 Getting to "I Do" July 4, 2008
This book was recommended to me by an acquaintance. I really wish this acquaintance luck in relationships because she absolutely loved this book. I can't place my finger on specifics, but while reading the book, I got a bad, sinking feeling. I understand the whole female & male energies, yes, but I feel that what the author tells "feminine" women to do is inauthentic. A lot of the examples and stories rang false and I was taken aback. I thought, "Really? that's what she considers narcisistic or female or male? Wow." Nothing jived with common sense. I wouldn't recommend this book to anybody.
 Changed my life! July 2, 2008
I was given this book as a present after a break up along with several other self help relationship books. They all said the same stuff. However, this one was different. VERY DIFFERENT. It actually infuriated me. I felt it was backwards, silly, and frustrating to the point that I shared my feelings with my therapist. Her reaction was if it got me going, I probably needed to read it again because it had struck a chord. I did, and it did. I googled Pat Allen and went to see her speak. I was amazed. She is brilliant, get's it, and can make us laugh at the things that seem like common sense when it's happening to other people. I'm so thankful for this gift, her gifts, and the lightbulb moment this book gave me!
So true February 15, 2008
For some it is hard to submit to the fact that male's and female's really are different! But this book puts you in your place. If you want to make sure your marriage will last once those vows are said than read this book! If you keep wondering "why me" why cant I ever just have a functional relationship, read this book! This book kind of teaches you that there is a difference between "old fashioned" and "Narcistic" It will help you out for sure! It helped me, and I am now married and happier than I've ever been!
The relationship Commandments December 21, 2007
I have read this book three times and given copies to several friends. The precepts are biblical - even though it is a secular message. It has changed the way I do relationship and made all the difference!
Not what one would expect.... December 7, 2007
Dr. Allen hooks the reader from page one with this clever and easily-employable masterpiece on relationships. She seems to have a keen sense to "get to the heart" of matters, picking them apart piece-by-piece, and then offering practical guidance for each area. Like most professional women today, I've found it difficult to find "Mr. Right" and have admittedly settled for "Mr. Right Now" on an occasion or two, so, this book was a godsend. I say this because there are certain aspects of communication that I needed to improve on however, was unaware which areas had been my downfall in the past. Similarly, identifying my stronger "energy" as Dr. Allen describes it, has been significant in assisting me to understand what my role should be in a relationship and how to defuse conflicting situations. I am in the early stages of exercising some of her suggestions, but, I can tell you that this book has already helped me tremendously with communicating with my boyfriend of more than a year. I'd recommend it to anyone and I also recommend Bob Grant's book "Women Men Adore" if you are seriously considering delving into the secret behind attracting a "keeper".
I must also mention that I was expecting some chauvinistic garbage that would require me to become completely subservient to my male counterparts and demand that I reject my strong affinity for independence. Equally, with Dr. Allen's book, I expected the reverse; a feminist call to assert and be heard. However, this is not what I learned at all. What I did learn was that, through understanding the person that I am (there is even a short quiz to assist with this in Dr. Allen's book) I was able to utilize better techniques for communication as well as, determine if I am currently in the right relationship for my "energy". After reading at length, I learned that my last failed relationship was due to us having too similar of energies; it made perfect sense. I even found it more helpful and interesting that John Gray's "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus". This book is a "must read" for any single woman nearing or over 30 searching for the right partner.
