Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of Getting the Love You Want and Keeping the Love You Find comes illuminating and inspiring advice on one of the most complicated issues facing couples today: receiving love.

Many people know how to give love, but many more undermine their relationships by never having learned how to accept it. We don't always realize the ways in which we reject appreciation, affection, help, and guidance from our romantic partners. According to Hendrix and Hunt, until we are able to understand the meaning behind our behavior, our relationships stand to suffer.

Receiving Love prompts questions such as:

-Are you reluctant to tell your partner what you really want or need?
-When you do get what you've asked for, do you still feel dissatisfied?
-Is it difficult for you to accept kind gestures, gifts, or compliments from your partner?

With Receiving Love, you can learn how to break the shackles of self-rejection and embrace real intimacy. Drawing on their renowned expertise, the wide clinical experience of Imago therapists, and their own personal experience as a married couple, the authors offer detailed, sensitive advice on how to turn a relationship between two well-meaning yet misunderstood individuals into a true, everlasting partnership.

I was kind of disappointed in this book. I felt like it was more of an advertisement for the Imago Relationship Therapy techniques that the authors teach than it was on how to open yourself up to receiving love. The bulk of the book was about three married couples who had to transform their “separat......more

My Imago has been trying to dialogue with my family through mirroring, validating and empathizing but my Child is preparing for a tantrum and my Parent is about to let loose. All this hurting and projecting needs a lot of healing. Where did my adult go?......more

Goodreads review by Kimberly on July 31, 2008

A trite rehash of his previous bestseller, Hendrix seems to be grasping at thin air for enough substance to fill an entire book. The subject is one that warrants further research and one that we definitely need more literature on -but this is not the book to provide it.......more

Goodreads review by Erica on May 09, 2020

A really great book on getting to know yourself better in order to enhance your relationships. The exercises at the end were also practical and informative. In the afterward, the authors imagined what the world would be like if all of our relationships were stronger; how there would not only be a lo......more

Goodreads review by Marianne on July 07, 2022

3.5 stars? A lot of interesting and challenging material, much of which I had already absorbed through other means. Sometimes rigid and very very focused on one particular relationship model. Worth the read though for sure.......more
