A non confrontational way - Rated 
If you, like me, prefer the non confrontational approach to reconciliation, this book is for you; it is very sensitively written and contains many good strategies for bringing back the one you love.
However, this book probably will not help if too much time has passed, as there is not much information about what to do if the object of your desires has taken up with someone else, but if nothing else it will help you develop a more positive outlook and help you to move to the next relationship with confidence and strength.
Good for non-marriages too! - Rated 
Hi, I read this actually after my partner left and I'm desperate to hold the fine chance I have to get him back. It's helped me to know that it's not impossible to do on your own. So I'd thought I'd write a review in case anyone like me is looking for books. some isn't helpful until you're back in the relationship but some is helpful to see what you can do on your own to try and get it back!!
Lots of HELP and INSIGHT! - Rated
This book will really help you with your relationship. It shows how alone can mend so many things - but in a positive way (and not like, giving you all the responsibility, putting all the work on your shoulders...) This will totally change your viewpoint about your position in your relationship and your capability of "fixing" problems!
Lots to think about here... - Rated
I am a man, and this review is for other men. I'm going to figure that you are looking for a book on relationships because you are having problems with your own relationship. As a man, you are probably goal oriented and practical - you have a problem, you are looking for solutions, and maybe a book will help. There are lots of books out there - which to pick? Susan Page's book is valuable, and I do recommend it. There is quite a lot of useful information here, and lots to think about. Expect to spend some time with this book. She takes a highly behavioral approach - you are asked to first believe that your relationship will work, and to act loving toward your partner. If you change your beliefs and behaviors, she maintains, then you will see your relationship flourish and the feelings between you and your partner will grow. If your orientation is different - for example, if you believe that it's more important to search for and heal the underlying childhood wounds that cause you to think, feel, and behave in the ways you do - then you may not be happy with this book. My advice to you, however, is that you NOT read this book first. I'm not convinced that there is one book out there that will give you everything you need to know to "fix" things, or at least I haven't found it. I have a thick skull, and it has taken reading several things for these ideas to start to penetrate. I think you will have an easier time understanding and accepting what Susan Page is saying if you read a few other things first. Here are some other books you might wish to search for also: (1) "Communication Miracles for Couples," by Jonathan Robinson - this book is very short and accessible, and you will find some of the same ideas. After you start to understand some of this stuff, I think you will have an easier time working through Susan Page's book, which is much more detailed. (2)If you are heterosexual, I think you may find it helpful to read something about the differences between men and women. You don't have to buy into all of it, but the girls probably do think differently than us, and it will get you thinking. So consider John Gray's "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus." Along a similar vein, and an absolute bargain at only about $5, is the book "Light Her Fire" by Ellen Kreidman, which is extremely practical. Happy reading, and good luck!
One of the best books on relationships - Rated
This book is one of the best on relationships I have ever read. Its title suggests that it is for married couples, but the information in invaluable for any relationship. She shows you how to make any relationship just the way you want it!
It is not necessarily a book for fixing bad relationships (although it will help). It can make your ordinary relationships extraordinary ones.
You can read the book like a novel and it will affect your life. Stop to do the exercises and it could transform your life.
