Lies at the Altar (Abridged): The Truth About Great Marriages Audiobook

" Great book...every woman (and man) should read it......very useful "

" This should be a must read for all couples. "

" I don't drink the Oprah kool-aid, but I found this book to be very practical and useful. It had unique ideas and concepts that I hadn't thought about before. I also like the phrase "show up as a grown up." "

" I really am enjoying this book. Brings a lot of insite into all types of relationships and just as the title implies, there are a lot of lies told at the altar. I feel confident as a newly wed, but have found good advice and things to think about. "

" I thought the start of the book was just giving people excuses to get a divorce. I was listening to this book and I kept thinking as depressed Robin Smith sounded. I think she needs to stop being negative and eats some carbs. Overall, the author states the obvious at times and is over dramatic... read the book if you need an excuse out of a relationship.... "

" This author "tells it like it is." I liked her examples and ideas. The questions are helpful for those who are considering marriage or those who are married and wish to discuss them. "

" one of the book that people in relationship have to read so they can enter their relationship with an open eye n mind "

" I love Dr. Robin, so sensible! "

" There's a very good list of questions in here worth asking your significant other before you get engaged. Otherwise, the author seems to have been motivated by a bitter experience to write this and is perhaps too religion-based for the average joe (or jane). "

" I'm definitely not a self-help book reader. This book was given to me by a friend when I got engaged in 2005. I didn't read it until now (2009). I was nodding the whole time I read it. It has some good, common sense relationship advice. "

" good for anyone, in any stage of their love (single, married, engaged) who is interested in having an authentic relationship. "

" Awesome book for those married / hoping to get married and have a solid relationship. Author has many exercises for couples and questions, not intuitively though about when discussing getting married/relationships. "

" Great book to those thinking about getting married or already married. Talks a lot about being completely honest about who you are to your significant other. "

" i liked the anecdotes the author gave from her practice. had some good insights, but a lot of it was common sense. didn't try the marriage exercises she gave. "

" Nothing spectacular, but a good view on marriage. "

" i got this book before we got married to "not think its honeymoon forever" it was helpful and then i realized DAMN we dont need this book we've been through ALOT being together for 8 YEARS before we got engaged haha "

" Going to finish this book and have some deep thoughts w/Jack Handy about my impending nuptuals. "

" This had some good information about sustaining a positive relationship with a spouse, but it was a tad bit extreme sometimes. All in all decent advice. "

" I finished about 2/3 of it. They should have had someone besides the author narrate the audio version. She seemed like she was reading someone else's book instead of her own. That took away from the essence of the book, but it was otherwise okay. Good relationship pointers. "

" awesome book...for anyone- in a relationship or not, married or not. I was hooked- I don't normally read a lot, or finish a book fast, but this one I read in a couple of days. "

" Perfect book to read prior to marriage. Allows you to explore many topics prior to marriage! "

" This is a book that I will revisit again and again. A great look at the psychology of marriages and unmet expectations. "

" Many truths about getting married, marriage, and self. "

" The only two books I read about marriage before getting married were this one - recommended by my friend's friend - and Shalom in the Home by Shmuley Boteach. I think they were just enough. Smith is very direct and I appreciated that. I will buy it as an engagement gift someday I'm sure. "
