I thought I knew almost everything about my husband until...

If asked, I would've said I knew pretty much everything about my husband from his past experiences to his future hopes and dreams but "365 Questions for Couples" has proved that wrong! This book of 365 questions has facilitated new discoveries and lots of great conversations. I highly recommend it if you're trying to get to know someone better or if you thought you knew it all!

An insightful, practical, and entertaining book

I am often skeptical of "self-help" books, but 365 Questions for Couples is both a practical and insightful tool. I wish it had been available ten years ago when my husband and I were dating, although it is still useful to our relationship now, and to myself--as a vehicle for self-understanding. The tone is serious, but fun; probing, but not over-the-top. The authors' extensive experience with couples therapy is readily apparent in this sometimes surprising, always intriguing, collection of questions.

IT'S LIKE A FIRST BITE OF YOUR FAVORITE FOOD...

THIS LITTLE BOOK [BORDA'S KEEPS IT IN THEIR SMALL BOOK SECTION] IS A TREAT TO READ. THE AUTHORS DEAL WITH SERIOUS, EMOTION-LADEN SUBJECTS IN A WAY THAT MAKES IT PLEASANT TO READ.THIS PAPERBACK PROVOKES THOUGHT IN A WAY THAT TAKES DOWN WALLS IN THOSE WHO RESIST LOOKING INWARDLY. I HAVE A FRIEND [A WISE OLD LAWYER] WHO ONCE TOLD ME THAT HAVING THE RIGHT QUESTION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HAVING THE RIGHT ANSWER. THIS BOOK DEMONSTRATES THAT AS IT GENTLY THROWS OUT THESE REMARKABLE QUESTIONS. THE TV PERSONALITY, BARBARA WALTERS, IS THE MOST HIGHLY SKILLED [AND HIGHLY PAID] INTERVIEWER IN THE WORLD. OBSERVE HER AND YOU WILL REALIZE THAT SHE ENABLES HER GUESTS TO OPEN-UP BY ASKING ONLY A FEW [BUT VERY GOOD] QUESTIONS. THE HALLMARK OF A GOOD INTERVIEWER, THERAPIST,LAWYER OR BOOK IS BEING ABLE TO ASK THE PROPER QUESTIONS. "365 QUESTIONS FOR COUPLES" ASKS THOSE GREAT QUESTIONS AND IT DOES SO IN A WAY THAT IS PLEASANT AND NOT ARDUOUS, UNLIKE MANY OTHER BOOKS OF ITS' KIND.IF THIS BOOK IS FLAWED IN ANY WAY, IT IS ONLY IN BEING SHORT AND LIMITED. IT IS ONE OF THOSE BOOKS THAT YOU ARE SORRY TO SEE END.

Excellent way to reconnect with your partner

This book has helped my husband to open up to me about his childhood, his dreams and his goals. I never would have thought up these questions on my own, and I now feel like I have a much better sense of his personality (and my own) after going through the questions. Even though there are enough questions here to inspire a year of interesting conversations, we tore through them and finished the book in a couple of weeks. We hope the authors come up with a new book quickly!

This book is wonderful to get to know your partner again.

This book is wonderful!!! It provides many though provoking questions. It really helped my husband and me to get to know each other again!!! I highly recommend it. We are now addicted to question books, and each other instead of tv.
