this author.~The Rebecca Review

A very practical guide to finding, pleasing and effectually keeping the partner we all search so maddeningly to be with.There are 100 rules the author lays out. He's experienced enough to understand that some are so simple that anyone with one iota of common sense can and does adhere without thinking about it, but then there are those little tricks that require time, patience and ultimately experience, sometimes in the form of suffering for us to understand and use the rules pragmatically. These rules are based on the authors observations of happily committed couples and run the gauntlet from first love to how to keep the relationship from stagnating and what to do in the event that the whole thing crumbles and becomes unsalvageable.As stated, very practical but occasionally difficult to put into practice. It is simply stated: the means to practice utmost patience to love your partner as an individual while fulfilling the role of a great partner and maintaining the 'moral high-ground'.Not necessarily informative (unless you're a teen, I suppose) but it has the potential to be incredibly useful and good for some reference / a reminder if you find yourself skidding into a jam.

This is the 6th copy of this book I’ve owned. I keep giving my copy away because I recommend it so often! Was helpful after a 15 year failed marriage.

This book was exceptional! It goes into detail and makes the information easy to comprehend! It outlines not only love within intimate relationships but also key aspects in improving your relations with family, friends, acquaintances and the likes. Very good book and eager to read his other books!

The Rules of Love provides quality, experience based insight and instruction for all parts of the relationship process. Dating? Newly married? Struggling in marriage? The pearls which Richard Templar shares in this book apply to everyone. Regardless of what stage you are at in your relationship, reading this book will provide great ideas and stimulate personal creativity. I would suggest this book to anyone!One aspect that can be difficult for readers is that this book is founded upon anecdotal evidence. In writing it, Templar stated, "It's about what works." This is what has worked for the author, and for those many people which he has observed. You won't find many statistics or outside sources used in The Rules of Love. Having said that, I still feel that the advice given is true and valuable for all. Everything is logical, but also seems to simply ring true. In the book you'll find 100 specific and well elaborated principles for success. Templar has provided a well made toolbox of hints and it is up to each of us which ones we will implement into our relationships, yielding the much desired fruits of love. If you are even considering it, I would suggest that this one is too good to miss!

I see why this is a international best seller. It gives a different point of view and suggest to help with all ttpes of relationships. The information in interchangeable.
