Definitely recommend this book for people who struggle in relationships. I used to never understand why I couldn’t get into a good real relationship until I read this book. I now understand the importance of boundaries and it is so good to now have a boyfriend where we have boundaries and are actually working because of how much maturing I’ve done. This book was only a help in my spiritual journey. It took a lot more than just this book, but I of course still recommend this book to people in healthy and struggling relationships and singles.

An amazing companion to the book-highly recommend getting this to work through as you read the book. My only critique is that in some parts it is repetitive but overall extremely helpful in bringing about self reflection and growth.

Makes you think - was very good for my boyfriend and I to work through together and seperately. Asks question you wouldn't otherwise think on.

I really enjoyed this book. It put a new perspective on what it means to date and what it means to have a companion. It brings it back to the friendship as a fundamental foundation - not as a method of cruel self-denial or asceticism or frigidity but as a method of exercising some control over emotions and one's own investment. It allows sex to be uncomplicated.

Yet, boundaries here are not just physical. There are emotional boundaries and limits on behaviors. It is a guide not just for dating but for friendships and compromise.

With this book, ex boyfriends don't have to be ex boyfriends. They can just be friends. It can happen.

A great read and very motivating for anyone who may have a hard time saying no or just loves "too much". This book set some great examples for not only my dating life, but work, family and friends as well!
