Dr. Warren lays it all out. The 29 Dimensions of Compatibility are eye opening. So many times we go into relationships for all the wrong reasons. This book will help you ask the questions you need to ask and observe what you need to observe in a new or existing relationship. I took it on vacation with my new boyfriend and we went through it together. I am happy to say that we are still together! This book is well written and easy to follow. Read it for you! It will change the way you look at yourself and your relationships. | | Falling in Love for All the Right Reasons: How to Find Your Soul Mate by Center Street Great book to use as a discussion guide! | | Once one move's beyond the introductory chapters, Warren's book is a terrific book to better understand the many aspects of compatibility! It is also an excellent springboard for discussion with a serious partner for prospects of a future, long-term and more intimate relationship! Hence, I highly recommend this book to both partners seeking to confirm or to affirm their prospects for a relationship beyond a friendship. | | Falling in Love for All the Right Reasons: How to Find Your Soul Mate by Center Street It's an overly obvious plug that ruined the book | | Dr Warren has great ideas however every chance the author gets, Eharmony is mentioned. Having been on that site before it made me cringe each time it's mentioned in the book, Im actually suprised that the author didn't say drink Coke, eat M&M's, and Dorritos, while listening to your Apple iPod. As soon as I felt I was connecting with something said the plug for Eharmony was right there to distract me. The website pulls enough revenue, can't you just write a book and not mention the website? My girlfriend tried to read the book and started laughing, when I asked what was so funny, she said the book should of had pop-ups with Eharmony discount coupons in it. We decided to read another book and have been happy for years as a couple. | | Falling in Love for All the Right Reasons: How to Find Your Soul Mate by Center Street Helpful and solid | Although I normally avoid this kind of book, I found this one to be very helpful...so much so, that I've ordered copies for two people who wanted to borrow my copy (because I didn't want mine to disappear).
Although some reviewers of this book have complained that it "seemed like an ad for eharmony" I felt that the discussion of the research that went into the development of the 29 dimensions provided the evidence I needed and gave the balance of the book credibility. If you are a cut-to-the-chase person, skip the first 50 pages, but if you have a skeptical and analytical bent, you will find the initial discussion helpful in weighing what they have to say about each dimension as they go through the remainder of the book. They don't really pull punches and their breakdown of the dimensions into categories was very helpful. It really helps to clarify what's being "too picky" and what's holding out for the right relationship.
Incidentally, there is stuff in here that no one I know ever thought was important to be matched on, but that I watch friends struggle over in their relationships and didn't understand why.
| | Falling in Love for All the Right Reasons: How to Find Your Soul Mate by Center Street Product Description | | Dr. Neil Clark Warren is the mastermind behind eHarmony.com—an Internet matchmaking service that encourages readers to find "true love" rather than a slew of Saturday night dates. His basic shtick is that "broad-based compatibility" is the glue for making a partnership loving and lasting. Falling in Love offers 29 "dimensions of compatibility" to consider before committing to a romantic relationship. His formula is so, well, formulaic, it threatens to take all the mysticism and romance out of finding a soul mate. That's fine with Warren, who believes that readers who screen partners for compatibility will fare much better than spirit-struck lovers who base commitments on profound immediate attraction.-á Warren begins with weeding out bad characters. "If one of the partners in a relationship lies, cheats, or steals, that bad character will eventually undermine the relationship." Even if you're not the victim of these behaviors, you will be, claims Warren. So run, don't walk from the relationship. Seems like obvious common sense. Yet advice columnist are constantly answering letters from unhappily married men and women, complaining about these very forms of broken trust.-á Warren also encourages readers to stop ignoring the early "red flags" of addictive personalities and psychological issues, such as chronic depression. Demand that the partner commit to professional help before you go any further with the relationship, he advises. Other compatibility issues include anger management, sexual passion, and family planning. While his advice is solid, it is conservative. For instance, he does not address homosexual love or allow homosexual partnering on his web site. Also, most of the discussion is geared toward traditional marriage as the final goal. --Gail Hudson | | Falling in Love for All the Right Reasons: How to Find Your Soul Mate by Center Street Amazon.com | | Dr. Neil Clark Warren is the mastermind behind eHarmony.com—an Internet matchmaking service that encourages readers to find "true love" rather than a slew of Saturday night dates.
