Exceptional. This is the relationship manual for thinking adults. Equal parts stuff I've long known (be kind; recognize other people; listen), stuff I've learned the hard way (listen even more; talk, too; set boundaries), and stuff I didn't yet know (on rules; on even better communication). The fact that Veaux and Rickert get the first two-thirds perfectly right assures me that they know what they're talking about in the other third. They are deeply moral and highly intelligent, a combination I'm fond of. They've lived and felt and thought, and I'm grateful to them for sharing their wisdom.
Written in a no-bullshit yet deeply compassionate voice, More Than Two is a pleasure to read. I wish I'd had it twenty years ago but am ecstatic to have it today.
