‘A marital therapist of 20 years’ standing, Andrew G Marshall believes the reason couples visit him has changed dramatically. ‘In the past couples split because they hated each other,’ he writes. ‘Today, it is just as likely because they don’t love each other enough.’ His book addresses this problem with sensitivity, depth and intelligence, with advice on how to recreate intimacy, while retaining a sense of self. Marshall firmly believes that ‘falling out of love does not mean the end of the relationship’. His insightful advice makes it hard to disagree.’ **** Review in Psychologies.
‘The practical suggestions that Andrew covers will actually give people a really useful model.’ Valerie Sinason Psychotherapist on Radio 4 Woman’s Hour.
‘This book was really helpful and I have recommended it to a few people who could not put it down. The reason why I think its so accessible is that he has broken it down into succinct chapters and it is so clearly written. The summary at the end of each chapter is great. He identifies with peoples emotions without exaggerating or patronising the reader. Importantly, he is someone with so much experience and this is clearly reflected in the book. You can trust his advice and that is important because you would only read such a book if you yourself were going through relationship difficulties. This book has really helped me. I read it in a day. Its made me understand the phrase ‘I love you but I am not in love with you.’ You realise that what you are feeling and going through is normal. It has given me hope and that is very important when you are feeling low.’ Letter to publisher.
‘I was immensely impressed by this book by Andrew G Marshall. He is a therapist and clearly has deep insight into real relationships where intimacy has been lost. This common situation, with which many couples and individuals will be able to identify, is explored and discussed with great intuition. However, he goes beyond simply understanding it and produces ways to improve or extract oneself from these emotional doldrums.’ Dr Gail Louv.
‘I can see our problem clearly and just wanted to thankyou for writing the book. Kind regards.’ Claire, reader
