How to Stay in Love

I got the audiobook and Sexton's delivery is as good as they come. Funny, useful, insightful, actionable, and entertaining. Highly recommended whatever your current relationship situation is.

I wish I read this before marriage and during my divorce, but it is not too late to read it post-divorce and possibly pre-marriage for the future with my new found soulmate. I’m so much happier now, divorced from my ex husband whom I met at 20 and divorced at 40. I thanked him for setting us both free and I’m so blessed to have met an amazing man who provides me emotional support and physical touch with genuine love, respect, affection, and words of affirmation. I read this book to learn how I can keep my current relationship alive and healthy. So far, so good. Sometimes, reading or watching videos provides validation that I’m on the right track. This is one of those books and more. Entertaining and James Sexton is so smart and witty. I enjoy watching his interviews on YouTube too. That’s how I found out about his book.

Any memoir about any branch of law interests me so I bought this one too. I got the impression that this author was competent and I appreciated that he was forthright about the fact that he himself is a divorce lawyer who himself has gone through a divorce. He includes very interesting stories. The title ,"It's already too late" is a point where I would differ. Ive known multiple people in three different churches who visited the offices of divorce attorneys and their marriages did not end and were not unhappy. The other point where I held a differing point of view than the author was in the use of profanity. It IS reasonable to include a verbatim quote of someone using profanity at times, for authenticity, or to add emphasis. It IS reasonable to include profanity when it is authentic to the speakers daily vocabulary. In this book however,it fell flat for me. Profanity was used with too great of a frequency, almost constantly, and I ended up with the impression of swaggering little high school boys with braggadocio. Attorneys Ive known seldom spoke in this manner, to quite this extent. The "f-bomb" and the other word for excrement were very frequently used. I no longer had the impression that the author was a mature professional adult. It simply ,regrettably,lowered my respect for the author and I almost didnt finish the book. The profanity was excessive, immature, inauthentic and misplaced, it seemed to me. A regrettable blemish on an otherwise good book.

Listened to an interview with the author, this should be a great read.

No fluffy psychology theories here! Just nuts & bolts of how relationships go awry - or not - taken from real life.

This is a great book on marriage and the pros and cons of it. Before getting married or considering it read this book. I plan to not get married as it’s never been for me but I can appreciate the info. It really is hard work to get into a relationship and maintain that desire to please one another long term wise.

Love the book. Love the words - love the humor and stories!!!!Must buy!

While I certainly don’t mean to sound grandiose, I’m struggling to put into words how meaningful and helpful this book has been for me. I went through a divorce a year ago after many years of a bad marriage. I’ve spent the past year trying to sort through all of the good, bad, and ugly of my marriage so I can work hard to be a better person moving forward. I heard of this book after watching a one-hour interview with James on YouTube. Put bluntly, this books is one of the very relationship resources I have ever come across. James mentioned in his interview that when we get married, we often spend about as much time reading over and considering the requirements and potential consequences of marriage to about the same degree as we read the terms and conditions after downloading a new app on our phone. This book is chock full of insights and examples which absolutely can, and often will, happen to you if you choose to marry the wrong person. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, especially for people considering marriage. For those people, you are about to make literally the biggest decision of your life and you would be wise to heed the wisdom of someone who has dealt with those who have failed for many years. Highly, highly, highly recommended.

A book has a lot of good ideas, some of which I slightly disagree with, but a great read overall.

I've read a lot of relationship books, mostly those written by psychologists. These books usually talk about the psychological insights on different dating/relationship/marriage aspects, advise effective approaches on "what to do", and highlight good behaviours. But didn't really delve deeper on the negative behaviours and the repercussions in the past.Meanwhile, this book is written from totally different perspective, ie of a divorce lawyer, peppered with stories from a myriad of angles, including but not limited to sex, finance, free time, etc. It gives good practical advices on "what-not-do" and in a way looks for troublesome behaviours that your future/current partners and you might have.I have read about 1/3 of the book. So far so good. I need to put down the book so many times and take a deep breath. Mainly because the book reminded me of stupid behaviours of an ex-partner and sometimes, mine too. Pretty thought-provoking. Will definitely follow the book's advices for my next relationship.Regardless whether you are single or taken, I strongly suggest you to just buy this book.It's totally worth every penny and the long delivery time needed. Might save you financially and emotionally big time by avoiding a divorce.

Good book to read. Gives you an idea about divorce cases.

Cheaper for what have in inside.

Shipping was great, got the “slightly used one” and it is great has minor scratches. Would recommend buying from here. Shipped to Croatia with no problem at all.
