Here's what some readers have to say about
"The Business of Love"...

 Brilliantly written, Reader Views - www.readerviews.com

"This is not a book to read & give away. Keep it & expect to re-read it throughout your dynamic relationship. Dr. John Curtis brilliantly wrote 'The Business of Love' to help all couples--married or not, male or female. Read 'The Business of Love' & may your relationship grow splendidly."

Tracks with the Way I Think - John M.

"I have to say that I find this book to be one oriented to men. And there are not many books on the marriage subject to be aimed at men. That alone sets it aside as a landmark in the field. Men will appreciate what this book is saying. It makes me think differently about the whole marriage situation."

A self help book that applies successful business practices to marriage relationships
              - Midwest Book Review

"Appealing to the success-driven members of generations X & Y, "The Business of Love" is reassuring in its practicality & specificity."

Helpful At Any Age - Patsy H.

"Until I read this book I'd never have equated business with love. They appeared miles apart to me but now I see the connection. I'm almost 80 years old & was married at the age of 18 in a different time with different concepts. I always felt that my marriage was better than most but realize it could've been improved by using ideas in this book. I hope others will read this enlightening book & benefit from it."

For couples troubled or not - Ann K.

"This book is the beginning for any couple - be they beginning a relationship, or so deeply troubled & don't know where to turn - this is the map. It provides a structured & gentle way to begin the necessary discussions to create or "recreate" relationships. When a couple is at this place where things are such a mess that they can't see the forest for the trees - this not only glimpses the forest it gives you that quiet place for both of you to find - a respite, a common ground in a non-threatening & safe approach to begin again, or to begin to build your best relationship ever. Well done, John."
