Relationships Matter

Since 1986 New York based psychotherapist Marilyn Graman and Maureen Walsh have offered a weekend workshop entitled "Having What You Want With a Man" that has helped thousands of women find husbands and rewarding relationships. Now for the first time ever, the information presented in that workshop is available in a book! There Is NO PRINCE and Other Truths Your Mother Never Told You is a modern melding of traditional wisdom, post-feminist thinking and personal discovery that gently shows a woman what is in the way to her having what she wants in a relationship. This wise guide for women of all ages takes readers step-by-step through the process of preparing for, finding, choosing, managing and enjoying having a man in her life. There is NO Prince helps women get to know the enormous power they hold with their lives and with their men and overturns old ideas and wrong information about relationships, revealing secrets about men every woman should know.

Whether dating for the first time in years, moving on from a relationship that isn't right, or nursing back to health the relationship they are already in, women will discover
* the underlying issues that are keeping them from having the relationships they want
* practical, simple ways to shift and heal what isn't working and become irresistible
* that loving themselves is central to having what they want with a man.

There Is No Prince is Graman and Walshs' second relationship book in a series on the subject of having more of what you want in life taken from the technology and wisdom taught in workshops, seminars, retreats, intensives and individual sessions since 1984. Their first book, The Female Power Within: A Guide to Living a Gentler, More Meaningful Life was applauded by Arianna Huffington as "a ground-breaking exploration of the nature of women's power".

There Is No Prince is a truly liberating guide to a 21st century relationship.

User Reviews about There is No Prince and Other Truths Your Mother Never Told You: A Guide to Having the Relationship You Want

I purchased this book about 5 years ago. I had been going from awful relationship to awful dating practically giving up on men completely. Then as I was browsing through the book store one day I came across it and it looked hilarious so I had to read it. Wow, what a great surprise. This book is amazing. It dissects all the idiotic things we all do as women and puts some honest perspective in who we should really be looking for. Thanks to this book, I let an incredible man who had been knocking on my door for years back into my life. I don't think I would ever have given him a chance if this book didn't open my eyes to what I really wanted and needed in life. Read it, it will change your life for the best. I have given it to 3 single girlfriends and they are all happily married now!! -- This book changed my life!

Very insightful book! In a nice way, the author tells it like it is. This is a great resourse for personal accountability.
-- If you're single and don't know why, this is a must read!

This book is very clever. It helped me look at subconscious beliefs I hold about relationships and choose new steps to take to change them. It seems that after a few romantic experiences, most women begin to make generalizations about themselves and about men. The book helps the reader identify those and other pitfalls to forming a healthy, highly functioning relationship. I think so highly of the authors' approach, I actually flew to New York and attended their seminar, which was also revealing.

I have bought copies for friends who could use a little help. (It's more polite than pointing out things I see that might be causing them to fail to get what they want with a man). While no book is going to get you the results without effort, this book makes the steps clear, logical and practical. It teaches the reader to look at themselves differently and illuminates what may be blind spots. I recommend it highly to all single women who would like to find a long-lasting relationship. -- Looking in a different mirror

One thing that is common among both men and women is that unconscious beliefs hold us back and often keep us repeating our mistakes over and over. There is no place this is truer than in relationships. "There Is No Prince" examines how a woman's unconscious beliefs may limit her relationships and keep her from finding the person who is right for her. For example, waiting for your prince to come and sweep you off your feet. Look inside yourself, honor and be true to yourself, find the right relationship with you and then find the right relationship with a man... or don't. You really do have a choice. This is an insightful guide to creating the relationship you want; "There Is No Prince" is a highly recommended read. -- Required reading for women

I LOVED how this book lead me through a step by step process of uncovering what it is I really want a man for and then preparing me to have him enter my life. I learned: how to become irresistible to a man; that loving myself is central to having what I want in a man; the best place to meet intelligent, successful men; how to know when to say no to a man who is not right for me; how to recognize and choose a man who is right for me. And so affirming and respectful of the relationship process.
For women like me who have had their hearts broken over and over again, following these steps will empower us to choose a man who is perfect for us. This book wisely guides us to "dismantle old romantic ideas about dashing princes on white horses coming to take us away". Included is the best information about how men really are that I've ever seen. I'm SO ready for this and am well on my way to 'man'ifesting a happy relationship! -- This is the best guide on relationships I've ever read.
