Hard-hitting divorce lawyer James J. Sexton shares his insights and wisdom to help you reverse-engineer a healthy, fulfilling romantic relationship with How to Stay in Love.With two decades on the front lines of divorce Sexton has seen what makes formerly happy couples fall out of love and “lose the plot” of the story they were writing together. Now he reveals all of the “what-not-to-dos” for couples who want to build―and consistently work to preserve―a lasting, loving relationship. Sexton tells the unvarnished truth about love and marriage, diving straight into the most common issues that often arise from simple communication problems and relationships that develop by “default” instead of design. Though he deals constantly with the heartbreak of others, he still believes in romance and the transformative power of love. This book is his opportunity to use what he has learned from the mistakes of his clients to help individuals and couples find and preserve lasting connection.Previously published as If You're In My Office, It's Already Too Late. Review: Required reading for ANYONE looking to be in a romantic relationship. - I'm buying copies of this for my two adult kids. One is in a relationship, and one is not, but regardless, this is valuable and priceless life coaching. I found this book after seeing Mr. Sexton on two podcasts (Diary of a CEO). Highly recommended. Review: Informative and entertaining - I love this book! Obviously the content already caught my attention, which is the reason i bought it in the first place, BUT... In my opinion, which makes this book be great instead of good, is the author's way of writing! It doesn't feel like reading one of the many life-coach books, but when you read it, you feel more like reading a letter from a (very talkative) friend - it's more like listening to somebody than actually reading! Although, you should be open to unapologetic truths about the human character, as well as to sarkasm and irony, because those are pillars of this work. I totally recommend this "how not to"-guide, as the author calls it right at the beginning!

Required reading for ANYONE looking to be in a romantic relationship.
I'm buying copies of this for my two adult kids. One is in a relationship, and one is not, but regardless, this is valuable and priceless life coaching. I found this book after seeing Mr. Sexton on two podcasts (Diary of a CEO). Highly recommended.

A very practical "how-not-to" relationship book
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.

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